My nurse told me to shower with my pouch on. I use coloplast products and I have found that if I remove the clamp from the pouch, and take a freezer bag, cut it in half, I can put the plastic over the barrier and put the clamp back on it..it is much easier to shower with, and I go through alot less pouches. Its also more comfortable and I sometimes wear it like that in the evenings when I am not ejecting.
I have also found that getting a carefix stoma strap to go over my ostomy makes sex much less worrisome, and I feel less self-conscious. I hope these might help someone..especially recent ostomy survivors. Mark
