Stallion 71,you could try Tucks rectal wipes & just a cap on your stoma to take a break from the waffer & pouch,while your hang'in around the house.It gives your area a break.plus you can try some petroleum jelly on your stoma,just don't block up the hole & watch the waffer area,cause it willn't stick! Good luck!

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.
