When I travel anywhere grocery shopping, sightseeing in the local area, or long-distance traveling, I take 2 mini pads and fold them sticky sides together and absorbing sides outside. Tuck them in my clean pouch and let the pads absorb the exiting liquid from my stoma. I feel safe and can go a lot longer time before emptying the pouch and then adding 2 fresh mini pads.
