Adjusting to Life in Charlotte with an Ostomy

Topic Explanation:
The discussion in the forum revolves around adjusting to life in Charlotte, North Carolina, with an ostomy. The original poster shares their experiences of getting out more and the challenges faced, particularly when dining out due to the ostomy's behavior in public restrooms. They mention an issue with odors in the bathroom that causes discomfort to others.

Advice and Helpful Insights:
1. Odor Control Solutions:
- Consider using M9 in Green Apple from Hollister, which has been recommended for its effectiveness in deodorizing the air when emptying the ostomy bag.
- Devon Tablets are another suggested product that can help manage odors effectively. These can be purchased from Amazon if they are not available with regular ostomy supplies.

2. Clothing Recommendations:
- For added confidence while managing an ostomy, tank tops from Shapermint are recommended. These tops help hold the pouch close to the body, providing security and discretion.
