This topic is about finding a more affordable alternative to commercial ostomy deodorant drops, which can be quite pricey. The suggestion is to use baby oil, specifically Walmart’s Equate Baby Oil with a lavender scent, as a substitute. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared:

1. A few drops of lavender-scented baby oil in your ostomy pouch can serve as both a lubricant and a deodorizer, offering a budget-friendly solution that is easy to find in stores.

2. Keep a regular-sized bottle of baby oil at home and prepare travel-size bottles for when you're on the go. This can be handy for restaurant visits or flights.

3. When using public restrooms, consider these tips:
- Carry pre-rolled toilet paper or tear off sheets from the large roll before you need to empty your pouch.
- Bring wet wipes with you as they can be a great alternative to the often thin or low-quality toilet paper found in public stalls.

4. Embrace a positive mindset by viewing your ostomy as a solution rather than a problem, and keep moving forward with confidence.
