Traveling with a urostomy bag can seem daunting, but with a little preparation and the right supplies, it can be a smooth experience. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your urostomy while on the go:

1. Consider using a Stealth Belt. This fabric belt secures your drainage pouch at the waist or hip, rather than letting it hang down. It allows you to pull up your pants, tuck in your shirt, and keeps the pouch out of the way during intimate moments. There are different models available, including one designed for colostomy bags.

2. Always pack two nighttime drainage bags, especially if you're traveling internationally. Finding replacements on the road can be very difficult.

3. Prepare "the kit" for easy changes. Use quart-size Ziploc bags to pack individual change kits. Each kit should contain:
- 1 wax barrier
- 1 skin barrier
- 2 skin-prep pads
- 2 alcohol pads
- 2 pieces of gauze

4. Bring extra daytime drainage (urostomy) pouches. Carry a second Ziploc bag filled with spare pouches, as they can sometimes need changing before the skin barrier does.

5. Plan how many kits to pack. For a 15-day trip, consider bringing 8 kits, which allows for changing the barrier every other day. Keep in mind that heat, humidity, and activity can reduce wear-time, so having extra supplies is crucial.

6. Many travelers with urostomies recommend having at least one Stealth Belt, with some opting for two—one for vertical and one for horizontal pouch placement. This can enhance comfort, concealment, and intimacy.

7. Experienced travelers advise packing more kits and pouches than you think you'll need. This helps cover any unexpected leaks or shortened wear-times, ensuring peace of mind during your travels.
