Planning a first spa day with a new urostomy can be both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. The idea is to enjoy a relaxing day filled with massages, steam rooms, and hot/cold baths, all while feeling confident and comfortable. Here are some helpful tips and insights to make your spa day as smooth as possible:

1. **Preparation and Peace of Mind**: It's great to hear that you're already back to enjoying vigorous activities. For your spa day, wearing an ostomy wrap and carrying an emergency change kit is a smart move. This preparation will help you feel more at ease.

2. **Leak Prevention in Water**: Consider using Hy-Tape Zinc Oxide Waterproof Pink Tape, which is latex-free. Applying this tape around the flange or wafer can help prevent leaks, even in heated pools and jacuzzis. Many find it effective for up to an hour in water.

3. **Hydration**: While you might have limited your fluid intake during the spa visit, remember that staying hydrated is important, especially when using steam rooms. Drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent dehydration.

4. **General Reassurance**: Many people have found that with the right preparation, spa days can be enjoyable and worry-free. Relax, enjoy your time, and share your experience afterward.

With these tips in mind, you can look forward to a wonderful and relaxing spa day.
