This topic is all about finding a practical and comfortable carry bag for colostomy supplies, especially for those who travel on foot. The original travel case provided with ostomy products can sometimes be too small or awkward to carry. Here are some helpful insights and advice from others who have faced similar challenges:
1. The Welland travel case is popular for its clever design, including a built-in shelf and suction hook, which makes it easy to set up in bathrooms with hidden cisterns. However, it might not have enough space, so some people use an additional bag for other items like food and drinks.
2. Switching to a day-pack or rucksack can be a great solution. It offers more space and comfort, keeps your hands free, and can hold extras like water and snacks. Plus, it might help with posture by encouraging you to keep your shoulders back.
3. Camping washbags, such as the Jack Wolfskin model, are another option. They come with an integrated mirror and hanging hook, and have multiple compartments to neatly organize pouches, creams, rings, and other supplies. They can be conveniently hung up in bathrooms.
4. A messenger bag is also a practical choice for carrying supplies. However, be aware that it might be mistaken for a laptop bag, which could attract unwanted attention.
