Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about the usage of lubricating deodorant for ostomy pouches. The original poster's mother uses Coloplast Brava Lubricating Deodorant and has been using individual packets, but received a free sample of the 250 ml big bottle and wants to know how many drops to use that is equivalent to the individual packets. The poster also asks for advice on other deodorants and the amount to apply to the pouch.

Advice and Insights:
- Measure the amount in the individual packet and use that equivalent in drops from the big bottle.
- Check the back of the bottle for instructions or call the manufacturer for guidance on the amount to use.
- Ensure the bag is coated with the lubricant before it is placed and be cautious if there is a charcoal filter to avoid contact with the lubricant.
- Consider the consistency of the stool when determining the amount of deodorant to use.
- Hydration is important to make the stool less firm and prevent issues with the bag.
- Other recommended deodorants include Safe n Simple Assure C odor eliminator/clear lubricant, with the advice to use one decent squirt onto the bag and coat the inside.
