Cardio Causing Pouch Woes - Any Advice?

Topic Explanation
The discussion in the forum revolves around the challenges faced by an individual who has recently increased their cardio workouts and is experiencing issues with their ostomy pouch becoming undone, even on days with minimal sweating. The person is seeking advice on how to secure the pouch during physical activities.

Advice and Insights from Replies
1. Support Garments and Belts:
- Consider using support garments like the Corsinel StomaSafe Plus to help keep the pouch secure during physical activities.
- Wearing a belt or a wide elastic waistband can also provide additional support and help keep the pouch in place during workouts.

2. Alternative Exercise Options:
- If traditional cardio exercises like running cause issues, alternative exercises such as rowing might be a viable option. Rowing is less impactful but still provides a good cardiovascular workout.

3. Skin Preparation and Additional Security:
- Using skin prep products can improve the adhesion of the pouching system.
- Applying extra elastic barrier strips around the wafer can also help secure the pouch.
- Consider using products like the XL Coloplast Brava Tape Extenders for additional security.
- Heating the skin and the flange of the bag with a hairdryer before applying can improve the pouch's adherence.

4. Barrier Enhancement Products:
- Using barrier enhancement products like Soberderm barrier spray or Coloplast Brava skin barrier sheets can provide extra protection and durability against sweat and moisture, ensuring the pouch stays secure during intense activities.
