This topic is about dealing with the issue of night-time pouch ballooning for those with an ostomy. The discussion focuses on using baby oil as a lubricant inside the ostomy pouch to make nighttime clean-ups easier and more efficient.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Applying a generous amount of baby oil inside the ostomy pouch before going to bed can help manage over-inflation during the night. This makes it easier to empty the pouch quickly if needed.

2. The baby oil creates a slick surface inside the pouch, allowing the output to slide out more easily and leaving less residue behind. This can significantly reduce the time and effort needed for cleaning.

3. Many people find that regular baby oil works better for them than specialized ileostomy lubricants available on the market. It helps the output empty more smoothly and simplifies the cleaning process.
