This topic is about an ostomate in Cleveland, Ohio, who urgently needs ostomy deodorant but is facing a delay due to financial constraints. They are looking for a quick local solution to manage odor, especially for work.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. A kind forum member has offered to donate an unopened bottle of ostomy deodorant. They reached out through a private message to coordinate the pickup.

2. If you need a temporary solution, consider these DIY deodorant options:
- Place a few peppermint Altoids directly into the pouch. Many users find this method effective for controlling odor.
- Try cutting a coated aspirin tablet in half and dropping it into the pouch. This is a popular trick among ostomates and is often described as "working like magic."
- If the output is very thick, dissolve a whole tablet in 1–2 ounces of water before adding it to the pouch.
- Using baby aspirin or scraping the coating off a regular tablet can help it dissolve more quickly.
