No place for complacency

This topic is about the importance of staying vigilant with stoma care, even when things have been going smoothly for a long time. It highlights how a moment of complacency during an irrigation session led to a messy situation when an overfilled sleeve detached unexpectedly. Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Even if you've been managing your stoma without issues for years, it's crucial to stick to your routines and precautions to avoid unexpected mishaps.

2. The incident happened while using the standard irrigation sleeves and baseplates provided by the manufacturer. This experience inspired the person to create their own more secure baseplates, which have since prevented similar accidents.

3. A fellow ostomate expressed sympathy and pointed out that standard irrigation sleeves can hold a lot, making cleanup quite extensive if they detach.
