Using a Hot Tub with a Stoma Bag: Tips and Advice

The topic at hand is about enjoying a hot tub while wearing a stoma bag. If you're wondering whether it's possible and how to do it comfortably, here are some helpful tips:

1. Consider using an ostomy belt. It can provide extra security and help prevent leaks, which means you won't have to change your bag as often.

2. Many people find that standard ostomy bags and flanges stick well in both hot tubs and swimming pools. So, you can simply get in and enjoy the experience.

3. Wearing a compression shirt can offer discreet support and help keep the pouch snug against your body during water activities.

4. Remember to keep a favorite drink nearby to stay hydrated while you're soaking in the hot tub.

5. Once you're done, use a hair dryer on a cool or low-heat setting to thoroughly dry the pouch and flange area.
