This topic is about creating convenient "Grab-and-Go" kits using Ziploc bags to make ostomy bag changes quicker and easier, especially during travel or emergencies. The idea is to have everything you need in one place to avoid common issues like forgetting essential items, which can lead to leaks. Here’s how you can set up your own kit and some additional tips:

1. Prepare several complete change kits in quart-size Ziploc bags. Each kit should include:
- A pre-cut ostomy pouch/wafer (ensure your stoma size is stable)
- A silicone barrier ring (also known as a gel ring)
- A barrier (skin-prep) wipe
- An adhesive-remover wipe
- Stoma powder
- Optional items: tape, scissors, a small garbage bag, baby wipes, and a measuring guide

2. The Ziploc bag can also serve as an emergency container for emptying the pouch if a toilet isn’t available.

3. For those who travel, consider using collapsible silicone measuring cups for easy emptying on the go, and "Diamond" brand absorbent sachets to thicken the output.

4. If you experience leaks, it might be due to positioning or fit issues rather than diet. Check the adhesive side of the wafer after removal; if one area is more eroded, use stoma paste or a trimmed piece of a silicone/elastic ring to build up that spot before applying the full ring and wafer.

5. Some users have found that switching to a convex wafer can help eliminate erosion and leaks. You might want to try a convex system from your manufacturer.

6. Remember, every mistake is a learning opportunity. Keep refining your routine to find what works best for you.

7. For travel, it’s helpful to carry a collapsible rinse bottle and spare underwear and shorts as a "security blanket" in case of major accidents.

8. Some products that might be useful include Ziploc bags, silicone barrier rings from various brands, tube stoma paste, Diamond brand absorbent sachets, convex wafers/pouches, and collapsible silicone measuring cups.
