Battery-Powered Blow Dryer for Camping Recommendations

If you're planning a camping trip and need a budget-friendly way to dry your skin and ostomy pouch after showering, you might be looking for a battery-powered blow dryer. Here are some helpful tips and alternatives to consider:

1. Search tips for finding low-cost cordless dryers:
- Try using the keyword "wireless" instead of "cordless" when searching online, as it may lead to cheaper options.
- The Kehuo Clearance Hair Dryer, a wireless-charging portable 500 W cordless dryer, is available at Walmart for about $17.
- Conair offers cordless models at Target for around $20.
- The Westminster "World’s Smallest Hair Dryer" can be found on Amazon for approximately $14.
- Check eBay for used or parts-only units like the Lylux Cordless Hair Dryer, with prices ranging from $10 to $60.
- Consider purchasing two inexpensive units as a backup in case one fails during your trip.

2. Alternative drying devices:
- A small battery-operated fan from Amazon can effectively dry the pouch.
- You can also manually fan the area using the hard plastic cover from a wafer package.

3. Ways to avoid getting the pouch wet, eliminating the need for a dryer:
- Hang a small shower curtain inside the stall to deflect water spray, then pat the pouch dry with a towel or change it afterward.
- Use a 4-mil plastic sheet secured with Medvac/Grainger silicone tape, which typically lasts through 3 to 4 showers. Note that ordinary shower caps may leak.
