Discovering the Stoma Dome - A Solution for Pancaking

The topic is about the StomaDome, a handy little gadget designed to help people with ostomies manage their stoma and pouch more comfortably. The StomaDome is a rigid, dome-shaped cover that attaches to your pouch using Velcro. Here's what it aims to do:

- It acts as a mechanical barrier, preventing your clothing from pressing directly on the stoma. This can help reduce "pancaking," which is when the output sticks around the stoma instead of moving down into the pouch.
- It helps create a smoother, flatter appearance under your clothes, which can be a confidence booster.

While the StomaDome is the main focus, the person who introduced it actually prefers using a lubricating deodorant spray to tackle pancaking. They mention that since using the spray, pancaking hasn't been an issue for them.

For those looking for deodorizing options, several people recommend M9 Odor Eliminator Drops, a product by Hollister, as an effective way to keep the pouch smelling fresh.
