This topic is about finding the right amount of Hollister M9 Odor Eliminator to use in an ostomy pouch to effectively manage odor. The person who started the discussion is using "a couple of squirts" but still notices some odor when releasing gas from the pouch and is unsure if they are using too much or too little.

Here are some helpful tips and insights:

1. Hollister's official recommendation is to use 4-12 drops per application, which is about one light squeeze of the bottle.

2. Many users find that the recommended amount isn't always enough. They suggest:
- Using "one good squeeze" or "two good squirts" of M9.
- Gradually increasing the number of drops until the odor is completely eliminated.

3. To save on costs, since using larger amounts can be expensive, some people prefer to use M9 only for outings or special occasions rather than every day.

4. Other ideas for controlling odor include:
- Adding a Tic Tac to the pouch along with M9.
- Combining M9 with a lubricating deodorizer to enhance both odor control and ease of emptying the pouch.
- Using Safe N Simple Ostomy Pouch Deodorant, which is an effective and more affordable alternative (around $9.99 for 8 oz) if M9 is not covered by insurance.
