This topic is about a gentle and effective way to clean a stoma daily, known as the "dousing" method. Here's how it works:

1. Take a small cup and fill it with a modest amount of water.
2. Hold the cup against the skin around your stoma, allowing the water to soak the area. This helps to loosen mucus, stool, and any adhesive residue without the need for harsh rubbing.
3. Once the area is soaked, gently wipe away the loosened material. This approach helps to minimize the risk of irritation, redness, or damage to the stoma.
4. The originator finds this method to be simple, effective, and less abrasive compared to other cleaning techniques.
