This topic is all about finding a homemade solution for lubricating and deodorizing ostomy pouches. If you're looking to create your own DIY lubricant and deodorant, here are some suggestions and insights from others who have tried different methods:

1. It's best to avoid using baby oil, as many have found it doesn't work effectively for this purpose.

2. Consider using generic food-grade cooking oil. Some people find it works similarly to Hollister’s Adapt Lubricating Deodorant, helping to prevent the pouch film from sticking and offering moderate odor control.

3. Cooking-spray aerosols, like Pam or similar brands, are recommended by some ostomy nurses. They can be used to coat the inside of the pouch and also sprayed in the toilet bowl to make clean-up easier.

4. For a DIY mixture, try combining about 1 teaspoon of Hollister Adapt Lubricating Deodorant with 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide. This combination is reported to provide good lubrication and deodorizing effects. The deodorant is available for free every two months under Alberta healthcare, and the hydrogen peroxide is inexpensive and can be found at places like Walmart.
