This topic is about making life a bit easier and more comfortable for those with an ostomy, especially when it comes to showering and intimacy. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. A nurse suggested showering with the pouch on. To make this more convenient, you can use Coloplast equipment. Here's a simple trick: remove the pouch clamp, place half of a cut freezer bag over the barrier, and then reattach the clamp. This plastic cover helps protect the pouch during showers, saves on pouch usage, and can be worn in the evening when output is usually minimal.

2. For those moments of intimacy, using a CareFix stoma strap can help. Placing it over the ostomy can reduce feelings of worry and self-consciousness, making intimate moments more comfortable.

3. People in the forum appreciated these ideas, and a new ostomate expressed interest in learning more about the CareFix stoma strap, showing that it could be a helpful product for others seeking similar comfort.
