This topic is about a practical and budget-friendly way to manage odors and improve the function of an ostomy pouch using baby oil gel. Here's how it works and some helpful tips:
1. Add about 2 teaspoons of baby oil gel into your ostomy pouch and rub the surfaces of the pouch together. This helps distribute the gel evenly.
2. The light "baby" scent of the gel effectively masks odors, even if there are gas leaks.
3. The gel also acts as a lubricant, making it easier for stool to slide out and keeping the inside of the pouch cleaner.
4. This method is both inexpensive and easy to use.
5. You can use store-brand baby oil gel instead of the name-brand version to achieve the same deodorizing and lubricating benefits, which can help you save even more money.
