Disposing of Medications in Upmarket Hotels?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person with a urostomy op who is going to a luxurious hotel in Italy for the first time and is concerned about how to dispose of their used medications.

Replies - Advice and Insights:
- Double wrap everything and use an outside trash bin for disposal.
- Use heavy-duty blue bags or ostomy disposal bags for the pouch and dispose of them in the trash.
- Doggy disposal bags from grocery or dollar stores can be used for disposal, as hotels are accustomed to disposing of diapers and sanitary napkins.
- Use plastic trash bags to put used appliances and tie them with a twist tie before disposing of them in the trash can.
- Consider using black bags for odor control and ease of use, and order directly from the manufacturer for discretion.
- Wrap used supplies in toilet tissue, bag them, and leave them in the hotel room trash, as hotels usually empty garbage once or twice a day.
- For disposing of used insulin needles, carry them with you or try to obtain a sharps container from the hotel or ship, or use a "clipper" to cut off the needle end.
- Don't overthink the disposal issue too much, as there is generally a solution, and all works out well.
