Traveling to a luxurious 5-star hotel in Italy can be an exciting experience, but it can also bring some concerns, especially if you're managing a urostomy. If you're wondering how to discreetly dispose of used urostomy or medication waste bags in such a high-end setting, here are some practical tips to help ease your mind:

- Double-wrap your used pouches or medications in regular plastic or trash bags before placing them in the room's trash bin. Hotel staff are used to handling similar sanitary waste.

- Consider ordering heavy-duty blue disposal bags, which can be added to a Coloplast two-piece system order. These provide sturdier containment.

- You might want to purchase purpose-made ostomy disposal bags like Bag-It-Away or Ostaway X-Bag Ostomy Disposal Bags. These opaque black bags help control odor, offer discretion, and usually eliminate the need for double-bagging.

- As a low-cost alternative, small dog-waste disposal bags available at grocery or dollar stores can be a convenient option. They are the right size and help with odor control.

- A simple method is to wrap the used items in toilet tissue, place them in a plastic bag, tie it off with a twist-tie or knot, and leave it in the in-room bathroom bin. Most hotels empty these bins once or twice daily.

- Rest assured, luxury hotels are accustomed to handling various types of sanitary waste, including diapers and sanitary napkins, so your ostomy supplies will not be out of the ordinary. There's no need to worry too much about it.
