This topic is about making the process of removing and burping an ostomy pouch easier and more comfortable. The poster shares a simple tip using Brava Lubricating/Deodorant to help with this.
- When changing your ostomy pouch, try placing a single drop of Brava Lubricating/Deodorant into the groove of the pouch flange, which is the part that locks onto the wafer like a Tupperware lid. This light coating acts as a lubricant, making it much easier to remove and reattach the pouch. It also helps with "burping" the pouch to release any accumulated gas throughout the day.
- For additional odor control, consider placing a small mint, such as a Tic Tac, inside the pouch. As it dissolves, it can help dilute or mask any odors.
