This topic is about finding a dry, travel-friendly alternative to Hollister M-9 liquid deodorant drops for someone with an ileostomy. The goal is to avoid the hassle of carrying liquids while traveling and to prevent any potential luggage stains. The person is looking for a solution that is as effective as the M-9 drops and ideally comes in a dry form, like a capsule or wafer, that can be placed in the tail of a drainable pouch. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Altoids peppermint mints: You can place one or more mints in the pouch each time you empty it. This offers a simple and mess-free way to control odor.

2. Artificial sweetener packets: Some people have found that sprinkling packets of sweeteners like saccharin, aspartame, or sucralose into the pouch helps neutralize odors.

3. Tic Tac mints: These work similarly to Altoids and have the added benefit of being used as breath mints when not needed for the pouch.
