This topic is about finding a solution to manage and eliminate the odor associated with an ostomy, specifically using Hollister M9 Odor Eliminator Drops. Here's a summary of the experiences and advice shared by people who have tried this product:

- A person with a permanent ileostomy for 18 years found that despite frequent flushing and using air fresheners, they struggled with a strong, lingering odor from their ostomy output. After some research, they tried Hollister’s M9 Odor Eliminator Drops. By adding about 8 drops into the pouch after each emptying, they reported that the smell was completely removed. They described the product as a "lifesaver."

- The drops are available in 1 oz and 8 oz plastic bottles and can be purchased through suppliers like Action Medical, as well as other places where ostomy supplies are sold. The person wished they had discovered this product sooner.

- Many users confirm the effectiveness of M9 drops. Some keep bottles in every bathroom and carry one while traveling to ensure they are always prepared.

- There is also an M9 Spray version that is praised for its ability to deodorize both bathrooms and other areas, such as near kitty-litter boxes.

- Action Medical is mentioned as a reliable source for purchasing M9 products.

- As an additional or alternative option for odor control, Poo-Pourri, a toilet spray available on Amazon in various sizes, is recommended. It can be sprayed into the toilet bowl before emptying the pouch to help manage odors.
