The topic is about getting a spray tan before a big graduation party while having an ostomy. The original poster is curious about whether it's safe and practical to do so with an ostomy appliance, which includes a wafer and pouch.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Many people with ostomies have found spray tanning to be safe and have done it without any issues.

2. To protect the stoma:
- Keep your ostomy appliance on during the spray tanning session.
- You might want to place a small piece of soft tissue or gauze inside the pouch over the stoma opening for extra protection, though this is optional.

3. Regarding adhesive concerns:
- Ostomy pouches and wafers are waterproof, so the tanning solution should not affect them.
- Some people have reapplied fresh wafers after tanning and reported no problems with adhesion.

4. Practical tips:
- Ensure that no tanning solution gets on the bare skin around the stoma where a new wafer will need to stick. If it does, clean the area thoroughly.
- If you have any doubts, consider consulting your doctor or stoma nurse for reassurance.

5. Remember to focus on enjoying the event. Many people suggest not feeling pressured to change your appearance, as photos often use filters anyway.
