I have a few tips for my ostomy friends out there when you travel locally or on extended trips: I never leave the house without an emergency change out. When I travel on an airplane, I carry a backpack with extra supplies and a change of underwear and a t-shirt and extra pants. I carry rolled up several toilet paper sheets (folded 5 times) and a 3 oz. container of baby oil (airlines allow up to 3 oz of liquid on carry-on) in a zip lock bag. The baby oil is a very inexpensive lubricant. The toilet paper in public facilities is difficult to unravel and very thin, and sometimes the roll is empty. This also speeds up the bathroom process if you happen to be out with business associates or friends. Safe travels! Penguins7
