Hello everyone. I'm a newbie. Had my surgery on October 23/18 - irreversible colostomy. I'm coping quite well and grasping this new world. I'd like to air the skin that gets covered up by the flange. What can I do with my stoma for an hour or so to stop the poop from dropping all over the place. Is there some kind of stopper I can get? Look forward to suggestions. Thanks
