Does anyone shower or bath with their stoma bag off?

0

Having a close relative who had a bag for a while I know they used to bath/shower wearing it you can get a cap that you can fit for about an hour if you want to remove bag for bathing etc. Avoid using any moisturising products, shower gels or soaps as it will effect how well it is able to stick to skin, I should think creams also you should be careful with for this reason. Try using a mild antibacterial soap There are other care products special sprays and extra adhesive pads to add more support and security to the wearability time of the pads, and help minimize leakage and different bags. The link I have added below has a range of specialist products, but if in doubt phone your stoma nurse , its what there employed for.
