Stomas
Hi I have a stoma and as you know I have to attach a bag to my skin over the stoma to receive the waste, many times after emptying the bag I feel as though I havent been able to squeeze all the waste out especially if it is stoggy and this makes me feel a little 'dirty' so I now have an empty 125ml bottle in my bathroom cabinet and after empying my bag at night before bed I hold the bag up squeeze the top making a sort of opening I fill the bottle with luke warm water and tip it into the bag refold and sqish it around and empty into the toilet, makes me feel 'clean'.

How often do you change your bag and do you do it at same time?
Hi Colin, generally I change every 2 days but as you know you can have bad days ie itching soreness and I find the best time is after emptying the over night liquid the second time but of course we have no control so it can be hit and miss
