Pancaking

Hi JBJ

Pancaking and leaks are the worst 

Do you have an Ileostomy or colostomy? 

Hi Ann, I’ve got a colostomy.

Hi JBJ 

Sorry I’m an ileostomy so my output is much looser most of the time.

I will ask SarahH2 to help there’s lots of advice here so it won’t be long

The one thing that helped me was convex bags with a belt and Eakin slims it’s took a while for my stoma to show and as it was flat it had problems putting the output in the bag it pancaked a lot  the convex bags encouraged Whoopi to put it where she should  

Thanks Ann, appreciate your help.

No problem.
I was in a right pickle to start with then I joined here and got loads of tips and encouragement.

It gets so much easier.

I forget she’s there most of the time. 

I’m sure me & my new friend will work it out, we’re still in the getting to know you stage of our relationship?

Ha ha ha. 
Brilliant attitude. Will you name your new friend? 

I hadn’t thought of that, I’ll have to have a think.

God knows what the neighbours will think when we have an argument about leaking in the bed considering I live on my own, haha.

Hilarious. 
Least you’ve got your sense of humour it’s the only way

What’s your stoma called and why? 

There’s some brilliant names and some are so apt. since then there’s been loads more.
The last one Moaning Myrtle. Absolutely brilliant. Ha ha. 

hi JBJ - I've a colonoscopy and convex bags. I squirt a little baby oil and scented oil into the bag and rub it between my hands to dispurse the oil throughout the bag. This usually helps me.
