Not to throw out but to store and travel with? Right now I'm carrying mine in the Hollister Kit that seems to be pretty common tossed into my backpack front. Unfortunately it does not hold full size tubes and everything else I want. I'll snap a pic when I've got time. The backpack while it works is disappointing, I bought a nice purse and wallet before Christmas last year and was enjoying my first "grownup" lady bag. However with my wallet, a 16oz water bottle for me and one for Oscar, my large datebook, a 12 oz bottle or two of gatorade, a snack, sanitary pads it's kind of hard to fit into my satchel purse. Home storage, I found some great small stacking totes, lock n lock, that are fantastic for my supplies. One tray holds my marker, templates, scissors. Next tray my remover wipes and skin prep wipes, also powder. Next tray has Eakins rings and paste. Next down has 2-3 flanges and bags. I am looking at something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Travelmall-Organizer-Toiletry-Cosmetic-Handbag/dp/B01N2MDEZQ/ref=sr_1_47?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1507114987&sr=8-47&keywords=hanging+toiletry+bag&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011 for dropping in my purse. Crohn's Colitis, Ilieostomy, Proctocolectomy November 2017 For travel and home use, I make up kits and put into quart (liter) plastic bags to have all the supplies at hand. In the bags I put a disposable bag, 2 gauze squares, stoma cleaner/adhesive remover, stoma ring, precut barrier, and bag. I make ten of these kits at a time since the bags come 10 to the box and the barriers 5 to the box. These 10 kits last 40 days. I have taken them on ship cruises and RV trips. Pretty handy. I use precut barriers so I don't have to carry scissors. As far as taking kits with me around town etc, I don't worry about it. Never had a leak in public, only at night if I roll over on a full bag. I was going to add a picture to this post and found that I would have to have it somewhere to link to. Which I don't anymore. Bill I have a couple of bags for my bags =) At home: I received a really nice bag from Coloplast when I was in the hospital, then asked their customer service person for a second one, which they sent. It's designed for ostomy supplies, so it has a hook you can use to hang while having access to everything in it. It's got multiple pockets, a side holder for adhesive remover sprays, and more. It was free, and Coloplast may still have them, so I'd call them to ask :) Travel: When I'm traveling, I will either bring the Coloplast hanging bag or the Condor Multicam T&T pouch (Amazon link). I Explained the ins and outs of the T&T bag in this article and I still recommend it: https://www.veganostomy.ca/my-ostomy-travel-kit-march-2015/ Out and about: For everyday carry, I love my Pacsafe Venturesafe 150. Amazon link I actually picked it up for when I went to Orlando last year - it's a great travel bag that's slash-proof, RFID-blocking, and has other security features to prevent theft. It's got enough room for 1-2 appliance changes, plus my wallet, keys, powerbank, pocket knife, etc. I keep this sling bag on me through my waking hours, but I don't have enough supplies in it for travel (it could hold that amount of supplies, but then it would only be for carrying supplies). Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. I like the Condor T&T bag multiple uses . I will ck that one out . Proctectomy , Ileostomy , Ulcerative Colitis I like the Condor T&T bag multiple uses . I will ck that one out . Yeah, it's got a spot for everything! Just a quick note that mine didn't come with the shoulder strap, so I had to get that one separately. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate.
