Hi All,

Has anyone encountered issues with using 2 different pouch deodorant products simultaneously? I’ve been using Brava lubricating deodorant with M9 for the past week with good success but have started to wonder if I should be concerned about any unforeseen reactions between products that were not tested together. I would use just M9 as that is the best deodorant I’ve tried so far but need the lubricating component. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have been using the "Brava lubricant" (2/3) i.c.w "Safe n' Simple Ostomy Pouch Deodorant" (1/3) for over half a year without any issues and also wondered when I first started using it this way. So far so good, no (skin)issues or anything like that and it never exploded :)

Good Morning Marco and JTVT

I use Adapt lubricating deodorant by Hollister and to stretch it out since they only allow just so many bottles every 3 months . I mix it with a little baby oil and water . I know some would say baby oil ??? But yes I have mixed it like this for probably over a year now and had no problems at all . Although when I empty me bag I only give a short squirt . Example probably no more than a couple water bottle caps .

I do the exact same thing. Brava lubricating deodorant and M9 mixed about 50/50. I don't think there is anything to worry about.  Just my opinion.

Hey folks, nice to see you here! I've been a bit out of things but I'm sort of back ! 

I too use the Adapt lubricating but only when I have thicker output and always on the day of a pouch change. This keeps anything from gathering at the stoma. Because of cost I count every single 20 drops of M9 into my pouch that goes in. I get one month out of an 8 oz. bottle with my active ileostomy.  Before M9 which I learned about here, Thankyou Eric,  and on a occasion the Adapt, which I always mixed, I have had no issues at all.  

One time my son had searched on the net for a recipe for homemade deaoderant for the pouch and I used a recipe for 8 yrs,  I made up in a one gallon milk jug. It had  baby shampoo and 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide in it and other stuff.  It worked well for me but  inconvenient to make and pour into bottles all the time. I had been reusing the Hollister M9 bottles I had saved as samples and the lids leaked horribly from the spout! 

But yup, I mix as well with never any issues! I do not think you need to worry JTVT.

Thanks all! I like the Brava + M9 combo other than the increased volume of liquid in a freshly emptied pouch. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t mixing bleach and ammonia!

I use Adapt only with a pouch change as it just doesn’t last (and I am a rinser), mixed with a little M9  because really any deodorant in the Adapt doesn’t work at all for me.

LK, so interesting about a homemade recipe. I haven’t been able to find one on the internet but will keep looking - I might try it out.
