@mikeleen Welcome to the forums. Feel free to post an introduction if you are comfortable doing so. You can post it HERE if you choose.

Welcome to the forums @kevin-eh I think many of your concerns are quite valid and could likely be solved by using a stoma guard during those times....

My wife and I used to watch the Poirot TV show religiously when it was still on the air. We even named our first Iguana after him! Oh man, I now h...

Hey there. Cut the hole on the top of the bag (as shown in the video) where there's only a single layer. That's the best way that I've found to use ...

I had to laugh because I 100% fall in the "been-there-done-that" camp. 😂😂 I also had to forgo sitting on a toilet while my butt healed, but I've bee...
