Navigating Public Toilets with a Stoma

Changing or emptying your stoma pouch in public can be a daunting task. Here are some tips to help that process be easy and discreet.

Use a Mouldable baseplate so you can avoid prepping your supplies in a public toilet. Learn more and request samples here.

Always carry extra supplies in case you are stranded where supplies may not be available.

Create a buffer with a layer of toilet paper in the toilet bowl to avoid splashing when emptying your pouch.
