Re: Odor


Sue......You could use M9 deodorizing drops that they sell where ever
you buy your supplies or I use scope mouthwash. I use a small
plastic watering can and put cold water in it with some scope in it
and rinse my bag. You could also buy a sample(trial size) version to
to keep in your purse and just add alittle when you feel you need it.
Hope this helps you. My stoma nurse told me always use cold water
because warm water will make the smell linger.
