It’s painful when you remove your stoma bag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stoma bags are designed to stay in place, which is great to feel confident throughout the day and night. Not so great when you want to remove it, therefore we always recommend using an adhesive remover.<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> You can get these in a spray or wipe version, depending on what works best for you. Also remember to take your time when removing the bag and try not to pull from the skin. Don’t forget to also check your skin when you’re changing the bag as painful removal of your stoma bag can also be a sign your skin isn’t as healthy as we want it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re changing your stoma bag too much<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Changing your stoma bag too frequently can damage the sensitive skin around your stoma. Wondering how much is too much? If you wear a closed stoma bag, it\u2019s more than 3 changes in a day, for a drainable stoma bag, it\u2019s more than once a day (although emptying your stoma bag more often is perfectly normal), and for a urostomy stoma bag, it\u2019s changing it more than every other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to increase the lifespan of your stoma bag:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
