Holiday

[Skenz77]

About to go on a very daunting holiday. Last time I went on a Spanish holiday with high humidity. Last time I went was years ago and my hold at was ruined for me and my family because of loss of adhesion due to the humidity. Has anyone else experienced this? And do u have any tips??

I'm guessing you are talking about a stoma and the bag not sticking???

Sorry, yes because of the humidity

Here is a recent thread that talks about humidity and sweating with a bag not sticking:

You might try putting Tegaderm all around the outside of the flange or even these made by Coloplast that you put all around the outside:

By the way, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Definitely take a look around the Stoma Subforum. There are a lot of good tips and contact information for stoma supply companies over there.

Hi I havnt got mine now but did have one for 2 years and in that time I went to Spain twice, I didnt have any problems as I changed it everyday, I went to Spain in August aswell so was very hot, just make sure you drink more than normal, hope you have fun
