I am sure this has been discussed on this board before, but I couldn't find any.  Would anyone share what brand of drops they find work the best in the bags to help eliminate odor?  I have heard of using tic-tacs too.

Thanks!

in the last week I have tried m9 and the hollister brand adapt, I definitely like the m9 drops the best!!! They work great!!! I've heard people use 3% peroxide just the kind u buy at the pharmacy and say that works great too and is really cheap ;-)

Hope this helps ;-)
Take care

m9 is good at home, and when im out i carry the packs of adapt lubricating deodorant and it works too, just a little messy.
i havent had any luck with peroxide or mouth wash.

Hollister M9 drops are great! Reliamed and Stop deodorizers work just as well. For me, mouthwash just makes it smell like minty poo, and hydrogen peroxide bubbles up too much and makes my pouch poof up with air.

The peroxide works great for me.

Do you use the M9 each time you empty your bag? I have to empty my bag at least 10 times a day........ that is a lot of M9 tablets!!

The smell can be horrific! I am now flushing right after I empty my bag, and then again once I am finished. Helping with the smell, but I now use the upstairs bathroom only, close the door, and put the fan on.........

I may need to get some M9 tablets!!!!! Buy stock in them too :-)

For me the M9 worked pretty well, but the hydrogen peroxide works better. I also like that it's cheaper and it's clear. The M9 bottle is such (or perhaps I am such) that I sometimes spilled a blue drop somewhere in the bathroom before I put it down.... I put the hydrogen peroxide in a squeeze bottle and I have no issue with it.

Anyone try the pills you can take orally?

I use the M9 drops and they work very well. I don't use them consistently, but if I find my output is particularly odoriferous on a given day, I will put some in. My nurse told me to never use hydrogen peroxide. I have no idea why, as so many people have luck with it. Since I like the M9 drops so much though, I never had a reason to try the peroxide.
