Where/ how do you storage all the products?

just get a ladies make-up bag! Thats what I did to carry my husband's ostomy supplies around. I have the adhesive remover, the plate and extra bag plus a wipe in the bottom section zipped up and the top section I store the plastic bags, tissue, gauze etc for cleaning. Also a small bottle of water if nec. I find it works great as it has a mirror and slots for the scissor, tapes etc. Mary Anne Perera

I put it all in a ziploc bag and keep it in my purse. It really doesn't take up much space. In my car, I keep two of the kits sent by the manufacture companies as extra backups. They're too bulky to carry around, but at least I know they're there.

I may be a bloke, but I have a "man bag" and I love it. It has all my wmergency supplies in the case of accidents,. I usually have 4 spare bags, two cut to size, two not cut. I also carry two tubes of adhesive paste, dry wipes, black bags, plus my bag hole template, a pair of scissors and a pen.

So, basically. Everything I need, and I take it with me whenever I'm going to be out of the house for more than an hour (arbitary choice really).

As I'm at the hospital a number of hours during the week, my man bag comes in very handy and has regular use. Yesterday for the first time I had to change my bag while I was in my dialysis chair during a session, so had to do it one-handed .... not easy.

Eva, I think you're talking about the one that's included in the hollister sample kit. It looks like a mini trapper keeper almost, right? It also had a mini mirror inside and two mesh pockets on either side, as well as a pair of mini curved scissors. It's pretty cool, discreet, and convenient. I kept it in my glove compartment.

yes, ArPar, that's the exact one! Trapper Keeper- I love it! It does look like one..... the "mirror" inside iws basically useless, it'sw like silvery coated stiff cardboard! But better than nothing, I suppose. I keep mine in my desk drawer at work- small, discreet, holds everything. I've used it once, emergency leak at work- then just re-stock it, & it's back in the desk drawer, hiding...!!! Juroso, if you called various manufacturers & asked them for free "travel bags", I bet you'll get like 4-6!

I have a small clear ziploc bag with 2 pouches, wafers, eakin seals, a tiny travel bottle of M9, a few napkins, and a disposal bag or two that I carry around in my manpurse (knapsack) or briefcase or computer case or whatever, and a larger gallon ziploc with about 6 of each that i also carry in carry on luggage when i am travelling for trips up to 2 weeks long (way more changes than I would do in that period but it is for piece of mind), and inlcuding a larger travel bottle with m9 juice. If i was travelling for 3 weeks or more i'd pack some more in my checked luggage too. The little bag i take on the go is paperlight and very compact. Oh, in the snall bag I do carry my Equalizer thingie that helos me apply even pressure around the flange when I change.

I try and get in the habit if carrying a couole extra ziploc bags to put a disposed pouch in because there are occasions where i find it more convenient to replace my pouch filled with poop with a new pouch rather than empty the pouch... Eg if one is hiking say in a place without toilets. i dont mountain climb like Blueheron but this is one of the many fantastic things about two piece pouch setups that I think make them a homerun vs one piece- one accumulates so many extra pouches that one can always repkace the whole pouch in seconds if emptying it is not convenient. I have done this with zero mess using my hollister- it takes some practice to get the touch to do it in seconds though.

re mirrors - have not needed a mirror since a week out of surgery. i dont get why anyone needs a mirror.
