I didn't have them until I had the surgery to remove adhesions, now I have them several times a year. I don't know if it's coincidence, or if it has something to do with the surgery or maybe the...
I found some some people saying they use their teeth. Needless to say I'm skipping that advice. I've kind of managed to figure out a way to pinch it between my legs to keep it open to clean....

I broke my right wrist Monday and I'm having a really hard time emptying my bag! I can use all my fingers but can't move my arm down far enough to be much help. Any suggestions?...
One other thought what do you use for baths or showers? That might be loosening the seal also...
Are you using anything at all other than the paste? I honestly don't clean the area around it with anything, I just wipe off any poo or blood. The only time I use any water is if I have an irritated...

I thought the same thing. Personally I wouldn't wear a bikini, I wouldn't want people to run in horror thinking someone dressed up a beached whale! But I think if anyone feels comfortable then that's...
It's so normal to be freaked out! A few days before surgery I went into a total meltdown because I was afraid that I would never be able to do a cart wheel, or that if my husband ever cheated on me...
