How can I keep my ostomy pouch dry while showering?
How long should one keep a bag on.
WOCNs suggest you change your bag every 3-5 days. Some people can keep a seal for longer than 5 days. It depends on the person, pouching system, stoma, and abdominal surface area of each person. If your skin underneath the wafer starts to itch consistently before 3 days, change it anyway. Itching is a sign that there is moisture or a possible leak.
