Hello everyone. I just started using a new pouch lubricant called “It’s in the Bag” from revel. It has helped to reduce the “pancaking” I have problems with by quite a bit, although not entirely. It is extremely effective in getting my output down to the bottom of the pouch and the output slides out quickly and easily when I empty. The website address is: revelostomy.com. You can get free samples. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. You make this new journey doable for me.

Hi there and welcome. Blessing your way.
If you just started using this lubricant and highly recommend it, that's on you.
Quite a few members were not as happy and thrilled about this product. It stains, is what I got from complaints, and it weakens the integrity of the bag lining.
I had never heard of this before, but others have tried it and got bad results quickly using it.
Spend some time with a product. Check it out on here in the header icons. I believe it's artificial intelligence (AI) where you'd get a lot of info before you waste your money and time.
Welcome to the site. Good topic. 👍

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.

Within 1 day of using it on a new bag, I could smell output; I figure it affected the filter somehow. 🤷♂️ It did lube the inside of the bag better than anything I've used. I got 2 full big bottles of it, 1 lavender and 1 eucalyptus if anyone wants it.
