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. 👍

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.

Two drops of antibacterial liquid soap and followed by two or three fresh water rinses works effortlessly to control odor, washes the bag and can be used to massage the pancaking until it's loose and flowing right out.
I often leave one drop of soap and a tiny bit of water in the bag to control future output odor for the next dumping.
