Have any of you used baby oil as an Ostomy bag lubricant? I have a flush or slightly inverted stoma and want to make sure the pooh slides into the bag and not block the stoma.

My ostomy nurse recommended cooking spray. I get generic for cheap and it's easy to spread around the bag.

I use it on a daily basis…just a dab tho….works great - turns bag lining into Teflon! jb
Especially at bedtime…if I must get up in the night output is quickly released.
