Hi guys, I have arthritis, and the only thing that helps me is heat. As I don't have a bath, only a shower, I'm thinking about getting a hot tub! Anyone here with one and an ostomy? bluebell

My Dad and Stepmother have one that I use occasionally. The heat and chlorine does seem to loosen the adhesive on the bag a bit so you want to have a belt or something hold it tight against your skin. Figure on probably changing out your bags a little more often if you use it daily.
