Odour can be bothersome when changing or emptying the bag, not least when away from home. Some may also fear a noticable odour in their everyday life. A few drops of deodorant in the bag can help reduce the odour.

Brava® Lubricating Deodorant

Neutralize odor and lubricate the pouch

The Brava Lubricating Deodorant neutralizes odor and ensures content is always at the bottom of the bag and not around your stoma. It also makes the bag easier to empty.

The Brava Lubricating Deodorant neutralizes odor and has a multi-lubricating effect. The multi-lubricating effect ensures content is always at the bottom of the pouch and not around your stoma. It also makes it easier to empty your pouch.

The Brava Lubricating Deodorant is used in the ostomy bag and comes in a 240ml bottle and an easy single-use sachet. The sachet is convenient to use when outside of your home or travelling.

Issues with leakage, skin irritation or odour? The Brava Online Tool helps you finding the right solution!

IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your stoma care nurse.

Ask a trusted relative/friend to be honest and tell you if they can notice any odour.

Try SenSura Mio bags – equipped with a unique full circle filter that effectively reduces ballooning and pancaking, helping to prevent odour, ensuring a more comfortable and discreet experience for ostomy patients.

A household air freshener sprayed out into the room can help mask the smell when changing the bag.

Try changing the bag more frequently (the filter might be contaminated by output, or the foil might be worn out).

Make sure the outlet is cleaned properly upon emptying (if using drainable bags).

Avoiding foods that intensify odour can be helpful (fish/eggs/leafy vegetables). For those with a urostomy, asparagus can intensify the smell of urine.

Odour in your everyday life may be caused by inappropriate product choice or application. A review of the stoma/body profile can help you check if this is the case. Consider taking the BodyCheck to ensure you are using the right appliance or check if you are following the right application routine by clicking the link.
