How do I manage toilet access during days out with a colostomy?
Planning toilet access in advance is one of the most helpful steps you can take. Before leaving, think about where you are going and what facilities are available on the route and at the destination. If travelling by car, identify service stations or public toilets ahead of time. If using public transport, check what facilities are on board and at stations. Keep your travel kit in a bag you can reach quickly so you do not need to search for it. Many people also feel more confident choosing relaxed outings where there is no pressure to stay in one place too long if they need a private moment.
