Does anyone here know if you are able to in an infrared sauna if you have a colostomy? I just recently bought a sauna and now I find I may be going on a permanent colostomy.

    Dear Friend,

    I have been in steam saunas, dry saunas and jacizzis with my colostomy pouch on. Just put a fresh one on before and replace it right after. 

    Enjoy!

    Thank you!

    Thanks, Laz! What a relief. I was afraid I may have just wasted alot of money.
