I got all of my tips from the nurses at the hospital before I left, and had scripts of course for all the stoma care products.

Used skin prep (makes a protective layer on the skin), plus stomahesive paste around the flange "hole," the piece that attaches to you first. Be sure if using a 2 part system (flange and bag) that you get a good "Tupperware seal" between them; once, early on, I didn't and in a public bathroom, my bag just fell off in the stall when I went to empty it, and stool went EVERYWHERE. Luckily, as I sat there crying, my mom was with me, and we were in a large department store, so she bought me new stuff pretty quickly and I was able to change. But just a tip!
