I would also like an answer to this question. It can be so embarrassing, especially if wearing non-dark colours, when a wet patch appears. I have tried incontinent pads but these are unsuitable. Seems that being left with our rectal stump and the mucus discharge is a topic which has not been adequately addressed. Hope we get our problem answered. I am in the UK
Lillie's Thanks. I also have tried pads . I have now sent for pants with washable liner. Will let you know if this works
Thats good. Thanks.

Tried pants with washable liner .Ok, but expensive, as would have to change all pants to these for everyday use. Now trying "ALWAYS" ( brand name) long plus panty liners, they are not too bad, backing quite sticky so they stay in place better. I will probably keep using these until someone comes up with a better idea. Hope this helps .
Always Panty Liners or the cheapest is Co-op own Brand and are very thin so don't show these are good for men as well as cost under 50p for a pack so can be changed more frequently
After trying pants with washable liner(these have to be washed and dried , so would need several pairs of these). I decided that cheap panty liners are more practical, and easily changed. Having said that , 18months after my stoma bag was fitted,I no longer require these as the discharge has stopped. My consultant told me that eventually this discharge would stop,( I really did not believe him as it continued for so long) so have faith.
Had this problem for a couple of years after my second op , but it has now just about stopped. i just make sure i clean the area when changing my bag, and first thing in a morning and last thing at night
Thank you everyone for your advice and assistance. Ian
