Abstract: A novel method for bathing with a waterproof barrier covering an ostomy appliance. The removable barrier is a bowl having a removable plate with an opening configured to receive a folded ostomy pouch. The flange of the bowl is in contact with the user's skin surrounding the ostomy appliance. A belt having a first end located opposite a second end is connected to the bowl. The first end and the second end of the belt are fastened around the abdomen of the user. The opening of the bowl forms a chamber. The chamber is configured to retain the ostomy appliance when the top portion and the lower portion of the ostomy appliance are folded over and secured with a fastener. The belt can be adjusted to tighten or loosen the bowl that is positioned over an ostomy appliance of a user to create a water tight seal.
