Hygiene tips for traveling with new friends

Hi! I’m F32, and recently started dating again after a long term relationship. I have moderate/ severe Crohn’s with multiple complex anal/ rectovaginal fistulas with setons placed. I was diagnosed about 10-12 years ago, and have had some bowel resections, and a temporary ileostomy that was reversed years back.

Overall, I’m super comfortable with things in general, but I had a long term partner for years and recently started traveling more with friends and people I’ve been dating. I definitely grew used to sharing a room with someone I’ve known for a decade, so now I’ve been thinking a bit more about smell, bathroom use, sex etc. I’m pretty stable with the disease currently, though gas, multiple bathroom trips are a constant. Curious what tips you all have before I go away with someone new next week!

Also, anything sex related welcome as well, would love to stay minimally bloated (to whatever extent is in my control)
