Since Coloplast abandoned us and discontinued the stoma plug with no alternative, what are the options for those of us who irrigate?

I have getting towards the end of my supply of Coloplast plugs so now searching for alternatives. I know no other brands do plugs, so what is the smallest stoma cap currently on the market? The smallest? Flattest? Most discreet?

I don't irrigate, and it's been a while since I've tried caps, but I know Hollister had a few options.

Thank you. Hopefully someone else has some options as I am pretty stuck with this.

@mrryan I have never used a stoma plug; I use a stoma cap (Coloplast) after irrigation. I don’t have anything to compare it with, but I like it. I find it flat and discreet. The only thing is I have to remember is to fold down the top, otherwise the filter gets pressed up against my skin and it doesn’t breathe, and it can balloon if I have gas. Hope that’s helpful. Welcome to VO!

I should have asked earlier, but what country do you live in? Some products are more/less available, depending on the region. If you're in North America, I can see what's available at the suppliers I use.

Ok, I'm not familiar with the website I'm linking, but they do show that both Dansac and Oakmed stoma caps should be available there (Coloplast, too, and I would think Hollister): https://www.vyne.co.uk/collections/stoma-caps

You guys have a few brands that we don't have here, so there's probably a good chance that you'll find what you're looking for. Let us know if you do.
