Hi , it may seem odd that I'm posting about this product now it's gone , but Coloplast made a lot of people happy  while it had this plug available .It was for silencing a noisy stoma, was shaped like a mushroom, and you inserted it after you had been or irrigated, for colostomies only .I used it all the years I was working and like many people who relied on it , I am gutted , now that it's gone .I don't think it was available in the U/S , but in the UK it is very sorely missed .To my knowledge , there is nothing like it on the market .I hate the way manufacturers just withdraw products with no notice given to users .I have a friend who has no stoma but relied on the Peristeen anal plug when going out .That too just disappeared overnight , now only available in the U/S at an eye watering price per item !

by the way , Hi everyone and happy New Year (soon ) !!

Welcome to the forum, @rainy12!

Is this what you're referring to? If so, I know it as a "stoma cap", and I'd be very surprised if they discontinued it.

If that's what you're looking for, other brands may have similar options.

@veganostomy No, this is just a stoma cap. A stoma plug is something different; it’s meant to go in the stoma. I have never used one; I don’t think it was available in Canada either. It is frustrating when products that we come to rely on are no longer available. Especially when it affects quality of life.

@tigerlily It's like another world of products when we're talking about colostomies (vs. ileostomies). 🤣 

Happy new year 😊

There should be an "attach file" with a button to browse using the default system dialogue under the chat box area.

If you click on the icon in the text formatting bar, then it will ask for a URL.
