Hey Keith, SealthBelt has both a horizontal and vertical model, but not one that does both (I can't see how they could). Another alternative, whic...

For me, I always have good luck with some fairly deep massaging around my stoma. Sometimes you can get a feel of where the pressure is, and work on th...

@john68 John, it's so wonderful to hear from you! Junior sounds like a bit of a brat, but I'm sure they'll settle down once you're at home. 🤣
