Hi Corina, It's good that you've given your husband options! While you can wear the horizontal belt with a urostomy, the liquid output will make it...

If you have the time to experiment, try seeing what it's like without the barrier ring. I trust that your new stoma is no longer retracted and sti...

@tigerlily Vanilla Blush has some wonderful products, for sure! The frustrating part about ostomysecrets is that they are owned by ConvaTec, and th...

Hi Ki, In my experience, a little seepage is pretty normal and if it's not causing damage to the skin, I wouldn't worry about it. You may notic...

Hi Dave, Yeah, the lack of Canadian distribution annoys me, especially after years of asking.

This is the worst part. They have a good product that's difficult/frustrating to use because of the container it's in! Surely their bottle manufacture...

That sounds frustrating! It seems like it's the product causing the clogs and not poor quality spray bottles, but I wonder if there's a higher quali...

Hi Dee, I'm guessing that's the Pelican pouch, right? I haven't used that brand before, but one or more of the tips in this article should help you...

While it may not be common to find people who have had reversals in support groups, the reality is that most simply return to normal life without need...

Easiest way is to email me at info@veganostomy.ca 😉

Welcome, Jillian. That sounds like quite the ordeal! I hope that you're at least feeling better now. Hernias are common, and don't usually need int...

I get that too. I caulk it up to normal at this point. LOL

It moved to the left side on a recent forum software update. Looks like a thumb now. I'm not a fan of the change, but I don't have control over that. ...
