Thanks for sharing those tips, Cam!

Great follow-up and feedback. Thank you for doing that! Curvy women often have issues with wraps, bands, and belts, so thanks for pointing that out....

Hi Jane, I'm sorry that you're going through that. I would strongly recommend working with a stoma nurse, since hernias can require special care an...

@dogtalkerer Thanks. I've ridden over 60km so far (with the saddle that came with the bike) and after the first two rides, it became a lot more comfor...

That's a shame, so I guess everything has gone up. I'm going to roll with the 1pc system for as long as I can, since they are the least expensive op...

@cygo Disappointing (and expected), but I hope the textile info at least points you in the right direction. If dying is easy, this could be a really c...

Depending on the brand, you can get anything from a stoma cap (not recommended for ileostomies) or 7" medium bags. I can only recommend these small...

Definitely discuss this with your stoma nurse, as Convex appliances can put additional pressure on your skin, creating sores and pressure points. B...

I've been using the Comfee Drive product since getting my stoma (nearly a decade) and it's been great - no issues at all. The company who made them wa...

I love the idea, but at the end of the day it's a money game for the companies who make these products, and I'm not sure if they have enough financial...

Nice! Let us know how you like it :) Maybe even post a mini review in a separate thread 👍

Thank you for taking the time to write, Patricia. I truly appreciate your kind words. I think that no matter how long you've had your ostomy, it's...
