Having an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to limit the things you enjoy. Many ostomates play sports or work demanding jobs, yet driving often becomes a source of stress because of one thing: the seat belt.
One of the concerns that ostomates face is whether they can get their appliance wet or not.
Ostomysecrets is a big name when it comes to clothing made for ostomates. Undergarments, swimwear and wraps are their specialty, and they have some of the most well-made products around.
Finding the right ostomy appliance is just as important as finding the right pair of shoes to wear.
Many ostomates feel more self-conscious about their body than the average person.
Inspired by another fellow blogger, I’ve decided to finally get a proper EDC (every day carry) bag for my ostomy supplies. This new bag is replacing a MUCH LARGER tactical shoulder bag, which I may still use for hikes or whenever more supplies are needed.
Liquid output, “ballooning” and odor – three problems that many ostomates are faced with on a daily basis.
Not long ago, I reviewed the Osto EZ-Vent product and had given it a very favorable review.
One problem that most, if not all, ostomates face is pouch ballooning.
Ballooning is caused when gas fills your ostomy pouch and has nowhere to go. The result can be a very inflated pouch that can end up causing a leak or even a full-on explosion!
When looking for an ostomy pouch deodorant, the product “Na’Scent” comes up quite often in ostomy-related forums.
