Hi everyone

Does any one know whether there is a waterproof covering for an illostomy bag . I have just started swimming again and the disabled toilet/shower room is very cold and uncomfortable for changing the bag afterwards

Thanks

    Some time ago I had pouch covers specially made using shower curtain material, they were supposed to be for showering.

    In theory you should be able to swim with just your pouch on and the pat dry afterwards.

    The only products that I know about are the following Penguin pouch covers

    I don't know if the ones for showering would work.

    Regards

    Thanks for the information I will see I can give these covers a try I did try a cover from eBay but it  just let the water in so sent it back. I've tried patting it dry but it just feels to damp to get dressed. 

    Thanks again 

    Lots of love Peacock62 xxx
