I met with my Colorectal Nurse this week. Tummy marked for ideal location of stoma and lots of information given! Can any ladies give any recommendations regarding the 6 items/clothing/support belts etc that can be ordered each year on prescription that are the most useful.

  • Sorry, I started my description earlier got distracted and just finished it. I didnt realise you'd already posted!

    Anyway, I wouldn't be without mine and there's enough elastane in them for comfort when holding 1 bag - not sure about 2 different ones but they tested them with people who have stomas so I think they would be comfortable then too. And especially when on energetic walks, gym or Pilates when I generally forget I have a bag in there 

    Best,

  • They actually look really nice-I was impressed! I’d perhaps consider them if I just had a urostomy, but a bag leak from my colostomy means knickers in the bin every time for me, so it would be expensive for me overall. Nice, comfortable looking underwear though.
