Support knickers to prevent hernia

Yes, you should definitely get free support knickers on the NHS.  I get six free pairs a year.  They are great - high waisted and ribbed so offer great support. This helps with personal confidence. They come in black, white and nude and very hardwearing.  I have quite a high up stoma and a stomach hernia which these pants support.

Just wondering how it all went

All the best

Hi, I hope all went well, regarding knickers, I wasn't  given any advice so carried on with my usual underwear. High cut knickers from Asda, made from cotton with an elastic lace band. The band comes above my stoma and although they are cut high, I  find they support the bag well enough as it is held snugly against my belly. Think they are about £7 for 5 pairs . Hope this helps.  My operation was the beginning  of June and was an emergency so totally not prepared, but glad to be alive.

hi, I get five pairs of knickers a year free from my stomacare suppliers- Securicare (the best company I have ever dealt with). They are lightly ribbed to provide support, come in black, white and nude and are high waisted. They are also very durable.

Your Stoma nurses should be able to advise you as to what you're entitled to and who you need to speak to. This company also supply stoma belts for extra support. 

The pants and belts really helped boost  my confidence. Belts also free of charge.

Hi, can you tell me what the barbie butt is, I've read this on a few blogs, thanks
