Stoma supplies

Hi Tizz101 

Stoma supply companies basically all are suppliers of the same products, so you will likely get lots of different answers on who people prefer and why. I have changed suppliers twice before due to mistakes made with orders etc but have been with my now preferred company-Respond- for several years.

I travel regularly with 2 stomas, and no, my bags don’t inflate on flights. We’ve often had discussions in the stoma support group about travel and can give lots of tips-so you may want to join that group too and pose your question there. This is the link

Stoma Support Group

All the best with your upcoming surgery-there will be lots of support for you here and in the stoma group from those of us who have been through this.

Thanks for that information.  Will join the stomas group

Hi Tizz 

I used a number of bags before I found the right one , it's trial and error I suppose. I was apprehensive about how well it would stick to my skin, one stuck better than the other. I then discovered that if i shaved around the outer area (not close to the stoma itself) it stuck like glue. There are also tapes that you can get supplied that go round the outer edging which give you more confidence. 

Nightbags should compliment the stoma bag you decide to use . My nightbag tube is really flexible which is good aside toss and turn alot.

Wishing you all the best for July and keep us updated and don't forget to ask anything
