The correct Bag for an Ostomy

Getting involved in the world of having an ostomy is a learning curve.  It can be disheartening to hear horror stories and all the things that can go wrong.  Some people start by attempting to break the ice with a story that they will never forget and that brings terror to your mind and soul.  It is instead nicer to just get real good information that is useful and keeps the emotional trauma of the nightmare poop bag away.  I find that getting the correct gear for your ostomy and stoma is essential. I personally prefer to use Hollister Ostomy Supplies.  This is a company who knows their customer and provides products based on their needs.  They don’t try to simply profit off of people who have an Ostomy and Stoma.   One of my favorite parts of this company is the ability to get a sample product.  Like most Ostomy products they come in  bulk or quantity of 5 to 50.  The worst thing is buying a lot of a product and finding out it doesn't work with you or you like another one better.  Being able to test drive a product from Hollister Ostomy Supplies is simply amazing. 

For me trying their two piece mini ostomy pouch was a success.  I know right so exciting, a review on an ostomy bag. I get it, but it is a great product and I recommend it.  It has a lock and role micro seal feature that is really nice and the filter works great.  Yes, like the title it is a two piece system. It is indeed meant to be cleaned out at the bottom section.  The lock and role section at the bottom is easy to use. It simply makes sense and most importantly it works!  Nothing is worse than the fear of leaking and smelling when and where I really don’t want it to happen.

 So knowing that this pouch is secure is great.  The filter on the pouch also works very well.  I am not going to go and cause a seen and to me that is important.  The last thing I want is to have to worry about my ostomy getting in the way of my life.  It is not a big deal to fix issues and I always carry a spare amount of supplies but I don’t want to ever have to use them.  For new users that is a true terror and I want to reassure them that you are less likely to have an incident using this company.
