About
In May of 2009 I received an Ileostomy due to ulcerative colitis. After months of the ostomy bag swaying, moving and irritating my skin and other body parts, I came up with the Ostomy Pocket. After testing several prototypes, this snap on and off style was chosen, most comfortable, and is washable and re-usable. In addition to underwear, this will help at any ostomy location as it can also attach to light pajamas and/or t-shirts.
I have to say that wearing this at night now allows me to turn from one side to the other without the bag swaying around. It is safely positioned within the Ostomy Pocket. When going to the bathroom, since the Ostomy Pocket is attached to my underwear, it is never in the way of emptying my ostomy bag.
In addition, personally having a few, I leave the Ostomy Pocket attached to my underwear so it goes into the washer and dryer together. This was just easier since we ostomates have other things to change and lineup when required. It is one less thing to prepare for during a change.
Good Luck to all,
