Recently launched in 2008 on the UK’s “This Morning” TV show, Vanilla Blush “basically design fashionable, sexy and above all confidence boosting lingerie for men and woman and teenagers with a stoma”.

Nicola Dames, founder of Vanilla Blush, says: “Vanilla Blush is completely different to what is already available out there. I want to send the message to as many folk as possible that we do not have to reside ourselves after surgery to a lifetime of ugly knickers.”

Nicola will be travelling to New Orleans to attend the UOAA’s second annual convention in August. So, while British, Spanish, French and Portuguese ostomates are already benefitting from the Vanilla Blush philosphy, the range is being launched in the USA too.

For more information, and to check out her range of ostomates underwear and swimwear, please visit the Vanilla Blush website at www.vblush.com. You can also view Nicola’s appearance on “This Morning” by clicking the video play button below, or by visiting the press section of the VB site.
