Fuzzbutt’s Top Tips: #3
Hi Everyone! Never fear, fuzzbutt’s here! I’m back with another one of my top tips for you.
There are LOTS of Ostomy products manufacturers, making many different styles and ranges of Ostomy pouches, flanges, creams and lotions etc. Most, if not all of them, offer a free sample service via their freephone customer helplines. And so, my top tip is that when you first get your Ostomy, don’t presume that the pouch the hospital sticks on you, is the pouch you have to use for the rest of your stoma’s life. So long as the doctor is OK with it, why not try out as many different products as necessary until you find the one that is best for you.
This advice is good for long-term ostomates too. If you’ve been using the same product for years and years, give some of the new ones a try too, as thanks to new technologies and manufacture techniques you may find a product that is even better than the “old-faithful” brand you’ve been using for so long.
