Hi! First off to let you guys know the reason behind the struggle, is that I'm from the Philippines. Hence, the struggle of finding companies with decent ostomy bag samples are hard. I don't even know which of which from the companies even have a distributors in this country. The ones that contacted me back thru email are: Cymed, Nu-Hope, and Salts, so far. The rest of which were either assisted by relatives abroad in Japan or the US where the distributors are available, or never contacted me back regarding the free sample order. Secondly, I'm broke as you expected.

I've been second guessing that the ones that didn't contact me are already processing my order, I hope so but I won't expect much. My main concern is how long for my fellow ostomates in the Philippines to receive your free sample orders? And which companies did you inquire? Thank you if you'd respond. x

That is so fustrating. The universities that is funded by the state donates abroad range of ostomy supplies to patients with lower incomes but i wouldn't have a single clue for international shipping to the Pacific? Many many best wishing and good & better health to you.

Be well.
