Looking to see how others manage, in particular the kit that they use.

Johnny -
I have used Coloplast for the last 10 years, upgrading as new products are available. The product codes may differ in the UK, but the description should help. I make a one-piece ahead of time as both the barrier and pouch are adhesive. I also use the Coloplast Night Bag, and it works well - I have some tips on keeping it fresh if you are interested.
Best,
Bryce

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Depends on the sport you are intending to do; a stoma guard is the best and safest option for contact sports and can be used with any make of bags. There's no sport that you can't do. You will see C.A.... The UK Colostomy Association has their own rugby team, just to give you an idea of the things we can do with a stoma.
