I have had my ileostomy for just over 3 years now and the only thing that I don't like about it is that the color of the bags is either creamy beige or clear.
They get really dirty-looking and horrible. I know this might sound daft, but is it possible to get colored bags like pinks and purples or even blues?
I know it's not like anyone sees it but you, but I would love to put on a bag that's pink one day and then a lovely sky blue the next time it's changed. It's not like anyone can see the bag under your clothes, so does that mean it isn't worth being made in any other color than dull beige? I think it would give people a little boost, maybe, it would for me, I know that.
Is there anyone else that feels like this too?
