Hi gang,

Just wondering. If you've looked on AliExpress, you can find a whole plethora of ostomy products made (cheaply) in China. Just wondering if anyone has been brave enough to check them out. I'm thinking about trying the one in this link, since I can get it through Walmart! Shame on you, Walmart! But there's tons of other ostomy products if you go to AliExpress and hunt around. If you've tried any of this stuff, I'd love to hear your feedback.

;O)

First, the pieces that I ordered online were made in China. I got 30 of them for a very low price. I tried two of them, and each one lasted less than an hour. I sent them back the next day to Amazon. I've been with Hollister ever since. Buy cheap, get cheap, as the expression goes!

Every morning when I enjoy my big cup of coffee I scroll through this site and this warm feeling just overwhelms me.

I never post anything (too shy and it feels like I don’t have anything of interest to share tbh) but I sure read a lot of posts from you guys and they are so informative, supportive encouraging and so so full of love and a big dose of humor.

I feel like part of the best family in the world (even though I am just sitting quietly in the corner lol).

I just wanted to share that feeling and say thanks to all of you for being so wonderful.

And also, please keep some fingers crossed for me this week. I have my blood test on Thursday, checking my CA 125 levels. Ovarian cancer reoccurrence fear unlocked again. I hate it!

Lots of love from Sweden

Only for a few of these for training etc, I wouldn't go near any stoma gear.

Bob, I showed you once how to make that. I called it the Shower Cap, look it up

. Just put a bag on it instead of a cap.

Trying to save a dollar can be very expensive.
