I have lots of unopened new products that I can't use and can't return.
Any advice on what to do with the items?

Lots due to different sizes of products after my surgery.
Is selling it an option?

I did also... The best thing is to find your "local" Ostomy Support Group and donate... that is all...

Ostomy211.org takes donations

Find local ostomy groups at uoaa.org

This group has been my go-to during my loneliest hours whenever I've had a "bag blowout" at 3am and there was no one else in the world to talk to.

Because it's a global community, there's always someone here to lend an ear, provide advice, and just hold my hand if that's all I need.

Sure, there's also a lot of camaraderie, fun topics, and laughs, but the main reason I come here is for the total acceptance I get from the members. No one else on the planet could possibly "get" what I'm going through, not even my loving husband or supportive family.

The "Meet an Ostomate" forum is definitely a one-of-a-kind family, which I am very proud to belong to.

I donate mine to my local hospital.

Agree with Beach Boy. Local hospital or homeless shelter are good ones. Your surgeon's office as well.

I donated the supplies I could not use to my ostomy nurse.
