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...

Yeah a year ago I wouldn't have known what to ask to find out I had a parastomal hernia. The only reason I knew about them is from this site. Thank goodness for this site. Otherwise I would still be clueless. If I hadn't though from stuff on here to ask my surgeon about having a hernia, then I would have never had the CT and I would have never known that she should have known about it a year ago.

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.
