and Iggie's letter (might be too small to read, but it's on page 7 of the issue):

Dear Everyone 😊🙏🏻☮️❤️👼😊🌈☀️🌹🤗👩🏻☀️
Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
I think it's great when people help each other and who is helpful in different ways! I appreciate anything advice etc... Thank you all and very happy this site is here ! I hope you have a good day/night! I'm trying to figure out how to take care of me more then I used to as I think of others more then myself! I'm hoping your all having a great summer!

Don't leave home without it.

The IGGIE clip works well while vacationing. Out on a long beach safari tour, I peek at my colostomy bag. Oops... getting kind of full. But never fear... the IGGIE clip is here.

Using a support belt and IGGIE clip..... I've had some huge bags... that remained... watertight. Much to the relief of a concerned Mrs. B.

Thanks, IGGIE.

Thanks BB,

It would be nice if one of the big companies could make a more cosmetic-looking IGGIE CLIP for everyone to use. But it has to keep the name IGGIE CLIP; I am not looking for money, just the idea that people are happy and their bag secure.

Thanks, mate IGGIE
