I need measurements of these bags as I don't have any more. I need the measurements of the picture given, width and length when closed. My order of them is coming, but I am wanting ostomy covers. My boyfriend is going to get me some for my birthday. Much appreciated!
Make sure he gets you good custom-fit ones because generic-sized ones just fall off with a little movement or when your bag changes shape from output or air. Personally, I wouldn't waste money on those things again; I haven't worn mine in over 4 years.

Geekyjen,
Thanks for the reply. I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and mention Entyvio. I did not remain paralyzed for more than 2 days, but it was terrible and I was so scared. The doctors just used alot of xanax and other drugs like that to UN paralyze my joints that were being attacked by the remicade. Turns out I have been diagnosed with LUPUS. It is attacking my nervous system. I had ulcerative colitis in 1996 and they had to remove my colon. Had a J pouch for 10 years, until it started failing. I then got a permanent iliosomy, and I suffer from severe chronic diareha, and I dehydrate frequently. I recently had a proctectomy, and that is when the new autoimmune disorder, Lupus, appeared. I have had two hospital stays now because of the blisters and the paralyzing incident. I will be dealing with this forever now. I have just been working on acceptance.
I love this website because of wonderful people like you!

I use Convatec for a urostomy. They have colored opaque pouches, so I don't use a cover for mine. You might look at their website. I use Edgepark Medical for supplies, and they can be helpful. Either source should provide measurements for your pouches.
I agree, the concept is good, but the ones I tried just make things bulkier and fall off!
