Irrigation Cap or Plug for Stoma Covering

Good morning everyone,

Quick question, does anyone use something very small to cover their stoma? I'm currently irrigating and using a small bag, but I want to try something smaller, whatever that may be! (The irrigation works well, and I get zero output, so a collection area is not needed).

I've called a few suppliers, but to no avail, although it does seem there was something available on the market a few years ago; details are sketchy. So I'm thinking either a very small patch or cap type of covering?

Anyway, just thought I would ask; any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks everyone

Paul

Good morning 🌞

I remember this question being asked before. You can type “stoma cap” into the search bar and find replies to other posts about this topic. Seems like I recall someone stating Amazon had some options. Good luck!

Hello Paul.

If it's of any help, since Coloplast stopped their stoma plug, I now use Dansac Nova mini Cap. Ref:829.20  20-50mm.

On the box it says that Hollister is responsible. However, I get my supplies through Coloplast Charter.
Best wishes

Thank you, I did what you said and got lots of info!

Thanks Bill,

I'm looking at getting some mini caps ASAP!

Best

Good! I have found that search bar to be very helpful 😊

AMPatch has a heavy-duty stoma cover. It's like a thick, absorbent band-aid made for stomas. Personally, I am unable to wear them. I did try one out for a short period of time, and I loved it. The company will send out samples.

I just ordered samples! Thank you so much.

You could look into stoma caps from Coloplast or Hollister — they're made for people who irrigate and don't need a bag. They're much smaller and discreet, almost flat under clothing. Some users also prefer vented plugs for extra comfort.

I absolutely love the silicone nipple covers. I like the thin, matte ones better than thicker, jelly-like covers. Available in lots of skin tones, sizes, perforated, non-perforated, and more. The first time I used one (before I got the tattoo), it felt/looked like my stoma had disappeared. This was a strange sensation. The first pictures are from AliExpress. The last picture is me with a very small nipple cover (for men). Not just for irrigators, but also during short times if a colostoma is (somewhat) predictable.
