Hi folks, I have been donated over 1000 pairs of Comfizz stoma support underwear. I am at a loss as to what I should do with them.

There are men's unisex boxers M/L and L/XL, and ladies' briefs M/L and L/XL. Both styles come in black and white, all new still in their packages, and they are actually very, very comfy (I'm test driving a pair now).

Now, in my opinion, they do not fall under the category of "emergency supplies" that the foundation sends out to folks, so I am really stuck as to what to do with them?

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Needless to say, if anyone wishes a few of these pretty darn excellent underwear, I would be more than happy to send them out to you, although perhaps some arrangement may need to be discussed about postage fees. I will send them worldwide.

You can view the undergarments at http://www.stomawear.uk.com/index.htm

P.S. If you are unable to contact me on this site, you can contact me on www.thelifegoesonfoundation.org.uk

Hi Steve,

I'll vouch for the support pants as comfortable, supportive, and maybe even preventative against hernias. I don't need any because in Australia, ostomates are entitled to six pairs per year. I highly recommend them. Cheers, Julie

Hi Julie, yeah it's the same in the U.K. We get them on prescription also, I'm not sure of how many we are entitled to a year though.

But yeah, they are remarkably comfy actually. I test drove a pair yesterday, and I really like the way they just hug to you, and the high waistband also. Normally I don't go in for things like that, yesterday I was wearing a thin vest (singlet) and a kinda shortish t-shirt. Now normally when I look down I can usually see a wee outline of the top of my pouch and perhaps hear the odd rustle of plastic.

Not with these babies, lol. As soon as I put them on, I thought, yup these are pretty cool lol.

Anyway Julie, take care, chat soon.

Hi. I live in the US. And I am not aware of any ostomy underwear giveaway. I have bought ostomy underwear at the price of 45 bucks. Needless to say, I don't have many. I would be interested in some. Please contact me and we can discuss postage. Thank you. Robbin

Wow, that's excellent. I didn't realize I would shift them so quickly. Okay, I've had a wee check as to exactly what's left in the boxes. So, if they fit your requirements, then by all means, they are yours.



Ladies briefs: White M/L, White L/XL, and Black L/XL



Men's boxers: White L/XL and Black M/L



I will contact you all individually regarding size required, address, etc.



Cheers for helping me clear up space, folks.x

Hi, I think it's great that you have people who are interested in the underwear. I also think that as the underwear can be so expensive, it would be a really good idea if people wanted to send your foundation a small donation. Just a thought. Pippa
