Hi Folks,
How of you folks with an Ileostomy and or colostomy or even an urostomy have actually injured your ostomy? And how did you injure it? Was it by a seat belt in the car? Or running into something? And how many use any type of ostomy cover? I have a somta plex cover and do use it from time to time. But never use anyhting to cover my stoma other than my pants and of course my bag. Just curious. Thanks
Hello Charleston guy,
I haven't injuried my stoma as of yet and sure hope none of us ever due. I have been considering a guard but haven't put forth the money as of yet. This is a link of the one I am considering,:http://www.ostomyresolutions.com/#!productdetail/ci1q

Hello fellow ostomates, my life has changed since I met this wonderful French Canadian lady on this site on 3-17-2013. We were married on 12-20-2014 in Phoenix, AZ.
Mrs. A......I have the ostomy resolutions guard and do reommend it. It protects the stoma without blocking flow. I fits tightly over the barrier opening, helping to keep things in place while helping to prevent leaks. You will need a belt to hold it in place.
Thank you Ba for you reply. Was it easy for you to get the right size? I know they will send three sizes and I hope I get the right one. I intend on calling and talking to a rep to be sure. Now the belt, I would rather not wear on, and their site says you don't need one, but where did you purchase yours and does it stay flat against your body or does it tend to curl? Would you recommed a wider belt or just the thin one I have seen on different sites.
