Good day,
I am interested in purchasing an Ostomy Noise Reducer, but I don't know which one to choose. I will appreciate any information from someone who actually uses one.
Thank you.

Hi,
I recently bought a Stealth Belt, which looks really good. The material feels comfortable and there's a convenient zipped compartment to easily access your bag. Unfortunately, I haven't got to test it yet as I'm waiting for my operation but tried loads of different belts when I had my temporary stoma and this one looks superior to them all, and it also comes with a muffler to stop noise. I'm beginning to sound like a Stealth Belt salesman :) but it's worth checking out anyway.
Best of luck,

Hi Crossley. Ya know, I think it’s all about feelings. I don’t mean the pain feelings which could control everything. I mean the feelings inside our heads, our hearts and even our souls. I mean the feelings of who we are now compared to who we were; how we accept our situation or maybe we don’t. My wife asked how I felt and I said, “like crap”. She asked what hurt and I answered, “Nothing hurts, well, everything hurts, I don’t know, It all sucks.” That was a long time ago. You question if your feelings are normal. How normal is it to relocate your butt hole to your belly where it’s usually in the way of your belt and, you know. But that’s where we are and for lots of us we are so much better off than we were before, physically. Emotionally, psychologically, well, that might be a different story. I believe talk therapy is wonderful if we could find a real empathic or sympathetic listener. So guess what! I found MAO and began “talking” with a keyboard with some of the wisest, kindest most sympathetic and compassionate folks on the planet. Regardless of where we’ve been, lots of folks here have been there and worse places and found their way back healthier and happier. We really do help each other.
Keep “talking”,
Mike

Hi Nathan 123
Thank you for the information. It sounds just like what I have been looking for; I will surely check it out.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Hi Pink,
Did you find the noise reducer you're looking for? Which product did you discover? There are so many out there that it seems difficult to decide which one would be right for each of us. Nathan surely sounds pleased with the one he has found.
I've been researching an ostomy cover/protector because I lift a lot of boxes and sometimes squeeze between pallets of freight at my job. I'm just looking for something to protect my ostomy from any pressure.
I am leaning toward http://www.ostomyresolutions.com/#!productdetail/ci1q. The price is reasonable and I hope to put a call in to them to be sure I select the right size.
