This topic is about someone who has just received a generous shipment of various ostomy supplies and is feeling grateful but a bit overwhelmed about where to start. They are seeking advice on which product to try first and how to use them effectively.
Here are some helpful insights and advice from the community:
1. It's a good idea to experiment with each item in the package to see which ones suit you best. Everyone's needs and preferences can be different, so trying them out is the best way to find your perfect match.
2. If you're looking for practical advice, one member mentioned that Alex T has shared some honest and useful tips about showering with an ostomy. You might want to check out his earlier posts for more detailed guidance.
3. If you're considering sending ostomy supplies across borders, remember that customs paperwork is necessary. This is important for anyone planning to mail products internationally.
4. In Canada, many people with ostomies have to pay for their supplies out of pocket. Sharing unused products can be a big help, especially for those who are sick, older, or not working, as it can ease the financial burden.
