Is the Stoma Cup Available in Australia?

Topic Explanation
The discussion in the forum revolves around the availability and use of a stoma cup in Australia. The original poster has an ileostomy and is looking for a stoma cup to assist with quick changes after showers. They express a desire to find this product locally and mention consulting with their stoma nurses.

Advice and Helpful Insights from Replies
1. Availability and Contact Information:
- The stoma cup is available in the US and can be purchased from websites like www.cmostomysupply.com and www.rcscompany.com. The latter is noted as the inventor's company, and he is described as friendly and helpful, potentially able to assist with international shipping inquiries.

2. Product Suitability:
- It is important to note that the stoma cup discussed might be specifically designed for colostomies, not ileostomies. This distinction is crucial for the original poster to consider, as they have an ileostomy.

3. Alternative Products:
- For colostomy patients who can irrigate, the stoma cap is mentioned as an alternative. It acts like a round bandaid covering the stoma, suitable for those who can and want to irrigate. It is available from companies like Hollister, but insurance coverage might depend on medical necessity as prescribed by a doctor.

4. International Ordering:
- A stoma cap can also be ordered from the UK from White Rose Collection Ltd, with their website provided (www.whiterosecollection.co.uk). This product is useful for showering and is kept in place by a stoma belt, which might be an alternative solution for the original poster to consider if the stoma cup is not suitable.
