Where to Find Affordable Brave Protective Seals and Moldable Rings?

This topic is about finding affordable Brava Protective Seals and Moldable Rings for someone who doesn't have insurance or income. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights for sourcing these supplies at a lower cost:

1. Online Resale Sites
- eBay often has listings for Coloplast Brava seals and rings at very low prices. Many of these items are near or past their expiration date, but users have found that this doesn't affect how well they work.
- The Poshmark app sometimes offers ostomy supplies, including Brava items, at reduced prices.
- Some people have found Amazon orders to be less reliable compared to eBay or Poshmark.

2. Discount and Nonprofit Suppliers
- Ostogroup in Florida sells ostomy supplies at significantly reduced costs. It's worth checking their website or giving them a call to see what they have in stock.

3. Government Assistance
- If you have no income, apply for Medicaid right away, as it can cover ostomy supplies and medical care.
- Keep pursuing Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income. It's common to face multiple denials, but persistence is key. An attorney usually gets involved after the second denial, and some people have received benefits on their third attempt. The process can take up to two years, but approval can eventually provide income and coverage for supplies.

4. Community Resource Sharing
- Fellow ostomates often have extra supplies. Some members have offered to send the poster extra Brava products. Reaching out within support groups can lead to receiving free supplies.

5. Alternative Products
- Sure Seal Rings from Active Lifestyle Products have been recommended by a user who experienced less skin irritation after switching. These might be a cost-effective alternative if Brava items are not available.
