Covers for Large Ostomy Pouches

This topic is about finding suitable covers for large ostomy pouches, specifically for those using the Coloplast SenSura Mio Flex High-Output transparent pouch, which is about 14.5 inches or 37 cm long. The challenge is that standard-size pouch covers are too small, and folding the pouch to fit a regular cover reduces its usable length, which is not ideal. Here are some suggestions and ideas to help:

1. Consider switching to an opaque version of the same high-output Coloplast SenSura Mio (or Mio Click) pouch. This can eliminate the need for a separate cover altogether.

2. Instead of a decorative cover, think about using a support wrap or belt. These can both conceal and provide support for a long high-output pouch.

3. Create your own oversized cover:
- Sewing a custom fabric cover allows you to choose any length and design that suits your needs.
- One person made a durable leather cover for the 14.5-inch pouch. Using leather or other sturdy materials can ensure long-term use, and these covers could potentially be sold to others with similar needs.
