Best Stoma Protection Devices for Active Lifestyles

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about finding the best stoma protection devices for active lifestyles. The original poster is seeking advice on products that can provide protection for their stoma while engaging in various activities, as they use a one-piece ostomy bag for their ileostomy.

Advice and Insights:
- Stoma Plex offers a stoma guard that provides protection for the stoma, especially for activities like work. It may not be the most comfortable, but it offers the needed protection (Reply 4).
- Many users emphasize the resilience of stomas and encourage the original poster to continue with their activities without fear of harming the stoma (Reply 2, 5, 6, 16).
- Prioritizing skin care is crucial, as maintaining skin protection can prevent issues caused by leaks onto the skin (Reply 10, 12).
- Some users share their personal experiences of being highly active with an ostomy, engaging in activities like horseback riding, swimming, and more, without significant issues (Reply 5, 16).
- The consensus is to focus on enjoying life and not letting the stoma hinder activities, while also taking necessary precautions for skin care (Reply 10, 16).
- One user recommends using protective wipes with lavender for soothing skin care (Reply 12).
- Another user shares their positive experience with Stoma Plex and reassures the original poster that the stoma guard can work with a single-piece bag setup (Reply 14).
- A user with extensive experience in physically demanding activities, including military service, shares their successful and active lifestyle with an ostomy, without major issues (Reply 16, 18).
