This topic is all about finding ways to protect your ostomy from accidental injuries. Whether you have an ileostomy, colostomy, or urostomy, it's important to consider how to keep your stoma safe from bumps and knocks. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. Many people have not experienced stoma injuries but are actively looking for protective solutions.

2. One product that comes recommended is the Ostomy Resolutions Guard. It is designed to protect the stoma without affecting the flow. It snaps securely over the barrier opening, which helps keep the appliance in place and reduces the chance of leaks. The company provides a kit with three different sizes, and it's a good idea to call a representative to ensure you get the right fit.

3. When it comes to using a belt with the guard, even though the manufacturer suggests it's not necessary, many users find that a belt helps keep the guard flat. There are both thin and wide belts available, and some people find that wider belts help prevent curling and add comfort.
