This topic is about a person who recently started using ostomy irrigation and is happy with the results. However, they are facing challenges in purchasing the Braun Iry Pump and the Iryfix ostomy plug in the United States. They are seeking advice on how to order these products from countries where they are available.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. **Contact Manufacturers Directly**:
- For Braun products, you can visit their website at www.bbraun.co.uk or contact them by phone at +44 114 225 9000.
- For Coloplast products, it is recommended to call them before traveling, as they often ship products to holiday destinations in Europe.

2. **Availability in Europe**:
- The Coloplast 1445 Conceal Plug is widely available in Europe. In the UK, it can be purchased over the counter, but it cannot be shipped to the U.S. due to import regulations.

3. **Purchasing in France**:
- You can visit www.coloplast.fr or call Coloplast France at +33 800 015 868, though the line is in French.

4. **Travel Plans**:
- If you are traveling to Italy and France, you can buy these devices out-of-pocket and bring them back with you. It is believed that carrying these appliances through airport security should not pose a problem.

5. **Customs Considerations**:
- Be prepared to explain the medical nature of these supplies at U.S. customs, as import regulations may be a barrier.

6. **DIY Option**:
- One member has successfully built a homemade irrigation pump that works well and is more affordable than the Braun model. They have shared a review of Braun’s previous Iry Pump on their blog for reference.

7. **Availability in North America**:
- There is no indication that Braun or Coloplast plan to release these specific products in the U.S. or Canada, suggesting that access in North America is limited. Travelers may need to purchase them abroad and bring them home.
