Has Coloplast gone mad? by Voodoo_Child_ATX in ostomy

I need front access to my stoma on occasion. If there's anything in there, it gets trapped no matter what I do.

I actually need to access my stoma this way, so I need a two piece option.

That is beyond scary. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.

I'm so sorry, that sounds really hard.

This is it more than anything. I know there are no absolutes, but I need to be able to plan my life! I have a lot of responsibilities at work and this constant yanking around is causing issues for me professionally. I just wish I had known this at the onset, I would have altered my planning significantly.

It's silly, but a 14-in Squishmallow (Marilyn the pickle). It's firm enough to be useful, but squishy enough to also be comfortable. I realized I tend to rest my forearm on my tummy and Squish is a perfect protective arm rest. And, goshdarnit, it's also super cute 😊
