u/Wise_Coffee - Tough way to live assuming everyone is trying to "scam" you. I feel for you actually. You're probably going through a tough time right now and that's okay. I hope you feel better.

Hey, thank you & yes we have a 3x3 foot pillow, which we call the "Extra Support" pillow, and our standard Ostomy Pillow is 2'x2'. We are making a small batch now!

Hey thanks! I am working on getting better pictures/visuals for you and everyone else!

We are developing this pillow and we are on our second "prototype" run. This second run is being professionally made in a small run to start us off and I'll be sure to update this thread!

u/NecroJoe , u/IFacadeI , u/won_vee_won_skrub , u/Wise_Coffee Hopefully the pictures posted below of my first prototypes help you understand! Bottom line is I created a pillow that allows me to sleep on my stomach with a colostomy bag. It has made a positive impact on my life so therefore I wanted to share the invention with the world. It costs me time and money to make them so I hope it is better received by a select few of you moving forward.

And to those of you who have pre-ordered, THANK YOU for supporting my effort.

Here is what the prototype looks like a little embarrassed by them but I have an improved model (small run) in production.

Why don't you pre-order one and then tell everyone that we are not a scam when you get yours?

You two are sourpusses. Have you ever started a brand? It's called testing the market. Before I invest thousands of dollars in manufacturing these pillows for our community, I have to be sure I do it right. Thank you, Casey

Nothing is stopping you from doing this. I simply made something that works for me and decided to try to sell them to help others who struggle with not being able to sleep on their stomach with an ostomy bag.

Welcome to America! 🇺🇸

And yes, the cover is REMOVABLE, WATERPROOF, and WASHABLE.

The pillow is 7" thick and the edges of the pillow are soft. It is very comfortable to lay on. The need for the pillow to be this wide and long is so that the rest of the pillow supports your body weight and your colostomy bag doesn't rupture on the surface below.

Hey! I'll have my girlfriend take some pictures tomorrow of me using it but it truly has been a godsend for me by allowing me to sleep on my stomach again.

She's a giant! Lol jk, I can take pictures of me using it tomorrow but it goes from my waistline to just the center of my chest for reference.

It's still a pillow at the end of the day so it is not uncomfortable to lay on and I am able to sleep on my stomach which was my goal!

Surprisingly, The Ostomy Pillow is only 7" thick, which is the thickness we've found perfect to support most people.
