Basic Ostomy Care – I mention a lot of different products in this video so check it out!!
(Hollister New Image clear bags 18003, opaque bags 18113, mini clear 18293, opaque mini 18283, and opaque closed 18753 – Hollister wafers 14603 and convex 14803) PS: I should also note that a major product I left out by accident, because I don’t use it, is stoma paste. This paste (I used Hollister’s Adapt paste) can help seal your wafer on your stomach, help protect against leaks, and help your wafer last longer.

Ostomy Lingerie!
“Vanilla Blush
I first heard about Vanilla Blush 
This non-profit group sales t-shirts and sweatshirts that aim to raise IBD awareness. If they get enough orders for their “Ask Me about My Colitis/Crohn’s” shirts, they’ll begin making “Ask Me about My Ostomy” shirts too!! Here are a few pics of my favorite shirt from them so far. It’s a size small and it’s perfect – not too big or bulky!!

Hi Charis-
I came across your site the other day. I am 5 weeks out from colo surgery. I am a “double bagger” as I’ve had a urostomy since 2007.
Although I’ve known about ostomies for awhile, GI diversions are different and your site has been awesome. I hope that I’ll be able to wear one of the “ask me about my ostomy” sweatshirts one day. Even though it is new, the colo is already helping with chronic diahrrea and constipation.
Do you know where to find samples of niltac or find it for a reasonable price. I’ve had no luck on ebay or amazon. Thanks again for sharing yourbstory.
Spray or wipes? Advantages to either over the other? Several x/wk . . . wow. How often do you change your appliance? Ever use Osto EZ-Vents? Would like to try them. Lotsa questions!
I use the spray to take the wafers off. I like the wipes for removing excess adhesive residue. Since I started using the eakin barrier rings, I’m back to changing 5-6 days (well, that’s if things continue doing well like they have this week). I have some samples of the osto vents but haven’t tried them because I rarely have gas. I know Heidi uses them (or at least used to). You should write them and ask for a sample!
Thank you for the review, Charis. I’ve been using Niltac and Silesse for 3 weeks now after seeing your video. You definitely pointed me in the right direction–due to these TRIO products, I have my changes down to about 10 minutes, my skin is healthy again, and my appliances last a week. Truly appreciate all your help! Keep on keeping on . . .
I’m glad it helped! I use the TRIO Niltac several times a week now and it’s amazing stuff!
