Anyone with a colostomy also wear a abdominal binder?
I can't find a binder that fits over one. Right now I just cut a hole in the
binder, but it just frays apart real fast.
Plus, the binder moves and can cut into the stoma. I am going to buy a new
binder and just put it on over the stoma and bag and see if it can still work
and drain ok. I don't go much during the day usually.
I just found a binder/belt that has a ring built into it that bag snaps onto.
Made so you don't need to glue/tape a wafer onto the skin. I just worry that
the binder would move just a bit, then anything that comes out goes right under
the binder... messy mess. Plus, it only comes up to 9 inches tall and I use 12.
Good idea though.
I think a binder with a pouch bubble over the stoma area would be good idea.
You just need a binder that does not over lap itself. Or you would have to line
up 2 pouches on the binder. The binder I use now over laps itself, so I had to
cut 2 holes in the binder in that spot.
