Well here in Calif you could go to San Francisco and get by with that purse..lol Try a camera case or possibly cell phone case. Between the two you should get one to suit you.
Good Luck

I bought a thing they call the "Leg Lugger" from Austin Medical Supply for about 25 bucks. It straps to your lower leg and has compartments for your supplies. I got used to it right away and at times I couldn't tell that I was waring it. Of course it would look a little funny if you wore it with short pants.

After my last surgery Sept.2008/ Hollister sent me a sample welcome package. Which included a camaera style bag (attaches to belt). Inside the bag is a mirror, scissors and various small compartments.
Thanks and Take Care

You could always call the people at hollister or coloplast and ask what they have...I also got a bag from Hollister which is too big to strap to your leg but very useful when travelling.
What about those money belts people use when travelling...they would just be big enough I think....have a look in the luggage dept and see what you can see....if in desperate need and you cannot find anything..tie a soft belt roundyour middle and attach a pouch to it, maybe someone you know who can sew well could make you one.

I have a Maxpedition Lunada Gear Slinger, it only has one strap that goes across the chest. I carry all my stuff in it, love it. You can check them out at www.maxpedition.com.
