Cover for Umbilical stoma

Post by jpotts »

I have an umbilical stoma and are having issues finding the right type of "cover" I have been using a Nexcare pad but they are so darn expensive. I have ordered AMpatches but they don't work for me since I have nothing sticking out to put the hole over, it is just hit or miss if the seepage/urine hits the hole as it oozes (sorry if this sounds gross). My doc suggested maybe eye patches but I am at a loss. HELP :shock:

Some people have had luck using nursing pads. They are circular and certainly large enough to cover your bellybutton area. They are also very absorbant! Good luck. Judith

The AMPatch covers work great for me - I have a Kock Pouch.
