My stoma was getting tender from constant rubbing or bumping against stuff as it is just below the sternum in the front and has a hernia also I kept trying to find something for the last 2 years that supported pouch and protects the stoma the guard was just what I needed but would be nice if could purchase extra belts for when wash one and to have to prevent constant changing to the size needed for to outfit of the day
The product does what is was made for. It does a good job of containing my prolapse all day long. It is easy to adjust the tension on the elastic belt.
The shield does the trick to let you be active and discreetly hides under your clothing even with my thin build. The choice of three sizes with multiple pad thickness included in the kit allows for a custom fit. I discovered wearing it over my boxer shorts due to sensitive skin worked best with the smallest shield.
I can finally wear a tucked in shirt and pants with a belt. Stoma is protected. I just have to get pants a size larger.
After a month of using it, I'm still trying to get the right size to wear for all occasions; going out, sitting at home, lying in bed. When it works, it is great. Consider it a work in progress...
I am so glad I found this product. I’m able to wear clothes with waist bands and seat belts without discomfort. I haven’t tried stomach sleeping yet, but as I get more comfortable in the guard, that tops my bucket list.
I wish that the 1st one I purchased came with all three. I liked my stoma guard (the small one). Getting all three lets me see how see which one does better. It turned out to be the middle one for ever day work in the field I'm in.
Since I've started wearing my stoma guard I feel more confident while carrying items and while sleeping.
Great choice in my opinion.
Stomasheild working great. Been using the shield with my stoma wrap without the belt works great. Easy removal to change out if I need to protect the bag. Thanks
I like the comfort & safety feel of the StomaShield when I'm driving or sitting. Works very well, I'm still figuring out whether the large or medium is the best fit to meet my needs. Very pleased with this purchase. Thanks.
The Stoma protector is an ingenuous but simple to use invention. Brings piece of mind to know you’re well protected from injury while performing daily activities.
Gives my husband the extra protection he needs especially when the dogs run and jump on him !
I can wear my shirt tucked into my trousers while wearing the StomaShield. It is a great device. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I have the confidence to resume former activities with the StomaShield.
Major improvement in the 'balloon' management.
Stoma Shield is working well for me over all. The fact they send 3 different sizes you are assured you will be able to put together a size that will work for you. No need to measure and send measurements and wait for them to create the product and finally get it to you. Stoma Shield is a winner.
The stoma shield is a well-made, easy to use, and comfortable solution to protect against belt line chafing and vehicle seatbelt use. I wear mine regularly. It effectively protects the stoma and the bag from harm. It's a must-have solution for active people.
I'm very happy with the shield. Just today, I used it for climbing for the first time and my ostomy felt secure and comfortable all the time. But what I actually LOVE it for is the fact that I can wear trousers which I hadn't been able to do without the shield. I can finally tuck my shirts in and feel more attractive. It's a small thing but one has to figure out their life with an ostomy and make the best of it, right? I have to admit, the product is quite expensive, but it's a worthy investment and the shield - how it works with all different sizes and adjustable pads - really is unique. Thank you for your product & warm greetings from Germany!
This was a gift to my neighbor. With all sizes in a single delivery, I was sure to get the size he needed without guessing. The instructions and included pamphlets made fitting the StomaGear easy and comfortable. It’s awesome to see innovation take the front seat in comfort, design and convenience. My neighbor was so happy to receive the gear and mostly happy that he can now comfortably ride in a car with the seatbelt properly fastened. Thank you StomaGear.
I ordered this thinking it would just be something to help give me peace of mind, but I find myself sleeping with it on now because it allows me to lay on my stomach comfortably again!! Definitely recommended for anyone with a stoma!! 100% worth it
