Peristomal Skin Wipe Unlike The Rest




Most people with an Colostomy, Ileostomy or Urostomy use some sort of skin protective wipe on their peristomal skin, that is the skin around the stoma. There are several brands out there with the popular ones being Smith & Nephew's Skin Prep Wipes, ConvaTec's Allkare Wipes, or Coloplast's Protective Skin Barrier Wipes.


There are a few new skin wipes on the market that have some new added benefits!




  • Safe n' Simple Ostomy STOMA WIPES are 5.5" x 7.5" in dimension providing a lot of cloth to use on the skin. Packaged in a resealable pouch designed for travel use and the wipes are flushable.


  • StomaCare Wipes are individually packaged. Each wipe is individually soaked in aloe for extra care for healing and treating irritated skin. Wipes are not greasy and like many of the others are easily fitted into a pocket or purse. Unlike the rest though, is the addition of aloe, something that sets this product apart from the rest.

Hernia belts are a popular accessory for many individuals in the ostomy community. They provide abdominal support to prevent herniation or worsening of hernias. Also, these belts provided added support for the ostomy appliance by fitting over the ostomy wafer or skin barrier by covering the peristomal area. There are several options available for people with an ostomy interested in buying a hernia belt. They include the following:
