Warm weather and sunscreen can affect your adhesive.

Here are some tips & tricks for good adhesion:

Warm Climate: If the climate is warm enough to make you perspire more than usual, the barrier might lose adhesion and you may need to change your pouch more frequently. Make sure your skin is completely dry before you apply a new barrier for good adhesion.

Sun lotion: Apply sunscreen after you put on your barrier, as the lotion could affect the baseplate and make it harder to stick.

Storage: We recommend that your supplies are stored in a cool place – do not leave your ostomy products.

We remind ourselves that every single product we ship finds its way to a real person somewhere in the world. A person with a story. Like Stina.

Stina is a blogger, influencer and speaker, and she loves clothes, a lot. After battling Crohn’s disease, for most of her life, she became extremely ill at the age of 23 and underwent an ostomy operation. While this put an end to much suffering, it also created a new worry – could she still wear what she wanted?

The answer, she discovered, was definitely yes.

We helped to make life easier for Stina and other people with intimate healthcare needs.

“My bladder was wearing me down, and after peeing the bed one too many times, I reluctantly agreed to finally give catheters a go. It didn’t take me long to get used to using them. It didn’t hurt, and that helped. When the nurse came to train me, I was surprised to remember what it felt like to have a truly empty bladder. Before I knew it, using a catheter was as easy as using a tampon, and just as discreet.”
