Travel Tips

A little pre-planning and understanding of both security rules and your right to privacy can help you enjoy your travels and avoid problems.

Physical Activity

Do you love to play tennis or golf? Think there’s nothing better than jogging, yoga or going for a swim? That’s great! Living with an ostomy should not prevent you from enjoying the activities you enjoyed before surgery.

;

Intimacy

While it's normal to feel insecure about how your ostomy changes your body, intimate encounters can be a part of your life.

;

Recovery

The me+ recovery series is based-on gentle movements - guiding users through their recovery after ostomy surgery and beyond.

Nutritional Advice

Living with an ostomy should not stand in the way of enjoying good food.

Skin Care Tips

Having a peristomal (around the stoma) skin complication is one of the most common reasons people living with a stoma seek medical attention. Urine and feces can be irritating to the skin. That’s why the right skin barrier or adhesive is essential in preventing peristomal skin damage.
