You and your channel have been so helpful with information. Me having a Ileostomy for just about a year, I've learned so much just watching and listening to your videos. Just wanted to say Thank You.
Amazing Video Maggie! your review of all three products was fantastic. Adhesion is SO important. If the appliance does not stick .. NOTHING else matters until that can be resolved. Hurray for Adhesive Options!!!
OMG Maggie I actually laughed when you were talking about using the lubricant for sledding. My mind went straight to National lampoons Christmas vacation when clark used that spray on his sled and went fast enough to burn a hole through the sled. 🤣🤣🤣
From a medical or gift giving point of view, there is no reason for me to watch this but I love channel and the videos because of Maggie’s personality and sense of humour (like using the lube for sledding 😂), and being curious about medical things. PS the ending did end up being relevant to me as a marketing and design student lol
I was so hopeful because I loved Revels branding, but I hated the samples I tried. I have an ileostomy, but usually my output is on the thicker side, and Revels product is just wayyy to oily/greasy for me. It made clean-up really messy during my empties. The deodorizer didn't work for me either, but everyones chemistry is different, so I can't fault them for that. I hope they plan to come out with additional formulas and products as they grow!
I really need to try out that Revel brand. I need a better lubricant. Using name brand but it is more watery then lubricant and I do tend to get pancaking frequently. It looks like it might do the job. Thanks for showing the new stoma guard. I was thinking about getting the one you had before just because my little Terrier tends to want to put his paw where my stoma is and have to rush to put the hand over it. I kind of like the look of this new one. Thank you for showing the new products.
Thanks for sharing these products. I have been thinking about a stoma guard and wondered how yours was actually working for you. Now I know - you lost it. 😆 I hope the new one works for you. It looks nice and sturdy. 💜
Thanks so much! I totally agree that the products you featured have much more friendly packaging. Love the stuff you shared and am going to be checking some of it out.
Are ostomy adhesives any good for sticking light dressings on other skin wounds . My mum is very allergic to micropore tape and we keep having to dress a sore leg .Any advice would be so very welcome 😊
In addition to ostomy care, Medical adhesive sprays are frequently leveraged in both wound care and prosthetic applications, like a border dressing, negative pressure, wound therapy drape, or a mastectomy breast form or prosthetic fingers. They are pressure sensitive in nature, and will add or increase adhesive to anything they are applied to.☺️
New subscriber and new to my osteomy.does the deodorizer go in the bottom of the bag or the top of you have a drainable bag and is it safe to get on the stoma?
@LetsTalkIBD still cracks me up either way. "Hey... Wanna go faster? No problem... Borrow my ostomy adhesive!" Kool trick to show/share with kids so they aren't scared of it and understand it!
Maggie I'm wondering if you've ever had issues with prolapse. I'm dealing with this on a daily basis. My proctocolectomy is coming in January or February. Diagnosed with Crohn's at 8. 3 resections 8, 13, 18. Left with 8" of colon. Ileostomy at 69. It's not been fun so far. Hopefully gets better after next surgery.
The only deodorant I have found that works is safe and simple. I also buy a lubricant. Would you say the Revel works as well as Safe and Simple? Thanks!!!
Hi Maggie. Could you do something about adhesive remover. My niece is type 1 diabetic and she is frustrated by her monitor thingy sorry I hopeless. I think it would be useful for her to know about other products available. Many thanks ❤
I've started using Convatec convex wafers based on your recommendation, and think they are great. Now if you could convince them to start making closed end pouches for them WITHOUT filters, I'd be thrilled. The damn things leak, and they don't eliminate odors. Yes, you can cover the filter, but this doesn't always work. if you have any influence with them, please help!
I use closed bags, and finding a closed bag with a filter was my holy grail (I use hollister). I change more than once a day usually, so the filters don’t often get leaky until I’m about to change anyway.
I have to assume yes - I'm fairly certain they'd have to test this prior to launching because it would inevitably come in contact with the stoma at some point! This is only an assumption though and would need to be checked directly with the company!
I need an ileostomy pouch! There is leakage from the draining spout. I use M9 and I’m getting infections. So I need to wear a pouch but haven’t found a nice/good one. Any recommendations?
That's actually why I prefer non-drainables and emptying through their ring! I had the same problem with leaking, even after thorough cleaning. I didn't seem to have too much of an issue with Convatec's Esteem bag or Coloplast's Sensura mio!

I love that you are so real. I am interested in trying a product or two! Thank you, Maggie
The "going sledding" got me! lol.

Only you would metaphorical compare 💩 and snow 😆 kinda love it if I'm being honest 😆
Hahaha I meant it as putting the lubricant on the bottom of your sled, like some put oil to sled faster!

Hi ya all. I'm going through alot of itching and its mainly where the adhesive flange on my skin. What is good to stop this.
Was very interested in the Revel lubricant. I went on their site & requested a sample. Sadly, it doesn't look like they ship out of the USA 😢
They are quite new so fingers crossed this will be available to you soon!!
The only deodorant I have found that works is safe and simple. I also buy a lubricant. Would you say the Revel works as well as Safe and Simple? Thanks!!!

I've been trying LOL I wish the same thing!! I have mentioned before but will keep trying!

Maggie, can these lubricants and deodorizer actually have contact with your stoma? I always add to the bottom of the bag because Im not sure.
I have to assume yes - I'm fairly certain they'd have to test this prior to launching because it would inevitably come in contact with the stoma at some point! This is only an assumption though and would need to be checked directly with the company!
@LetsTalkIBD Thank you!
Post ileostomy how long it took for you to gain weight
Does that pillow create optical illusions in person? From here it looks like there are big holes all the way through it. 🤔
Right I agree medical stuff is usually bland I could see some one thinking your useing hair spray bc of the color of the bottle😂
Stealth Belt seems to be recovering. I just got an order delivered that I put in a month ago. So about twice as long as they originally indicated.
That's great news! I'm so glad you were able to get your belt - I've heard only good things about their product.
My biggest issue is my bag always sounding like it's s diaper. Any suggestions?
