Which Stoma Bag Is Best For You? Take Advice From Those In The Know - Other Ostomates

May 21, 2013 - PRLog -- LONDON, England - May, 2013. The Freestyle Vie Flushable colostomy bag from CliniMed is an innovation. Made from 100% recyclable and lightweight material, this pouch can be disposed of down any lavatory. Making your life that little bit easier, this flushable design is discreet and liberating. Living with a colostomy and having to decide which bag is best for you can be daunting; with a variety of different brands and types available how do you know which one suits your needs and lifestyle? As well as talking to health professionals and doing your research, why not listen to other ostomates who have experienced the Freestyle Vie Flushable pouch themselves? Helping you make an informed decision, their testimonials are invaluable.

What makes this particular pouch so appealing is that it is flushable, allowing you to use any toilet facilities anywhere, anytime. Some patients don't feel comfortable discussing their colostomy or drawing unnecessary attention to it, and the beauty of this pouch is that you don't have to; you can continue your life as normally as possible. One patient testifies to this and says, "‘I feel so much happier and more confident when going out, as I no longer have to worry about finding somewhere to dispose of the pouch. Being able to flush my waste straight down the toilet makes me feel more normal, as I don’t need to handle any of my own mess. I just wish someone had shown me these earlier."

That this pouch can be disposed of in this way is truly unique but it is not the only reason why the pouch is revolutionary. In addition, the Freestyle Vie Flushable is soft, secure, clean and comfortable. Made from a delicate yet strong material, this fast drying pouch is gentle on the skin and stays firmly in place thanks to its extra adhesion positions. What's more, it uses Dual-Carb® filter technology for unsurpassed odour elimination. One patient was so impressed with the new pouch that they said "there is no way now that I would go back to my old pouches as these are much cleaner and more hygienic to use."

Technology is always changing and there have been recent exciting developments in stoma care, but it is still not always easy when deciding to take a big leap and try something new. The same patient who was so impressed with the Freestyle Vie Flushable (above) admitted that, at first, " I was still a bit worried so I hung on to my other pouches, just in case," however, "once I got used to using them, I found out they were a lot cleaner and simpler to change."

Endorsed by real ostomates, the Freestyle Vie Flushable has left patients pleased and happy that they made the change. CliniMed offer free samples of this pouch so there is no need to commit yourself until you are sure that it is the bag for you. So with that in mind, what have you got to lose? Sample this new pouch and begin your journey to more liberated stoma care today.
