I had to go on to Crohn's zone today as I have discovered THE perfect trousers for ostomates like me. I had an emergency ileostomy and my surgeon decided I was obviously not the sort of person who ever wore trousers, skirts or anything with a waist line and wouldn't it be convenient to put MY stoma on it instead - oof. I threw away and gave away 30 pairs of trousers, many skirts and disposed of some lovely real knickers and set about trying to find something I could wear besides dresses. I tried White Rose (recommended by all the usual ostomy sites but who can afford those prices? I bought some from American Apparell but they are still a bit pricey. Anyway, by chance I found www.novamio.com - All their clothes are soft and floaty and elastic waist and really fit comfortably and the best bit is their sale is on right now and trousers are £4.00 each (bllack, blue, red, pink etc. (normally £6) and I found a lovely skirt for £1.50 - you can't go wrong plus they send you all goodies packed in tissues in an eco-resuable bag. They have been so kind and send me alerts when things are on offer. They do have some pricey stuff but it ius wonderful. but check them out. I feel feminine again!
