When it comes to finding the right stoma bag, comfort, confidence and skin health make all the difference. Oakmed Ambassador Ed recently tried our new black bag range, and he couldn’t wait to share his thoughts on the look, feel and performance.
What were your first thoughts when you tried the new black bags?
Honestly, love the colour! They look really stylish and the quality feels amazing. The outside has a really high-end feel, and it was super easy to cut to my size. From the very first try, they just felt like the bags I should have been using all along.
How do they feel to wear day-to-day?
They’re so comfy! Even from the first wear, they felt great. The baseplate feels lovely against my skin, really different from my previous ones. It’s much kinder and I’ve noticed a big difference… no more itching!
Did you have any issues when first trying them out?
The very first one I used did leak, but I’m sure that was user error. I probably didn’t cut it perfectly. Since then, I’ve had no leaks at all, and they’ve been spot-on for daily use.
Who would you recommend the black bags to?
Honestly, everyone! They’re stylish, practical, and have really helped reduce my skin irritation. I think it’s great for new ostomates too, it’s something different from the usual beige or clear options.
What would you say to anyone considering switching?
Do it!! They’re super comfy, they look amazing, and they honestly feel like your new fashion item!
