Great video Eric! I’ve been checking out different wraps, my colostomy is only 2 weeks so still a newby. However in the meantime, I dug out 2 old tshirts that are too small. I cut straight across, armpit to armpit, cutting the sleeves and collar off. Instant wrap! It’s long enough that I can fold & tuck the bottom of the wrap and put the end of my bag into the bottom. It would be super easy to just sew that pouch as well. This wrap hack has worked beautifully!
Awesome improvisation! Great idea.
Wonderful review! I use my Awestomy wrap every time I walk out of the house. It's one of the must haves!
Great review. I appreciate you showing how it was designed to be used and describing how you use it. I have had my ileostomy for 13 years and just now looking at a different solution for swimming and what not so these reviews help a lot!!
Thank you, but unfortunately, I don't believe Awestomy is around anymore ☹
Thank you for the demo, it is very helpful. It looks comfortable. At first, my Stoma Nurse insisted on wraps that are a real struggle to put on. I can now use those in the bath. I am now going over to Awestomy to shop for something supportive but pretty & comfy.
This is brill and thank you. My partner is due for bladder removal any day now and is dreading the stoma and bag showing but now iv'e seen this video i can now say look at this !
I wish your partner the best of luck! And thanks for watching :)
You're awesome! Thanks for the video, never thought of getting a wrap before! Considering it now. =)
Thanks for all the videos. I am just now coming across them. Very usefull.
Glad you like them!
All your videos have been really helpful :) thank you
Thanks for watching =)
As a woman who wears tighter clothing I wear a wrap but I put my pants over it so I can still wear my same clothes I had before my ostomy. Thanks for another great video!
Great review, thank you!
I'm wanting to wear dress shirts and I was wondering if this would help.
Thank you for sharing!
I bought a wrap but had to get my mom to cut & sow it as I have a small waist & big hips/bum! Fits better now we cut an upside down v out the back!
Yay for having an awesome mom! =)
How can I order a comgortbealt
Do I need the ostomy wrap, and the plastic shield that you did a review for? What's the difference? Which would be best?
You don't need to use either, but both can be used in specific situations. Check out the presentation I gave which explains the pros and cons of these options in more detail: czcams.com/video/t8zkKs2x9Io/video.html
It looks awesome and just what i need. Are they available in Australia
Hi Janet, unfortunately, Awestomy! went out of business recently. I do have a list of companies who sell wraps and many of them will ship to Australia. You can search and sort through them here: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
So here's a weird question. This is exactly what I was needing. However, my iliostomy is very high on my belly. Will that make a difference?
Wraps are designed to be pretty universal, and a high stoma is probably even better suited for it.
thanks
Pls am in France and where can I find some to buy
My friend, unfortunately this company went out of business. I suggest checking for similar products in Europe.
What's the best wrap you have tried ?
I like both the wraps from Awestomy! and the classic wraps from OstomySecrets. Depending on price, color options and availability, either are with getting.
As long as you get a wrap that has a pocket (not just a belly band), it'll work well for supporting a pouch.
I just want the wrap for intimate relations with my mate. Do they make them for 3 x women n in lacy type material??
Hi Debra,
I suggest contacting individual manufacturers to see what they can offer. I have no doubt that you'll find something you'll love. I do have a list of companies you can refer to: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
will this prevent the bag from filling fully and cause a higher percentage chance for a leak if you wear it as an all day product? I've been fine tuning a set up that I can wear during work that will 1. prevent leaks as much as possible and 2. provide hernia support (I have good sized hernia now) and 3.keeps a low profile (the only person I want to know that it is there is the boss) Currently I'm using Coloplast's elastic barrier strips for leak protection and ostomy armor's waist wicks and a 9 inch Nu hope ostomy hernia belt for the support all of which is working perfectly for me. Now I just need something to cover my third goal of keeping a low profile without compromising leak protection or volume of output available. Right now I'm looking at something either like this awestomy wrap or a stealth belt. I have an ileostomy with liquid output and a stoma that is higher up, like 4 to 5 inches above my waist.
+Nathan Deas Any kind of wrap or accessory that presses against your stoma can restrict output, but that usually happens when it's on too tight and when the the output is thick. I find that these do help keep the profile lower, although I prefer something like a StealthBelt for better support.
Vegan Ostomy Awesome! thanks for the quick response! I think I'm going to try out a stealth belt or something comparable. I'm thinking that will give me more volume and less frequent pit stops as well since I won't have to worry about my belt cutting flow with it sideways.
+Nathan Deas Wait a few days... I've got a video review for the StealthBelt Pro coming. 😊
Thank you for making this channel! You are an awesome asset to this community!
+Nathan Deas Thanks. I appreciate your kind words.
I live in trinidad and tobago and we don't have a lot of items for ostomate here
Many companies will ship internationally, so contact them to see what shipping options they can offer.
How does the poop drop down without pancaking when clothing is tight?
It's best to avoid tight clothing, if possible, or you'll need to "manually" assist the output to drop.
Some stoma guards can help, but they can add unwanted bulk and it wouldn't be my first recommendation.
where can i get one like that ?
Awestomy is out of business, unfortunately. You can find other companies who make wraps here: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
How can I get one???? Are they out of business? 800no. Doesn't work, email no response please advise.
I've had several people asking the same question. I tried to contact Awestomy to see what's up and never heard back. I would assume they are either out of business or going out of business, unfortunately.
Its an Awesome idea for AWESTOMATES.👏👏👏
I have a 32 inch waist (mens) which is a small size wrap on the awestomy website, but I plan to wear thi wrap all day. Should I go with a medium instead?.
+Gutsy Talk Actually, you may want to reconsider and get a wrap from ostomy secrets instead. Awestomy has been missing and I don't even know if they are still in business. Looks like you're in Canada, which may be a problem when it comes to shipping. I'd contact OstomySecrets directly to see what your options are. Let me know if you get stuck and still need to find a wrap. Sizing will vary from brand to brand.
+Vegan Ostomy I checked the awestomy website and it seems like they're still around because I'm still able to place orders but I haven't been able to contact them so I'm not sure. About ostomy secrets, do they ship to canada?.
+Gutsy Talk I've heard from others who've said that they get no response from Awestomy and I've been trying to contact them for months without a reply. OstomySecrets doesn't ship to Canada, unfortunately. There are Canadian vendors you can check out here: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/ although I'd like to try some Canadian product out so I can make recommendations.
+Vegan Ostomy there is a Canadian company called ostomy cares who have similar wraps but unfortunately there are no reviews on it. Anyway thanks for your help.
+Gutsy Talk I'll get in touch with them to see if I can get one to review. I honestly don't know of they are comparable to the Awestomy ones or not.
Sorry how can I order a comfortbelt
Try www.comfortbelt.com or www.stealthbelt.com/ for a similar belt (StealthBelt I believe partners with ComfortBelt now).
Hi awesome video how long after surgery before you started to wear a wrap. I'm new to all this so please forgive me if it seems to be a silly question.
Hey Ann, no question is a silly one =)
I don't even think I knew what wraps were until months after my surgery. I did start to wear a Stealth Belt Pro about two months after surgery though. I did have some wound complications post-op, so I wasn't in a rush to wear anything around my abdomen.
One tip: If you are underweight before surgery, I would wait until your weight stabilizes before purchasing a product like this, just so it isn't tight months down the road.
Take care!
Thanks.
Where can i get them to purchase
Unfortunately, this company went out of business, but there are other suppliers who may be able to ship internationally. Search for "wrap" on this page and contact the companies listed to see what shipping options they have available: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
👍👏
Im in South Africa.. Are there stockists here
Hi Ashley. Unfortunately, Awestomy went out of business recently. If you have a medical supply store, like the one that sells ostomy supplies, you should check in with them to see if they have a similar product available. Good luck.
@@VeganOstomy we have a very limited range to choose from over here and they are hellish expensive
@@ashleyventer3739 No doubt. Are you able to sew? One idea might be to purchase a maternity band and modify it so it has an inner pocket as these wraps would. Maternity bands should be easier to find, and at a much lower cost. Good luck!
How can I order dome
The official website for the stoma dome is stomadome.com/ 👍
@@VeganOstomy Do these stop or restrict output to any concern? I am new with only 5 weeks experience
Good question. Anything that you put over your stoma has the potential to restrict flow and or reduce the capacity of your bag. I find that wraps tend to pinch the center of the bag, but most loose or semi loose output gets down there just fine. The most challenging output to have when wearing one of these accessories is slow, thick output. This will "pancake" often and usually requires manual intervention to move along (ie. Pushing it down with your hand).
Just got to hear and watch about the wrap, I have been using a scarf to tie around my waist.How much are the wraps going for,how can someone get them if you are in Kenya?
You'd have to check with the manufacturers who make the wraps. Some ship internationally.
I am patient Interested in doing something?

$4,000 Whoa! Very expensive for a piece of stretchy cloth?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, Michael.
@@VeganOstomy Hi well I looked up the link for Awestomy and it gave a price of $4,000.95 ( maybe it was Hong Long dollars haha! )
Looks like they are out of business. That's the price to buy their domain name 😟
@@VeganOstomy That's a shame that the company no longer exists. Looks like a good product. I would have bought one.
They had great products, but they didn't run the business effectively.
That's good i have a girlfriend so we both like sex you know i figured that wasn't going to stop me. Thanks buddy🙂
