A stoma bag user is “absolutely thrilled” with the decision from supermarket chain Marks & Spencer to launch a range of knickers compatible with their needs.
Each three-pack is priced at €26 and includes options for both single and multiple stoma bag users, with matching bras also on offer.“I heard about it last week and honestly, the joy I felt on getting an email about underwear, I never thought was possible,” she said.“I have Crohn’s and I was very late getting diagnosed, so I ended up having surgery to get the stoma just before COVID kicked in,” she said.
“If you want underwear that feels secure, you need something that goes over your belly button to keep it snug against your body.”Michaela said this presents obstacles when purchasing underwear.“They’re comfy, but you don’t have the option to feel confident in your underwear.“We haven’t had that option in mainstream stores until now, so this is the first time and it’s been phenomenal.”She noted that the specialised underwear previously available was “very expensive” compared to M&S.
