    The Brava® Protective Seal has a new polymer formulation that is designed to protect against leakage and protect the skin, thereby providing a dual protection. It is easy to shape so it fits snugly around the stoma and can be applied over skin with dips, creases and folds. When it is time to take it off, it can be removed easily and cleanly, leaving minimal residue behind. Wide sizes now available for a greater surface area and better fit over skin with more challenges, such as deeper creases and folds.

     

    IMPORTANT! If you have any concerns – such as skin problems or how to use new products – you should always consult your Stomal Therapy Nurse.

    • As a general rule you should talk with your healthcare professional to understand of there are any types of sexual activity you should avoid.
    • Firstly, keeping the pouch clean and empty is a good idea. You may want to put a new pouch on beforehand. You can also use a smaller pouch for more discretion.
    • You may wish to switch to a smaller mini-pouch or a closed-end pouch. For those with a colostomy, a small ostomy cap may be preferred. All of these choices are smaller, less bulky and more discreet.
    • Men might consider wearing a singlet that covers the pouch or a cummerbund-type garment to help secure the pouch.
    • If you are a woman, intimate apparel such as lingerie that covers your stomach can help you feel more confident as it covers your pouch. Crotch-less underwear might also be an option to provide more support for the ostomy appliance as your body moves.
    • Another product option is a pouch cover which can help you feel more discreet. These come in an array of different colours and materials, or you may even wish to make your own.
