Two ways to wear it
Wear it under an elasticized undergarment, or use the optional pieces in the kit to attach it to your own undergarments, ostomy belt or hernia belt.
1. Under an elasticized undergarment
Most people simply wear the Stoma Stifler under an elasticized undergarment or a snug waistband. Nothing else is needed.
2. Attached with the optional pieces
Use the optional pieces in the kit to attach it to your own undergarments, ostomy belt or hernia belt: the snug bands with adjustable slider clips, the breathable tape, the belt clip, or the 2 aluminum post screws for the anchor plate.
Your Stoma Stifler kit comes with
- The Stoma Stifler (polyurethane cup and arm)
- An anchor plate, designed for either the right or left side
- A short snug band with adjustable slider clip
- A long snug band with adjustable slider clip
- A roll of tape, 10 yd x 2 in wide, hypoallergenic and breathable
- A belt clip
- 2 aluminum post screws, to attach the anchor plate to your ostomy belt or hernia belt
Quick tips for wearing your Stoma Stifler
Small things that make every day easier.
Sized to your pouch
The cup fits over one-piece and two-piece pouches, so it is sized to your pouch, not your stoma. There is nothing to measure.
Simple by default
Most people simply wear it under an elasticized undergarment or a snug waistband.
Extra hold when you want it
The snug bands, tape and belt clip in your kit are optional. Use them if you want extra hold, and position the slider clip to suit your waist size.
Either side
The anchor plate works on either the right or left side.
Never touches the stoma
The cup always stays outside the pouch and never touches your stoma.
On and off
Once it is fitted, the cup snaps on or off in seconds without undressing, so you can wear it only when you want to.
Instruction questions
Does the cup touch my stoma?
No. The cup always stays outside the pouch and never touches the stoma.
Do I need to measure my stoma?
No. The cup fits over one-piece and two-piece pouches, so it is sized to your pouch, not your stoma.
Which side does the anchor plate go on?
The anchor plate works on either the right or left side.
Do I need a belt?
No. Most people wear it under an elasticized undergarment or snug waistband. The optional snug bands and tape add hold on active days, and the belt clip attaches it to an ostomy belt if you already wear one.
What if my output is thicker?
The flexible edge lets soft and moderately firm output pass into the lower pouch. With harder output, slip a finger under the rim and pull it slightly away from your body to let it drop.
How do I clean it?
Clean the Stoma Stifler with mild soap and warm water, and avoid harsh solvents and the dishwasher. Hand-wash the snug bands with mild soap and air-dry them flat.
