Here are some comments that have
been e-mailed to us:
"I just received my second
belt today and am very pleased, as I was with the first one I bought
last year. This is an excellent product that has given me a greatly
increased sense of confidence. I feel more comfortable being active
and am able to wear my regular clothes without the concerns I had
about bulging without the belt. I've mentioned Ostomy Solutions to
my oncologist who will pass on the info to other patients and have
also recommended it on an ostomy support forum. Thanks for this
terrific product that helps me be more myself and less an ostomy
patient!" .....Ralph V.
"My husband, Paul, was
overwhelmed with embarrassment after his ileostomy surgery. He
didn't know how he was going to live with the pouch. When I found
your product, I ordered it super rush, and he was able to use it
from the time he left the hospital following surgery. Your
Better Life Ostomy Belt certainly lived up to its name. It gave Paul
the confidence and security he desired. He wore his belts until they
were threadbare rather than go without while waiting for new ones to
arrive. Paul died on November 26, 2006. His gently-used and
laundered belts are being donated to less fortunate ostomates
through the UOAA. Thank you for providing a product that enabled
Paul to maintain his privacy, modesty and dignity". .....Sima

"O.K. I am now a
believer. I purchased one of your Ostomy Belts a few weeks ago and
put it on the shelf for future consideration. The clasp on my pouch
came undone yesterday. What an experience. It then dawned on me that
I had this new Ostomy belt on the shelf. Ordering two more today.
Thank you for this ingenious product". .....Tom

"I love your belt. I wear it 24/7
! .....Marji C.
"I received my belt yesterday and I
immediately wore it. It feels like I don't even have an ileostomy!
Thank you very much, you will hear from me again soon.
.....Abel G.
"I have been wearing your
belts since I had my total colectomy 4 years ago. What a blessing
they have been for me. They have held up well, since I have not had
to order replacements until now. I will be contacting you shortly to
purchase new belts. The old ones are still functional, just losing a
bit of their elasticity. Thanks for the great product.
.....Brad S.
"I know I've written before
telling you how much I appreciate your product, but I just wanted to
say it again, since this summer was my "litmus test". I'm a baseball
umpire for high school and college level games. Once I recovered my
strength to the point I knew I would be able to umpire again, the
question of how I was going to manage with this pouch troubled me.
Your belt gave me the comfort and freedom of movement to resume my
umpiring avocation with great success. Not only that, but as you may
or may not be aware, for us umps our "dressing room" is usually the
parking lot! With your belt I was very comfortable changing outside
without attracting undue attention to myself (my wife suggested some
people may think I was wearing a brace of some kind). Nevertheless I
didn't get any comments. Thank you again for making such a
great product available. ..... John

"I have received delivery of my
support belt and I am amazed how comfortable it is. It gives me
gentle support and protection and it has already increased my
confidence. I can now wear a shirt tucked in and my stomach area,
still sensitive to the huge scar, feels safe. Thank you very much.
Its made a huge difference already. ..... Jim

"I just wanted to let you
know that I showed my ostomy nurse your belt and she absolutely
loved it. She has a huge clientele in Boston at Children's
Hospital, and she's constantly trying new contraptions and
inventions so that she can recommend them to her patients. I'm
a fan of your product and wish you lots of success! Thank you
again for a great invention. .....Michael

"I just thought I'd write and tell you this belt is the best
ever. I have had an ileostomy for 14 years. I can't believe it's
been that long. In those years before the belt I felt so insecure
about doing things that I did before the operation. Now that I have
the belt, I am doing things that I used to do and feel that I can
pretty much do anything I want, of course within reason."
..... Your friend in Pennsylvania, Phil

"I just received my Ostomy
belt and I absolutely love it. I have had an ostomy for about a year
and a half, and I have no idea how I got along without this belt for
so long. It has made wearing a pouch much more comfortable,
and more secure. My job requires lifting, and I have caught my pouch
many times. Now it is protected, and I feel much safer at work. I
love this belt and I would highly recommend this product to anyone
who has to wear a pouch. Thank you for this product." .....
Mark H.
"I received my belt and find
it most helpful. There are 2 additional benefits to the belt that I
don't believe you advertise. 1.My car seatbelts now don't lay across
the pouch. 2.Seems to me no one will smell the leak before it
gets outside the confines of the belt (saves the clothes). Thanks
for your superior product." ...... Gerald
P.
"The belt is great it
really helps my husband a lot. He is a framing and siding
contractor, and it keeps the ostomy bag up and out of the way of his
tool belt. Thanks for a great product." ..... Katie
B.
"I just received my belt
and wanted to say thank you, it's great. Thank you, also, for your
professionalism. You mentioned that this is a part time thing for
you, but from your initial phone follow up to the packaging and
mailing of the belt everything has been first class.
..... thanks again " ... Rob

"The belts we ordered
from you last fall for my nephew in Iceland have been working very
well. He now tells me he would not know what to do without them!! I
would now like to place an order for three belts.
Many thanks." ..... Heida K.
"Now, about
a year out of the hospital I am strong again and back on the job,
and I honestly don't know how I did without the belt I first
purchased from you about six weeks ago. I used to have to hold the
weight of the bag on the way to the bathroom with one hand, and wear
xtra long shirts to hide the bag. No longer. ....... The belt
is a lifesaver. I am on your site now to order another one. I just
want to say thanks for such an invaluable product for
ostomates." ...... David S. Carpenter/Contractor

"Many thanks for the
last belt. It is a really good design. I would like to order another
two belts and will order via your
website".... Pete
"I wore my new belt for
the last 24 hours. I'm very happy! Very comfortable and nicely
support and conceal the ileostomy bag. Better than hanging between
your legs. I'm only 3 weeks post surgery and this belt is one of the
good news that instantly improves my quality of life." .....
Thanks! Francis D.
"I've only had it on for
about 6 hours and I love it, especially because I have a hernia that
is just below the ilio. And with the bag pulling on my abdomen when
it gets a little heavy, it affects the hernia. This belt handles the
weight beautifully." Thanks ..... Michael
H.
"Thank you for your
great product. It has really made a difference in my husbands life"
