"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 M.
"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.

"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
C.
"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
R.
"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
L.
"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
A.
"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 Physically active 50

"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" .... Sally J.
