Comfizz Stoma Support Boxers

Who Are the Comfizz Stoma Support Boxers For?
The Comfizz Stoma Support Boxers are ideal for anyone seeking assured but subtle support around their lower stomach, particularly those with a stoma looking to find the confidence to remain active.

How Do These Stoma Boxers Work?
By generating gentle compression across the lower stomach, these boxers protect their wearer from developing parastomal hernias (hernias around the stoma). Not only does this boost confidence by obscuring the stoma, it also smooths over any bumps or lumps on the wearer's stomach.

Medium / Large | 34 - 38" |
Large / Extra Large | 40 - 44" |
