CUI Ladies' Shorties Ostomy Underwear
For ostomy patients, it can be difficult to find a safe and reliable solution for carrying the stoma bag that is comfortable and doesn't impede daily activities. The CUI Ladies' Shorties Ostomy Underwear are designed with a patented in-built "scoop" pouch cover which keeps the ostomy bag away from the skin to minimise irritation. The Shorties are high-waisted to prevent discomfort around the stoma and the surrounding area.
This underwear is available in multiple sizes and colours with left, right or twin pouch options. Please select using the drop-down menus above.
How Comfortable Are the CUI Ladies' Shorties?
This underwear is designed with the ostomate in mind, which is why it features a high waist to prevent discomfort around the stoma. The patented 'scoop' pouch cover ensures the ostomy bag is kept away from the skin, minimising heat transfer to the skin while preventing the weight of the bag from creating uncomfortable tension.
Which Pocket Should I Choose?
This underwear is available with left, right or twin pouches, allowing each user to choose their own design for maximum comfort. Here's a short explanation of the different pocket styles:
- Left - Keeps the ostomy bag in a pouch on the left side
- Right - Keeps the ostomy bag in a pouch on the right side
- Twin - Allows the choice to keep the ostomy bag in a pouch on either the left or right
What Does the Scoop Pocket Do?
The scoop pocket in the underwear provides a breakthrough in ostomy underwear design, as it gently houses the stoma pouch and separates it from the skin. This has all sorts of benefits, including reducing heat felt from the pouch, reducing rubbing or irritation, offloading the weight of the pouch, and minimising any noise from the bag.
Is CUI Ladies' Ostomy Discreet?
Yes, this underwear is quite discreet, as the fitted design minimises any tendency for the ostomy bag to 'bulge' under clothing. As an added bonus, since the pouch cradles the bag, any noise from the bag's material is minimised for complete discretion.
Can I Wear Them at Night?
Yes, this ostomy underwear is suitable for night wear. Since they are made with 100% cotton, they'll be soft on the skin to allow for a good night's sleep.
Will I Be Able to Drain the Ostomy Bag?
The high-waist underwear has been designed to make draining ostomy bags as simple as possible. The internal pocket is designed with convenient outlets, allowing the bag to be drained with minimal disruption.
What Is the CUI Underwear Made From?
The CUI Ladies' Shorties Ostomy Underwear is made from 100% cotton. This ensures a soft feel on the skin, making these underwear comfortable for all-day wear.
Can I Use This Underwear After Urostomy?
This underwear is suitable for more than just colostomy patients, as it is also suitable for use after urostomy or ileostomy. This versatility makes this underwear a great all-round option for ostomy patients, as it represents a boost to comfort when compared to traditional ostomy underwear.
Internal Scoop Pocket
The scoop pocket keeps any pouch used away from the skin in order to reduce irritation. Gently supporting any weight or movement of the pouch during the day or night, the scoop pocket also helps to minimise noise. All underwear scoop pockets feature drainage openings as required.
