What Is the Discreet Internal Mesh Pocket?
To make swimming as pleasant as possible for ostomy patients, the CUI Men's Ostomy Swimwear features a high waist that sits above the stoma site with an internal mesh pocket to house the stoma pouch. 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. Moreover, these swimming shorts are made from a lightweight, quick drying fabric that ensures maximum comfort at all times.
How Comfortable Is the CUI Men's Ostomy Underwear?
This swimwear is designed with the ostomate in mind, which is why it features a high waist to prevent discomfort around the stoma. The internal pocket 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.
