@rioa21 thank you so much! I'm a little lost when it comes to all the options so I def appreciate you for being specific. At least I feel a little more educated when it comes to this. I'm just so nervous about how I'm going to handle everything.

@dgroves0430 you are getting some great advice from folks with colostomies. One thing to keep in mind is that what kind of ostomy (colostomy, urostomy, ileostomy) a person has makes a difference for some things, like what kind of pouch. Colostomates can often use a closed end pouch, but someone with a urostomy would have one with a spigot, and someone with a ileostomy would need a drainable pouch. So you might hear some different things 🙂
