Ostomy awareness shirt

[JennaRae]

I found this really cool ostomy awareness shirt online today and thought I would share it. I just ordered one. You can draw on the bottom of it to show where your stoma is. I thought it was cute and informative!

Thanks jenna, I know I should but I don't think I'd be brave enough to wear it.

I ordered one, not sure if I will be game to wear it out, but at home and hospital pJ's would be ok.

I just want the design to go to print so you funky young ostomates and strut your stuff. Me, I'm too old and tired to rock that design.

That's pretty cool Jenna!!

Haha...don't have an ostomy but found this amusing! I also like 2thfairy's icon that says "strut with your front butt".
Ooh...the shirt could say "ask me about my ostomy!"

 

[JennaRae]

I love it!

Oh I saw that on Jessica Grossman's blog. Did people see the video for it?

 

[2thFairy]

Hahaha! I just watched it! That one guy wanted his on his ass. Hahaha!

 

[JennaRae]

Yeah that's how I found it! Loved the video

 

[Jaano711]

Does anyone have the link to the video? I'm getting curious now!

I loved the video for it, but don't think I'd have the balls to wear it.

What Jessica is doing though is brilliant. I really hope she is successful with it.

Jenna,
We are twins, I too had the same surgery and a permanent ileostomy. Another great website for t-shirts and great booty shorts is Aweostomy.com. I just joined this site and wanted to learn more about treatment and being connected to those who experience the pain!

Debra, welcome to the forum!

In the stoma subforum up at the top, we have a few threads that discuss supplies, clothing, and helpful tips. If you have any, feel free to add.

We have a lot of fun around here, but if you have a serious issue, we are good for that too.

Hi Debra, welcome!!!

[annawato]

Janette, thats a great idea - I'm definitely getting one to wear for pj's.
Debra, welcome to the forum. 2thfairy summed it up pretty well - fun and seriousness.

 

[Jaano711]

Got my tshirt today. Want to get the courage to wear it, but not sure if I'm ready to answer questions and ignore stares. Yes Anna, it will probably be pj's.

I had mine 2weeks ago and I've worn it 2ce no one has asked me everyone has stared :/ I don't understand the stigma around it. It really needs 2 be sorted

I didn't get one of these shirts, but did get 2 from awestomy.com and I've worn them out many times. They're awesome!

Love the little song at the end ov the video.

I would not have the courage to wear one, but I think I will go like her on Facebook.
