Let me start by saying I'm very new to having my urostomy bag. My doctor told me she was ordering supplies which would arrive in 2 weeks approx. Well, a month later I'm left with no supplies. I literally have the last bag on, but it's leaking everywhere. I have no idea what to do. I was wondering, has anyone made a DIY to get through? If so, where would I start? Thanks in advance for any comments.

I would go to the nearest hospital and see if they have some supplies you could have.

Hi, you could contact suppliers of the products directly and check out if they provide free samples. I use Dansac Invent products, and their website: www.dansac.com states that you can request free samples from them. Not only would getting a bunch of samples be useful as backup, it would give you the opportunity to try out different products.
