Pretty sure just lying on a bed of any variety is possible with an ostomy!

Not really sure why you would want to expose yourself to radiation more harmful than the sun, skin cancer being the main reason (and ending up looking like an old leather handbag the other!)

Just don't stay in there too long (see below)

Thanks Jo for the information I was just wondering if someone that has an ileostomy or any other type of an Ostomy that has tanned in a bed or spray. I know I can lay out. But it's harder the older you get and I don't know how old you are. But I don't look like a leather purse!!!!
