Hi all, I've thrown away the size chart that came with my latest order (doh!).. and I now find that I probably need to change my pouch size. I'll add a new chart to my next order, but in the meantime does anyone have an emailable printable copy, a link to such online, or other suggestion for a quick fix? Currently using Hollister 26830. Any assistance gratefully received. Thanks.

Lynn

Hi Nanny-ogg,

I'm sure you'll find plenty of support from our large community here. It's great to see you reaching out for help!

For a quick fix, you might want to check the Hollister website directly, as they often have resources like printable stoma size charts available for download. Alternatively, you could contact their customer service for a digital copy. Some members have also mentioned that local medical supply stores might have charts you can use in a pinch. Hope this helps!

With thousands of members on this site, you can use the search feature to find others who might live nearby or are in a similar situation. Connecting with someone around your age might make you feel more comfortable. Good luck!

Hello Nanny-ogg. I have found that  telephoning the manufacturers with such a dilemma results in an immediate posting of whatever I need. I would therefore suggest that you don't wait until your next order but get in touch straight away and explain your problem.

Best wishes

Bill

Excellent suggestion, Bill. I'll call the major distributors first thing in the morning. Thanks for your reply.

I used a size guide 11 years ago when I first had a stoma. For the past 10 years, I have just got my scissors and cut my stoma hole freehand. Within a couple of millimeters, hit or miss, I never have any problems...

Thanks Vulcan, I've always used precut after scratching my stoma on a badly cut flange in the early days. But thanks for the response.
