Hi
I have recently moved to France and the ostomy bag that I have used for the last few years is not available here. Can anyone recommend a bag that is similar to the current one that I have?

I use a Pelican convex soft one-piece which us drainable ( for an ileostomy). It's usually supplied by Eakin. They Aldo make the seals ( slims) which are supplied by Braun here but the bags doesn't seem to be.

Does anyone use a soft convex one (or 2) piece similar to the pelican bag?

Thanks
Una

Congrats on the move! I don't have any suggestions for you since I am in Canada but have you attempted to find an online distributed that can mail them to you? I order all my supplies from a company in Canada called CanMedDirect. I order one day, it's shipped the next and received the day after.

I wish you the best!

Hi Una
I hope you enjoy your life in France , I used to use the pelican which you spoke of but changed to the Dansac Nova 1 Easifold Convex as I thought it was far more secure.
They are very similar bags and drainable , I use the fold up version as I find it more comfortable but am pretty sure you get them with the tap if you prefer.
I have no idea if you get them in France but it's worth an ask.
