(These are testimonials from actual verifiable Hug Me Ostomy Belt patients

“I had a full colectomy in 2017 and now ‘function’ with an iliostomy.

After being released from five years of Ulcerative Colitis like a coiled spring I now fill every moment of life with enthusiasm, passion and activity – all at Mach4 with my hair on fire.
The last thing I need is a ostomy hernia.
So I wear me a Hug Me ostomy belt to stop this happening, and it has, regardless of what I throw my body into.

Comfortable, well made, effective and stylish.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Kim… in the Fall of 2019.

I require a stoma belt after having a colostomy in April 2019.  Although I had already purchased a couple of commercial belts I did not feel comfortable wearing them.

I attended a Seminar in Nanaimo and a gentleman there showed us participants his new stoma/hernia belt made by Kim…

To cut a long story short I arranged a meeting with Kim and Colette where we discussed what I needed.
I was measured and chose the type of material: as I am extremely active I wanted breathable/wick away fabric.

Two weeks after my initial meeting I received a call advising me my belt was ready for fitting.
Immediately upon putting on the belt I felt comfortable and secure.
I was able to wear and take the stoma belt home with me that day.

My second belt was ready a week later.

The professionalism and empathy shown toward me by Kim and the Ostomy Health team was wonderful.
Any questions I had were answered quickly and no question was regarded as “silly”.

I highly recommend this highly professional, yet kindly, group and I certainly shall be using their expertise in the future.”

“I like to thank Kim from “Hug Me Ostomy Belts” for her promptness, quality of product and follow-up on a very well made ostomy belt.
She was there when I needed her versus the time, money and cost from ordering a brand name from the USA.
Thank’s once again Kim.”

“Kim is very professional and extremely accommodating.

The belt she made was a great product and her customer service is excellent.

This may be the most customer service oriented person I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

She is available to answer questions in a prompt and courteous manner and I felt incredibly welcomed at the difficult time.

The product was exactly as described. It is comfortable and practical. The attention to detail in the making of the belt was extensive. No sharp/rough/unfinished edges. The stitching is fantastic and the fit compared to what the hospital used was a hundred times better.

You can really see the quality of workmanship and material used. When washed garment comes out looking brand new.

The product is so well made and worth every cent you pay.”

“First and foremost, thank you.

The ostomy belt you designed has helped enormously. It not only supports a very large hernia, it also supports my lower back.

I have four crushed vertebrae – lower back, spinal cord not involved.

The second belt with the expansion and added midsection strap has further enhanced my comfort and mobility.

Things we take for granted, such as walking, driving, boating, even doing the dishes are now done in relative comfort.

Thank you.”
