10 Tips for Staying Cool and Confident This Summer with Comfortable Ostomy Bag Covers

Summer’s here — and with it comes sunshine, heat, and outdoor fun. But for people with an ostomy, staying cool and confident can be a challenge. At Nuvibe Living, we create breathable, washable, and lightweight handmade ostomy bag covers designed for warm-weather comfort.

Whether you’re heading out for a patio brunch or just relaxing in the backyard, these 10 summer-friendly tips will help you enjoy the season in comfort and style.

☀️ 1. Choose Breathable Fabrics

Opt for natural, lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, or bamboo blends. These materials allow your skin to breathe and reduce heat buildup around the stoma pouch area.

🧺 2. Wash Covers Often with Gentle Detergents

Sweat and oil build up faster during hot months. Wash your ostomy pouch covers regularly using fragrance-free, mild detergents to avoid irritation and maintain freshness.

🌀 3. Rotate Multiple Covers

Have 2–4 custom ostomy pouch covers in your rotation. You’ll always have a clean one ready, and it helps your covers last longer through frequent washes.

🎨 4. Embrace Light Colors & Summer Patterns

Lighter colors reflect heat and help you stay cool. Bonus? They brighten your day and match summer’s vibrant, carefree vibe.

🧻 5. Keep Layers Minimal

Avoid excess layers. Choose single-layer soft ostomy covers that hug your pouch comfortably without trapping heat.

🧳 6. Carry a Spare Cover

If you’re out and about, toss an extra cover in your bag. It’s perfect for post-swim freshness or staying dry after extra warm outings.

💧 7. Stay Hydrated

Hydration matters. Drinking plenty of water supports healthy skin and reduces irritation around your stoma.

🧴 8. Use a Skin Barrier Wipe

Use barrier wipes to reduce friction and improve pouch adhesion, especially if you’re sweating or staying active outdoors.

👕 9. Dress Light Around the Waistband

Loose-fitting or elastic-friendly clothing will reduce pressure on your stoma. Look for soft, stretchy waistbands that don’t dig in.
