Caring for Your Handmade Ostomy Bag Covers
Handmade ostomy bag covers are a wonderful way to bring comfort, confidence, and personal expression into your daily routine. Just like any other essential garment or accessory, taking proper care of them helps extend their life and keep them looking and feeling great.
🧼 How to Wash Your Ostomy Bag Covers
At Nuvibe Living, our covers are designed to be reusable and easy to maintain. Follow these steps to safely wash them:
- Use gentle detergent: Choose a mild, fragrance-free detergent to avoid irritating sensitive skin.
- Machine or hand wash: Most covers can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle. Hand washing is ideal for prolonging fabric life.
- Wash in cold water: Cold water preserves fabric color and texture, preventing shrinkage.
🌬️ Drying Tips
- Air dry: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid the dryer to maintain shape and prevent wear.
- Keep away from heat: Do not iron or expose covers to high heat, which can weaken the elastic or fabric.
🧺 Storage Suggestions
To keep your fabric ostomy bag covers in top condition between uses:
- Store in a clean, dry drawer or breathable pouch.
- Fold gently or hang flat to avoid wrinkling or stretching.
🔁 When to Replace
Even with the best care, your covers may eventually show signs of wear. Here are a few indicators it may be time to replace your washable ostomy bag covers:
- Fading or thinning fabric
- Fraying seams or stretched elastic
- Loss of fit or comfort
