The Eakin ModaVi has honestly changed my life and here is why | by Anna

Years ago, when I was planning to get my reversal bags felt medical and unfashionable, I really lacked in confidence due to my body image and could never show it to anyone.

There have been so many improvements since then and after my stoma surgery in 2022 it was really important to me to get a stoma bag that is modern, fashionable and comfortable as body image was a huge factor in my decision to get the reversal- the ModaVi jumped right out to me, and I have never looked back!

What matters to me

Fit– The fit of the ModaVi is perfect for me. There is a range of moderations to the ModaVi to make it suit any body- flat or convex, two piece or one piece, drainable or closed and the size. I opted to use the convex bag in the larger size as my stoma size is 35cm so the extra flange on my skin feels really secure. The convex of the flange also moulds perfectly to me and my hernia.

Discretion– Don’t get me wrong I now love to show off my bag and have so much confidence but sometimes it is nice to camouflage it. The ModaVi is so discreet, with the choice between neutral and black the bag blends seamlessly into every outfit giving me body confidence. The colour and material is so sleek and the bag doesn’t make loud rustle noises (I do have memory of comparing bags to crisp packets!).

Versatility– the ModaVi bag works for me in every scenario! One of my absolute favourite features of the bag is the water resistant material, I swim regularly before work so being able to quickly towel dry my bag before getting changed saves me so much time and I am comfortable all day. Also, the bag fills evenly and securely meaning I can get a full night sleep with no disruption.

I would recommend this bag to anyone, it has given me so much confidence to do the things I love without worrying about my Stoma.
