The first big ostomy decision is one-piece vs two-piece. Both work well; the right one depends on your routine and skin.
One-piece
Barrier and pouch are joined and changed together — simple, low-profile and discreet. Great for new users and active days. See the ActiveLife one-piece drainable pouch.
Two-piece
The barrier stays on the skin while you swap pouches — gentler on peristomal skin and economical if you change pouches often. The Little Ones pediatric range is two-piece.
How to choose
- Want simplicity → one-piece.
- Sensitive skin / frequent pouch changes → two-piece.
- Either way, protect skin with Stomahesive Paste.
