School not for your family? Here are 18 Tips to Help Children With Special Needs Thrive While Learning at Home.
A soft jersey tee with concealed snaps at BOTH shoulders!
Why use snaps? Zippers are heavy, and can feel cold and uncomfortable on your skin. Our low-profile snaps have a soft fabric backing, and were carefully sourced to be MRI-friendly. Unlike zippers, our snaps can also be used to secure loose lines during treatment.
Snaps provide quick access to broviacs, central lines, and chemo ports without removing clothing for those who are recovering from surgery or to make dressing easier for people with limited mobility.
Ostomy Bag Covers--no fuss, no mess
Why use a cover? This lightweight, water-resistant ostomy cover provides an extra layer of security between your ostomy bag and clothing – so you can say goodbye to leaks and stains!
We love the subtlety of this new design! At a first glance, a stylized peace sign is evident, but a closer look reveals the more playful #2 reference. Wear this when you want to let your fun-loving side show. Mix and match this bag cover with our other colors or prints to show your ostomy attitude!
Stop messes before they happen
Why use pads? Our soft G-Tubeand Trach pads protect your skin from irritation and absorb leakage around surgical sites. Unlike other feeding tube pads, our pads do not have rough edges or irritating exposed seams.
Outer surface made from soft, water-resistant polyurethane laminate (PUL)
Inner layer made from absorbent terrycloth
Skin-facing surface made from moisture-wicking microfleece
Waistband & Insulin Pump Belt help you stay active
This soft stretch waistband is lightweight and hugs the body, providing mild compression. This streamlined look is made from soft, stretchy, and sweat-wicking material.
The Insulin Pump Belt is a customer favorite! The 7-inch zipper provides enough room to store your meds, phone, insulin pump, and more – but so comfy, you’ll forget you’re wearing it.
