Why are all Ostomy Products so Ugly? [YouTube]
In her newest YouTube video, GoAskAlex confronts the medical supply companies who are still manufacturing bandaid-coloured products.
Says Alex: “It’s time that the companies manufacturing ostomy supplies (and all medical supplies) realize that consumers of these products are not all light skinned! Ostomates everywhere are demanding more diverse product lines with colour options outside of the stereotypical “bandaid” colour. Defaulting to a standard ‘light peach’ colour is not only an outdated practice, but also a representation of racial discrimination. Additionally, the fact that the vast majority of ostomy supplies are transparent when wet is a massive oversight – and quite frankly, it’s insulting.”
