Fabric Specialization
•Posted on October 24 2018
Our original product materials were our RelaxedWear fabrics. This wide knit material is your pleasantly cozy option for ostomy supports. Standard, soft & comfortable, RelaxedWear fabric is ideal for cooler weather or every day leisurely activities with the same feel as your favorite cotton t-shirt.
As we continued to grow, we identified the need for additional material options, specializing fabrics for better utilization in activities such as working out, swimming, accessorizing, etc.
ActiveWear fabrics were introduced to meet the needs of an active ostomate, seeking materials that assist in increasing aeration while working up a sweat. This antimicrobial material includes a wick layer that assists in reducing moisture, similar to fabrics used in athletic wear / sports apparel
SwimWear fabrics are perfect for all water activities. This light-weight, low-absorbency material reduces drag while in the water & dries more quickly when getting out of the water. DesignWear fabrics can be chosen if seeking this material in colorful prints & graphics. These fabrics are similar to materials used in swim suits or water sport apparel.
So how does this help?
Does this mean I need to get one of everything?
Not at all. Just like you can go swimming in a t-shirt & shorts or go jogging in your sweat pants, so too can you use any and all fabrics for any and all activities, we are just giving you the option to choose. All fabric specializations are soft enough to be worn 24/7, 365, even while sleeping.
