Yvonne has had a stoma for 14 years, and has reflected on the resilience that comes with living with a stoma over that time.

Her words highlight something we often overlook, that strength doesn’t always look the way people expect.

Sometimes, it’s found in the quiet act of simply getting up and facing the day.

Living with IBD and a stoma isn’t just a physical journey — it’s a mental and emotional one too. The courage it takes to keep showing up often goes unseen, but it’s real.

To everyone who’s still trying: you’re doing better than you think.

What’s one small act of strength you’ve shown recently?

Welcome to the Bedroom Diaries: where we talk openly about intimacy, connection and the realities of relationships when you’re living with a stoma.

Confidence in intimacy takes time and can come more easily from building a connection.

For some, it’s finding a partner who brings trust and reassurance. For others, it’s being able to laugh together when the stoma does its own thing.

Everyone is at different stages in their journey when it comes to relationships and intimacy, and that’s completely normal.

What tips do you have for regaining confidence with intimacy?

Jonathan shares his Urostomy bag change!

A typical stoma bag change involves: removing the old bag, cleaning the peristomal skin, checking the stoma, and applying a new appliance that fits securely and comfortably.

Plus, in Jonathan’s case, the Confidence BE Urostomy bag includes an outlet that can be tucked away discreetly, helping him manage urine output comfortably and confidently throughout the day.

It’s a routine that many Ostomates do every day. It supports independence, reduces the risk of skin complications, and helps people live life fully with a stoma.

Have you found a routine that works for you?

The emotional side of having an ostomy can be just as unpredictable as the physical side — and everyone copes differently. Some struggle, some adapt, and some find comfort in humour.

In our newest blog, we meet Stig, a colostomy with a mind of his own. His owner shares the raw reality of waking up from surgery, facing blowouts, learning the ropes, and eventually finding confidence through laughter and acceptance.

It’s a reminder that stoma life isn’t just about appliances and routines — it’s about resilience, identity, and finding joy again after illness.

What if we stopped judging our bodies by how they look, and started appreciating them for what they do?

Bryony, one of our incredible advocates, recently shared a powerful reflection on body confidence, not focusing on appearance, but on the amazing things our bodies do for us.

"Our bodies carry us through illness, recovery, laughter, heartbreak and every moment in between. They adapt, they heal and they keep going—even when life feels unpredictable.

Living with a stoma can change your relationship with your body. But sometimes, the greatest shift comes when we stop focusing on appearance and start recognising the incredible work our bodies do every single day.

Your body isn't a project. It's a partner."

Share these words with someone who might need a reminder of their own strength today.

It’s easy sometimes to talk badly about our own bodies. Whether we have been through health challenges, traumatic events, or simply don’t think parts of ourselves look how we want them to. So we asked our advocates to rewrite the script – turning harsh words they’ve said about their bodies and rewriting them with kindness.

“I hate my stomach” became “It gave me two boys.”

And “My body is unlovable” became “My body has allowed me to recover from surgery and has got me through it.”

This is a reminder that a body that has been through illness and major operations isn’t just surviving, it’s showing incredible strength.

What kind words would you give your body today?
