The Best Barrier Cream for Stoma Care – Hannah’s Story

Hannah has had a feeding tube since the day after she was born.

Because of a medical condition that prevents her from swallowing, that little tube has sustained her for 28 years.

You might think she’d be used to it by now, but Hannah still deals with daily issues like leaking, irritability, and pain. That’s where Bedrock Balm—barrier cream for redness—comes in.

 

Hannah’s Story

“The little tube that sustains me can often be the bane of my existence. Some days it leaks and hurts terribly, but most days I’m grateful it keeps me alive. It allows me to work out and run miles and lift heavy things and eat every day.”

“I love my body. Like, really really love her. I’m not ashamed of her, I don’t try to hide her and I unapologetically love her. Even if I wanted to hide her I couldn’t unless I wore a ski mask all of the time and that seems hot and socially weird.”

“Yes, my body doesn’t look like everyone else’s. Yes, people stare at me ALL DAY EVERY DAY. No, I can’t swim because I can’t go under water. But this body has done incredible things.”

“It reinforced to me that this acceptance and self love of my body is all on me. Clearly no amount of money or fame can aide women in loving themselves so it’s all on us. So I’d encourage you to speak kindly about your body.”
