ANSWERS
Q: How does Ostomy Armor™ work?
A: It works by maintaining the barrier in it's perfect place and protecting your stoma site regardless of how you move.

Q: I'm not very active.  Will the Armor work for me?
A: The Armor will help every ostimate by preventing leaks, blowouts and protecting your stoma, whether or not you lead an active lifestyle.  Just wearing a seatbelt can be a risky thing.  Our philosophy and hope is that you will lead the life you want to, not just a life that you feel forced to.  From time-to-time we will feature photos of other ostimates doing things that would ordinarily cause a blowout or other problems.  You may not fly helicopters or rock climb, but if you see people doing these things with Ostomy Armor™ then you should be able to go dancing, bowling, playing golf or anything else you want.

Q: I've seen other "belts" on the market.  Why should I buy the Ostomy Armor™?
A: There are products called "support belts", but there are no other products as strong as, or even similar to, the Armor.  The Armor is strong, slim, discreet and built to take a pounding.  It's not a flimsy plastic/ elastic item; it's tough, durable and will take care of you for a long time.

Q: Financial times are tough.  Why should I spend $85 (or more) on a product when I don't know if it works?
A: You may be accustomed to sales people who are not ostomy patients that may push useless products, or products they are not familiar with.  Ostomy Armor™ was invented by a stubborn ostomy patient that did not want to spend the rest of his life putting up with leaks, blowouts and pain.  Ostomy Armor™ has been tested rigorously and under extreme conditions.  We have actual customer comments that attest to the fact that it works and works well.  Why spend $50- $110 for a flimsy piece of plastic and elastic that will not last?  Also, when used with a recommended barrier, Ostomy Armor™ will extend the active use of a barrier for up to 7 days instead of two or three; this, of course, saves you money.

Q: If the Armor is discrete, why have "Ostomy Armor™" on the front?
A: When worn correctly, the Armor logo will not be visible under your clothes (unless you are a follower of the pants-down-around-the-knees school of fashion..., then you will see the logo.)

Q: I have never needed to protect my stoma.  Why would I start now?
A: If you have never banged your stoma, lucky you!

Q: I've never had a leak or blowout, either.  Same question.
A: Same answer: Lucky you!  Most ostomy patients find that any bending at all, even just sitting around the house, causes the barrier to leak.  Ostomy Armor™ prevents that from happening.  Most people also find that they no longer use any paste, thereby allowing the skin a more natural environment.

Besides, who wants to sit around the house!

Q: What sort of people buy and wear Ostomy Armor™?
A: All sorts of people just like you!  Some of our customers include active duty Army personnel, construction workers, climbers, police officers, welders, office workers and teachers.  Nurses also use the Armor to help patients in hospital when changing barriers.

Q: How can you offer ostomy supplies at a discount?
A: We are a small company and our overhead is low.  We don't have a huge warehouse full of products.  We don't falsely over inflate our prices in order to offer you a "discount."

Q: Why don't you bill insurance?  Other companies do.
A: Again, we are a small company and our prices reflect the small staff and overhead.  It is extremely expensive and time-consuming to obtain, submit, and await approval for the forms necessary for each individual ostimate, and is not yet within our bounds.

Q: What if I don't like the Armor?  Can I return it?
A: We understand that Ostomy Armor™ is not for everyone.  You can return the product in its original wrapping for a refund.  We also guarantee the Armor against defects in workmanship.

Q: I have a tiny/large waist.  Can you fit me?
A: We make each Armor individually and will custom make your webbing belt to fit you at no extra cost.

Q: When should I wear the Ostomy Armor™?
A: Most people only remove the Armor to shower.  It is usually worn 24 hours a day.  It will help prevent accidents at night (getting the barrier tangled in the sheets; bag blowing up with gas and then popping off; etc.)

Q: Who can I call with questions or comments?
A: Call us!  We are knowledgeable about ostomy products and issues relating to ostomies; after all, Gordon Scott is, himself, an ostimate, and uses Ostomy Armor™ and other products on a daily basis.  Or email any comments if you prefer.

Q: Can I have sex while wearing the Armor?
A: Absolutely.  Ostomy Armor™ can stay with you through anything!
