Whilst the grey colour of the traditional SenSura Mio bags does blend in with my skin and is less visible under light clothing it somehow feels more exposing to me and I feel more like a patient than someone now just getting on with their lives with a stoma. It's hard to explain, but the traditional colour just feels more like a medical device, which obviously it is, but I suppose I don't always want to be reminded of that. Having the choice and being able to mix it up by sometimes wearing grey and other times choosing black gives me versatility, which I am very grateful for.
When I am wearing my SenSura Mio in Black bag it feels like I am making a choice and a bold statement, "this is me and I am proud".
My stoma bag is hidden away most of the time, but when it isn't the black bag draws a more positive impression and its total lack of transparency can be a huge plus point.
