"Making life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs."

To all the families in the thick of it today—we see you. 🤍 Caregiving isn’t a job you apply for; it’s one you learn on the fly, often through a lot of tears and trial and error.

For National Caregiver Day, we wanted to share a bit of the journey a mother, Carolina, has been on with her daughter, Maya, for the last 9+ years. They went from crying on the bathroom floor with a bag of catheters they didn't know how to use, to her being a confident high schooler who handles it all on her own.

If you’re staring at that first box of supplies today and feeling overwhelmed, these are six things Carolina wishes someone had told her back then.

If you have an ostomy, the word pancake might mean something very different to you 🥞
So on Pancake Day, let’s talk about ostomy pancaking—a common issue that can happen to ostomates and ileostomates, and how to deal with it.

What is pancaking?
Pancaking happens when output hangs around the stoma instead of dropping down into the pouch—basically getting stuck at the “top of the stack.” This happens when there is a vacuum effect as the walls of the bag stick together.

It’s often mistaken for leaking, but they’re not the same thing.

A leak is when output sneaks out from under the barrier, usually at a weak point in the seal.
Pancaking is different. When output is thicker than usual, it can back up quickly with nowhere to go. It builds up around the stoma, forming a “pancake” that pushes the pouch away from the body.

So what helps?
🥞 A little lubricant works like butter on a hot pan—helping output slide down your bag smoothly and keeping things fresher, too.
💨 Adding a bit of air to your bag before applying it can also help. This prevents that vacuum effect that makes pancaking more likely.

Pancaking happens—it’s not your fault, and it’s fixable.

Love Month is all about connection — and intimacy can still be part of that, even with an ostomy or catheters around. 💕

While concerns like leaks, discomfort, or body image can make it feel stressful, remember that you’re not alone, and there are ways to reconnect that feel right for you. Intimacy isn’t one-size-fits-all!

Open communication, patience, and a little trial and error can go a long way.

Love to the point of invention, that’s what Danish nurse Elise Sørensen demonstrated in the early 1950s, driven by empathy for her sister, Thora.

After Thora’s ostomy surgery, Elise was moved by her sister’s constant worry about leakage. From that care and compassion came an idea that would change lives. Elise’s vision inspired Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen to create the world’s first adhesive ostomy bag—leading to the founding of Coloplast in 1957.

Their way of thinking didn’t just help Thora, it continues to support millions of people around the world today. And while much has changed over the decades, we’re still guided by the same spirit of empathy, innovation, and collaboration that inspired Elise, Aage, and Johanne.

Happy National Inventors’ Day!

February is Cancer Prevention Month. Small choices today can make a big difference for your health.

With 4 in 10 cancer cases linked to modifiable risk factors, prevention matters. According to the American Association for Cancer Research, these steps can help: stay active, protect your skin, keep up with vaccinations, avoid smoking, and get screened regularly.

We’re proud to stand with the ostomates and catheter users in our community who have faced—or are facing—cancer, and we’re honored to support you and your journey.

Listen to your body. Discuss your risk factors with your healthcare provider. And don’t skip those screenings.

Here’s what you need to do to continue getting the same product:

1️⃣ Contact your supplier or prescribing clinician and say:
👉 “Please update my catheter prescription to say ‘hydrophilic’ or my brand name/item number of the catheter I have been receiving.”

What does hydrophilic mean?

Hydrophilic means "water-loving." This means a hydrophilic catheter has a coating that becomes slippery when it meets water, which helps reduce friction and irritation*. Many of these catheters are ready-to-use, like our SpeediCath® and Luja™ catheters!

🚨If you use any of these products, or any other catheter labelled "hydrophilic," it’s time to update your prescription!

New billing codes came into effect on January 1st and to continue getting the product you love, your prescription will have to be updated. Talk to your supplier or prescribing clinician to update it so your catheter order is not affected by the change.

*Compared to uncoated catheters.

Aging with a spinal cord injury (SCI) brings changes we don’t talk about enough.

“Many of us are figuring it out on our own, comparing notes, and hoping the medical world catches up,” says Cheryl Angelelli, a Coloplast Ambassador with SCI.

In today’s blog, she shares how age-related hormone shifts have affected her bladder, sleep, and more.

It’s National Popcorn Day! 🍿
A fun treat for most people… and a carefully calculated decision for many ostomates.

Corn has a bit of a mischievous side. It’s delicious, sure, but it can also bring along some unwanted surprises like cramping or blockages, and we all know how tough those can be.

That said, some people really love their popcorn! Deciding whether or not to eat it is really personal. If you are celebrating National Popcorn Day, just remember the classic ostomy rule: CHEW WELL.

✨ Go slow and start small if it’s your first time.
✨ Leave the unpopped kernels behind (they are not your friends).
✨ Don’t forget your water, it helps keep things moving along.

Not a fan of traditional popcorn? Totally fair. Rice cakes, Popcorners, and hulless popcorn are popular “safer snack” stand-ins many ostomates have tried.

Please note: This information is meant as general guidance and not medical or dietary advice. Always consult your healthcare provider with any specific questions.

What happens if I don’t update my prescription?

Since January 1st, if your prescription does not include the word “hydrophilic” or brand/item number, your supplier may not be able to provide a hydrophilic intermittent catheter, and you could be switched to a different product than what you are already using.

📋 To continue to receive your catheters, all you need to do is talk to your supplier or prescribing clinician, they will take care of the rest!

The Coloplast Story

The Coloplast story begins back in 1954. Elise Sørensen is a nurse. Her sister Thora has just had an ostomy operation and is afraid to go out in public, fearing that her stoma might leak. Listening to her sister’s problems, Elise conceives the idea of the world’s first adhesive ostomy bag.

Based on Elise’s idea, Aage Louis-Hansen, a civil engineer and plastics manufacturer, and his wife Johanne Louis-Hansen, a trained nurse, created the ostomy bag. An ostomy bag that helps Thora – and thousands of people like her – to live the life they want to lead.

A simple solution that makes a difference.

Today, our business includes Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Wound & Skin Care and Urology Care. We operate globally and employ about 11,000 employees.
