Hi Hannah my partner has recently had a stoma fitted and she has been so shy and lacked all self confidence. We watched this video together and she’s amazed at what lingerie you can buy to help cover the stoma! She’s ordered a fair few things already haha just wanted to say a massive thank you for this video and let you know how much you’ve helped! Keep up the good work xxx

[@pazzieanneknexx809]

1. Your boyfriend sounds amazing. 2. I wanted to thank you for mentioning, even if briefly, body insecurity. I have Crohn's disease and have insecurity about it, so seeing someone so confident makes me feel so much better. I own lacy underwear so I feel pretty and like I am taking my body back. Thank you. Never change.

[@xdjbrandonx]

Any chance I could message you or vice versa in regards to crohns?

[@pazzieanneknexx809]

I wouldn't be comfortable with that, but we can have a thread here.

[@xdjbrandonx]

Pazzie Anne Knexx I’ve had stomach issues for years and it is only getting worse. I am now on my second GI but so far what I’ve been given has barely helps. From my understanding there’s no conclusive test for Crohns so how did you get that diagnosis? How can I get my doctor to either rule it out or find out if I have it. ;( any input would be greatly appreciated.

[@pazzieanneknexx809]

Trigger Warning: mention of surgery and blood draws (Please let me know if there are more sensitive subjects and I will add them.) Well, @@xdjbrandonx, the diagnosis was from a combination of colonoscopy and endoscopy results and a hospitalization. I've had a really tough road, but I hope to be better on a new medication I am starting soon, called Stelara. The only difference between Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis (from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation and my doctor's understanding) is that the disease is specifically in the colon for those with Ulcerative Colitis. This means that removal of the colon (if treatments do not succeed, so as a last-ditch effort) will cure (or come close to curing) the patient of the disease. Unfortunately, as with what happened to Hannah Witton, complications may lead to more surgeries or begin a patient's surgical journey. Crohn's disease is throughout the entire digestive tract, from the esophagus (my doctor referred to this as the "food tube" jokingly) to the rectum. Surgery is usually not performed on Crohn's disease patients because the disease is kind of all over the place so it isn't really worth it. I believe treatments focus mainly on calming and healing inflammation and damage control of sorts of the disease. Please be sure to be informed about and tested for these and other digestive or autoimmune issues, such as Celiac's, lactose intolerance, and others. Doctors can do tests, but you must be willing to be in a little bit of pain or uncomfortable for the process to happen the way it needs to. I am recovering from my third endoscopy and colonoscopy which followed a three-day clean out at the time of writing this comment and have experienced many blood draws and had to provide stool samples. Very few people talk about the brutal or gross side of the process unless we are amongst others who understand, but I feel it is important to be honest with those who seek treatment. It can be Hell sometimes, but it will all be worth it when you reach remission or close to it. And I did! For a couple weeks! I was pain free for a few weeks and I couldn't have been happier! That keeps me going: remission is close. Just keep fighting for it.

[@ebonyedmonds]

My dad has Chrons, and when I was young they removed a third of his bowels through surgery, and he has a colonoscopy/endoscopy check up yearly. After ten years, he's now in remission for the first time. It can be brutal, but there are definitely people out there who understand and will help in any way they can

Shout-out for Dan being awesome

[@beccasouthwick]

Hannah Witton i hope noone ever has. would be painful

[@cloudsofsunset7323]

Oooh! That image in my head Dx

[@ajayrious]

I'm sure someone would have. I mean you hear some horror stories from nurses about some of the things theyve pulled out of people's butts and stuff so its not a huge leap that someone experimentative enough would try something with a stoma.

[@kennysim93]

It really depresses me that that's an actual thing and I really didn't wish I didn't come across that when I had my stoma...Some people are seriously weird.

[@truegent9788]

i had a flexi sig camera through my stoma. Not nice

[@Saraisms]

Ok I started tearing up when you said Dan puts his hand on it too when you guys start falling asleep - THAT'S JUST SO SWEET (AND I'M FEELING SUPER EMOTIONAL LATELY)

[@daivahataka]

Made me wonder "are they still farts or are they something else?". Don't think they'd be classed as belches but idk. 😕 If they're not farts doesn't that mean that Hannah is the one girl who honestly can say "I never fart"?

[@PoemsfromParis]

[@gabbyvrielle5138]

Hope this isnt weird or offensive but which dan is she talking about? Just curious

[@Fixtionlag3610]

Dear Hannah, I'm getting a stoma very soon and I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you being so open about your experiences. Your videos have really helped with my anxiety concerning this whole thing. Thank you for talking about such vulnerable topics as in this video, you're seriously making such a difference. I wish you (and Dan) nothing but happiness and only good things coming your way. Lots of love from Germany, Anja

[@atav1234]

Try Fmt before you have the operation

[@ellielindsay8507]

The image of your boyfriend putting his hand on the bag was so sweet! Loved hearing about all these tips, I don't have a stoma but it's comforting to know that no matter what people are going through there's a community or a voice for them to turn to. Gotta love the Internet.

[@BelladonnaHarker]

I also have a stoma, and medical personal don't mention much about sex, so videos like this about peoples personal experiences have been amazing for me in the last couple of years. For me I've had interesting experiences, when I first had surgery I was with someone, so it was just an adjustment period. But that relationship ended. So I have now also experienced dating with a stoma and navigating sex with a new partner. Thankfully he is very much like your Dan. I've offered to wear 'bands' or covers, like the one you showed, our first time and even afterwards but he never had a problem with it being covered or not (But the choice of wearing them is entirely up to each person, so I don't feel like I really need to wear them, but other people might want to, they are kinda just another lingerie item basically). My stoma has made noise, and I've been embarrassed and apologized and he's reassured me that its a natural function, it doesn't bother him, I have no control over it, etc.. He has been really sweet about it really, and depending on the position it doesn't matter much to us if it flaps about (I sometimes do shorten mine like you did tho). Just do whatever is comfortable and pleasurable to you, just like you should do when it comes to sex.

[@chiebele6690]

Women of faith it is well with you all.

[@theworldofmikoa7635]

What is a stoma

[@a_lethe_ion]

i mean other people fart too or queef. shit happens sometimes during anal, so its not like this is like anything out of the ordinary whether you got a stoma or not..

[@eleanorm5825]

"But it's crotchless... hello!" 😂😂😂 Thanks for always being awesome!

[@AMVactivists]

Ask your stoma nurses, guarantee you wouldn't be the first to ask about the butt stuff

[@hippyfriend]

Definitely, for a start they'll probably have been asked by gay men.

[@JamesMichaelDoyle]

just the tip!?

[@misswilde3054]

I think you got asked that much because you always seem so kind, mature and knowledgeable about your body and sex so what better person to ask?

[@Nicole-zo3bh]

Hannah you’re so great. This video is so informative and still hilarious

[@shboomgirl]

"Can I put stuff in it?" You're such a treasure. I love this video, so honest and funny and vulnerable. I'm a tv writer and after watching this I really want to write a character with a stoma bag into my show. Thanks for bringing awareness to this!

#virgin for life

[@elementalguy2]

As a guy who had a stoma for a few years something they warned me about before my surgeries was that any surgery in that area could cause erectile dysfunction due to the potential of nerve damage. In practice though I'd change bags before any thing and I'd also were one of those waist support bands to help keep things from moving that shouldn't be. Having an understanding partner goes a long way in helping one feel comfortable with themselves and especially in something as intimate as sex that goes a long way.

[@johnorchin8567]

Hi Hannah, I think prior to your videos on the subject, life with a stoma was steeped in fear and secrecy. I can't praise you enough for speaking so openly about the subject. You do so much good with these videos. I'm sure people felt comfortable asking you about sex with a stoma because you talk so openly and without embarrassment about this and other sensitive subjects, this in turn has a positive affect on others, who no longer feel embarrassed. 🙂

[@XthecadburykidX]

My boyfriend has a stoma but I think it's probably more difficult for people who identify as male because they don't have as many options with things like sexy underwear to try and disguise the bag. My boyfriend already had his stoma when we got together but it took him some time before he felt comfortable with it around me. I've just always been very patient (it genuinely doesn't bother me because I love him as a person). The first few times we had sex he was very conscious about it and we had to stop a couple of times, but I just gave him lots of reassurance that it was ok and I still found him sexy and I wasn't in any rush. Now we don't have any trouble. Like you said, he always empties his bag beforehand but I don't really find that it interrupts the mood or anything. In fact, as a woman, I sometimes find that his bag is well placed to stimulate certain areas during penetration 😉 Thanks for talking about this topic Hannah. When I first met my boyfriend I too researched about sex with a stoma (I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything that might compromise the bag) and found little information. If possible I would like to hear a male perspective on it if you had any friends who identify as male and would be willing to talk about it on your channel.

[@xdjbrandonx]

XthecadburykidX although I don’t think we should be saying who has it worse, it’s just something all genders have to deal with and in their own way. On the flip side a woman will look past a stoma bag well before a man would. Many “men” can’t even handle the fact that women poop lol.

[@XthecadburykidX]

Brandon I didn't intend to portray that having a stoma was harder for people who identify as male, that was not my intention. However it may be harder for people who identify as male to be comfortable with it in an intimate situation. Lingerie is widely available to people who identify as female and is much easier to utilise, whereas options are limited for people who identify as male and they are forced to have their bag on show (though I'm not saying that this bothers, or should be an issue for, everyone). I do agree with you about women accepting it more than men though. I'm pretty sure I was comfortable with my boyfriends bag long before he was comfortable having it on show around me. And I will also admit that I am still uncomfortable with the idea of pooping in the vicinity of my boyfriend 😂

[@Nathan_Coley]

As a man that has a bag you're awesome for being okay with him about it!

[@XthecadburykidX]

Nathan Coley I don't really get what there is to be okay about, it literally makes no difference to me! But thanks, that's nice to hear 😊

[@Nathan_Coley]

@@XthecadburykidX because unfortunately not a lot of people like yourself exist from my experience. Heck I've had people flat out tell me "they won't date someone with a bag".

Your candor and willingness to be SO honest and educate people is both remarkable and a PERFECT use of KZbin for the BEST purpose - education and entertainment! Good for you Hannah - You are REMARKABLE!

[@jackiepenn1352]

Man I wish there was a video like this around when I first got my colostomy 6 years ago. As someone who was single and going into her senior year of college when I had my colostomy surgery this advice would of helped greatly with my anxiety around intimacy. I love seeing people talking about it so freely and confidently now!

[@amb5972]

Shout-out to Dan for being so understanding and reassuring you that you’re attractive (yes you bloody are)

[@ColetteLeCouteur]

Constantly so inspired by your attitude towards your stoma. It’s brilliant to have such a positive and informative influence for others going through the same thing.

[@withakiwiontop]

You are such a brave and strong woman Hannah! I can only imagine how difficult it is to talk about such intimate things, especially after such a drastic change, and share it with thousands of people... I've been watching your videos for so long that I sometimes forget that it's actually not the most normal thing in the world to share such intimate details with everyone (let alone the pressure of everyone also actively asking for it). I am so thankful that by creating your channel and your videos, you decided to sacrifice a part of your own privacy to live your message of open and honest communication concerning "taboo" subjects. Just know that you always have the right not to share (even if it's easy to forget that when it comes to social media). Your own health and especially mental health always come first. And I can only guess how rewarding but also how hard it can be sometimes to be the person everyone turns to with their intimate questions. I appreciate your openness so much Hannah! Thank you so much for your great work and I wish you all the best! Lots of love from Germany

There is an old saying “Sunlight is the best disinfectant”. You are proving this. To put it another way, to bring everything into the open, it demystifies it and takes the shock out of it. What an amazing, wonderful service you are doing. For the “stoma” community and everyone else. Gosh I love you.

[@coleenmarsh6068]

Intimacy is the key you are so right. Well done for being so open about these things. x

[@ainemarlow882]

I’ve commented this before but you are a rockstar. You’re taking the most ‘oh we don’t talk about that’ subjects and letting people know your honest experience, helping so many in the process. And with the same class you’ve always had, it’s informative and unashamedly you. I literally want to find every stoma nurse in the world and share this with them because I’m sure they would all agree your doing brilliant things to remove the stigma attached to many of our family and friends.

[@annabelyates5219]

I feel like people feel like they can ask you things, even uncomfortable things, because you always seem so open and casual with your audience. Which is great and very refreshing! 😊

[@madisonhewish]

The way you talk and open up about your experiences is so comforting. I think you understand people and the need for connection and vulnerability in a really natural way. I love the mixture of lightheartedness, honesty, and heart you speak in. Thank you.

[@jell1384]

I Dont know if dan ever would be willing to talk about this, but if so, i think a video from a partners perspectief would be really interesting too. How does he cope with this change? How can he stay supportive to you, is it ever too much? I am sure these are sensitive questions and i dont even know if he has ever done something like this (im a new subscriber), but i just think IT would be interesting if he would ever consider that :) Lots of love to you!

[@zebedeesummers4413]

[@Taylen329]

I’m sorry but I can’t be the only one who thinks these questions are a little rude? I mean “how can he stay supportive to you?” comes off as if she is a burden to him and that’s not how loving relationships work. He is a great guy for supporting her and staying by her side but let’s not forget that its hannah that has to deal with most of the negative effects of -her- illness.

[@jell1384]

Hey Taylen, probably it came off more rude than I meant to, since I'm not a native English speaker. I just mean that everyone is applauding Dan for being such a supportive boyfriend, which he really seems to be from our knowledge, but I was just wondering how it is for him since he has to cope with the change too and maybe it has been a traumatic event for him too. Sure, Hannah has to deal with it the most, but I am sure as a concerned partner he has to find ways to deal with it too. So I was just saying that to me, it would seem interesting to see how it is for him. But ofcourse these are very personal topics and I would totally understand if there never was a video dealing with that.

[@ItIsEllieTheElephant]

Hey Taylen. Of course Hannah is the one who has to deal with all the negative side effects of her illness, it's fantastic that she is able to talk openly about such a personal subject to help her viewers understand her illness. I think what Jell meant is that it would be interesting to hear what Dan has to say as it might help partners of people who have a stoma understand how they can be supportive or help them understand it better. I don't think it's rude to be curious about his perspective, but I completely understand if he didn't want to answer the personal questions and he is definitely not obliged to do so.

[@abacusmorgan2]

I love how open you are talking about your body and sex and insecurities. Hearing you speak so straightforwardly about these topics makes them feel so much more normal and natural and comfy!

[@sexxxiipanda10]

great vid, just shows how being comfortable with your partner is so important for all body confidence issues. i lost 150lbs but still have a lot of excess skin around my middle that i’m self conscious about but my partner does the same thing dan does and it helps so much just to know someone still loves you even when you question yourself

[@Snowinginstardew]

I do not have a stoma but listening to your experiences, your openness and willingness to share in the benefit of others (and yourself?) is SO completely comforting and inspiring Hannah. Also, hearing about your partner and you is #relationshipgoals keep it up girl! You are radical.

[@casperes0912]

This made me cry. In a positive way. It's just so beautiful how you and your partner manage all this. Now granted, I do cry easily, but it's just so nice of you to give people who might be in a similar position something optimistic.

[@lestudio76]

Your honesty and openness is refreshing and inspiring

[@Qualityoflifematters101]

Hi Hannah, really enjoyed your videos and the information you’ve openly given out - which is much appreciated I had to have my duodenum removed in January 2018 and can relate fully to Intensive Care, walking, tubes, etc. I’m now scheduled to have a permanent illeostomy in hospital in London in the second week of January coming. I’m currently wearing the bag to trial where they’ve marked it to my belt line. Want to say a huge thank you - it’s been a big help, to support the stoma nurse teams information. I asked about the sex too - and smells - which they’ve said isn’t a problem nowadays once it’s in and running well. Hope your weekend is going well Andrew

[@yz4043]

Your vulnerability about this topic is so beautiful.

[@masterofdesaster787]

I study Medical Engineering, currently still in my bachelors, and I wonder what you feel are things you think are well done about your stomabag and which things you dislike about it? Whether it's size, material or literally anything about it. For example I'd guess the fact that you have to empty it during the night or that it scratches you are negatives and the fact that you can fold it is a positive. Thank you for sharing. :)

I have had a shockingly similar health journey to you. I wish that I had seen your videos before I went through all that I did. Your positivity and body confidence is inspiring, one of the main reasons that I went through the J-pouch surgery was a lack of body confidence which I now know was not at all a good reason.

[@ZophieWithAZee]

I don't have a stoma, but since being in a relationship I have gained weight, mainly around my tummy and waist, so even though it's different, I feel you with the reassurance thing! I feel less attractive than I did a few years ago, but thankfully he is so reassuring and still loves me and looks at me in that way where you know they love you... I'll shut up now, I don't feel like I have any place in this conversation.

[@NechamaGluck]

ZophieWithAZ You absolutely have a place in this conversation :) I've talked with a lot of women who have stomas (I have one myself) and one of the main fears with sex or intimacy is that a partner wont find them appealing or attractive or sexy with a stoma. With or without a stoma body insecurity is something that almost all women struggle with at some point or another, so your perspective is very pertinent!

[@MeSimoneI]

I love how open you are Hannah, and I'm glad you and Dan have been able to keep your intimacy without too many issues :D

[@assiabenachir6250]

Yet another great video Hannah, thanks so much! Also, these are some cute overalls :)

[@paulharting4042]

The bag "system" I used was similar to yours. Emptying the bag just before is a must but, if available, just a small "cover" bag removes most of the mass of the larger bag for those "sexy times". I also wished I had found the intimacy wrap when I had an ostomy. I always wore loose fitting pants or sweats, but still had a few accidents. When I went to have my ostomy reversed no one told me about atrophied sphincter mussels. I had to teach myself Kegels and eventually was able to get a reversal. I love your Channel! PLEASE keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing this journey with us Hannah x

[@jemma345]

Hannah. You are literally the best person.

[@khaxjc1]

Thank you for being so open and willing to share.

[@dansbury]

Wow! Those specific lengerie are amazing!! I had no idea such a thing existed!

[@penelope_skye]

My girlfriend has a stoma and she has a rectum and we have had anal sex but there needs to be some "prep" before hand aka clearing some of that weird mucus stuff out before inserson, but over all it's been alright but she does say it hurts (when I go deep) where she is like sealed up at the top if that makes sense.

[@shirellevii]

Thanks for sharing your experience !

[@maxclaire7460]

Pretty sure she can't help the 'wEiRd mucus' ... It's a normal occurance in everyone's butt.

[@floodlime8620]

Hannah talked about the weird mucus in one of her previous stoma videos, I think it’s something specifically related to a stoma

[@PandaBTF]

Floodlime It's what our bodies naturally produce but with stomas there is nothing to lubricate. So it's much more obvious then.

[@soulseek2]

@pandaBTF i think it has less to do with lubrication but with the fact that it is not regularly flushed like it is with a working colon so it builds up

[@shay8364]

Thank you for mentioning the Ostomy Secrets website, I hadn't heard of it before. I'm definitely gonna buy one of those wraps for my stoma bag, the lace ones look so nice :).

[@pamackermans]

I love your openness about all this ❤

[@kathie5335]

I just discovered your channel, and honestly I can't stop watching your videos. I love your personality and openness about "forbidden" topics. Also, I'm amazed about your Stoma experience. This is the first time I hear about the condition and it kinda reminds me about the time I was diagnosed with Herpes. I know it's a different condition. But throught the first year, I had to do adapt to a new lifestyle, specially for my sex life. I can now openly talk about it, and let people know that's not the end of the world it's a matter of acceptance. Anywho, honestly you're amazing. Wish you the best from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷

[@danielletdg8423]

Love your honesty and openness. I am so glad you have such an amazing partner.

[@aimeea5158]

I never really comment on videos but I just wanted to say I really admire you for talking about all of this so openly. Thank you for always speaking about taboo subjects and starting to break the stigma surrounding them! It really is so important

[@slushg3326]

Aimee A I’m still baffled that talking about sex and essential human things is such a taboo thing to do I mean it really should not be. The more knowledgeable we are about the stuff the better it is.

[@aimeea5158]

@@slushg3326 agreed 100%! It's unfortunate that it is but yeah with people like Hannah talking more openly about it, I hope it makes other people do the same so eventually it doesn't have to be like that

[@slushg3326]

Aimee A One can only hope.

[@digitalnomadgirl]
