In this blog, trialist and REFRESH user, Rachel, takes us behind the scenes of our photoshoot earlier in the year for REFRESH, and her experience of our new product. Happy reading!
This Summer I had the honour of being asked by Respond Healthcare Ltd to be part of the launch of their new innovative 3 in 1 product, REFRESH. This exciting product is truly one of a kind acting as a barrier film, adhesive remover, and deodoriser in the form of a fresh linen fragrance. It removes the need for several tools, creating an eco friendly product that is kind to the environment, and your stoma care routine.
Having two ostomates in our household, the waste and recycling we create has always been a concern of mine. I am always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact. REFRESH is 100% recyclable and free from air pollutants found in traditional aerosols. This means I can stop ordering several products that can create non recyclable waste, and use REFRESH for both practical ease and minimising environmental impact. On my Instagram @gutsy.mum I share how life works in our household with two ostomates, and how I use craft trollies to store my supplies. They carry enough for a weeks supply before replenishing at the end of each week. We store the stock delivered by Respond in our garage, as we simply don’t have the space. This little can will give back some precious storage space and leave me with little to carry back and for when replacing stock.
As a Mum to a 5 year old ostomate, I am always encouraging independence during bag changes and emptying. Products needed for this aren’t always child friendly in terms of easiness to open and use. Having the 50ml spray can is perfect for little fingers, with no coldness to the skin on application giving no nasty shocks for our little ones precious tummies.
Take care, Rach x
