The Problem with Ostomy Covers

Not all ostomy covers are created equal.

Most ostomy pouch covers are made just for appearance.  These covers provide no solution for odor control, skin health, or bacteria growth. In many cases, pouch cover fabrics can actually make odors and skin health worse.  Common issues include:

  • Non-breathable materials that trap heat
  • Lack of odor-absorbing fibers
  • Bulky designs that irritate the skin
  • Covers that get soggy or absorb sweat, worsening smell

StomaCloak was Created to Solve These Problems.

StomaCloak’s fabric fights odor and comfort problems that traditional ostomy pouch covers fail to address.  StomaCloak isn’t just an ostomy bag cover—we use engineered odor-control fabric in each of our ostomy pouch covers StomaCloak’s Proprietary Odor-Absorbing Fiber Technology uses a unique blend of odor-neutralizing fibers that physically trap and break down odor molecules before they reach the outside air.  This means odors stay inside the fabric—never around you.  StomaCloak fabric also features Advanced Moisture-Wicking Performance.  Moisture is a big contributor to ostomy smell, and StomaCloak ostomy pouch covers pull moisture away from the pouch surface, keeping it cooler, drier, and more hygienic.  This dramatically reduces bacteria growth (a major odor source).

StomaCloak’s fabric also features Antimicrobial Properties for Bacteria & Odor Control.  The fabric incorporates silver-based antimicrobial technology, which naturally inhibits microbial growth.  Less bacteria means less odor and healthier skin.  StomaCloak’s fabric is Breathable, providing temperature-regulating comfort.  Unlike heavy or plastic covers, StomaCloak allows airflow, reduces heat buildup, and prevents the warm-pouch odor effect.  Your appliance stays cooler, and odors release more slowly—or not at all.

StomaCloak ostomy pouch covers are discreet, flexible, and fit under your clothing.  StomaCloak is soft, stretchy, and low-profile—so it stays hidden while offering full odor-control protection.

StomaCloak fits all Pouch Sizes

Ostomy pouches are not one-size-fits-all, and today’s ostomates benefit from a wide range of manufacturers offering different styles, sizes, and system options to meet individual needs. Companies like Coloplast, Hollister, and ConvaTec each design pouches with varying lengths, capacities, flange types, and materials, recognizing that body shape, stoma placement, output level, and lifestyle all play a role in finding the right fit. Some people prefer smaller, more discreet pouches for everyday wear, while others need larger-capacity options for added confidence or overnight use.

Because no two ostomies are the same, having multiple trusted manufacturers allows ostomates to experiment, adjust, and ultimately choose products that work best for their bodies and their daily lives.  StomaCloak ostomy pouch covers are available in dozens of sizes and color combinations – so we can fit all manufactures.  Whether you are wearing a one-piece ostomy or a two-piece ostomy system; whether you are wearing Coloplast, Hollister, ConvaTec, Nu-Hope, or another pouch system, there is a StomaCloak designed for the perfect fit.
