M&S is the first high street store to sell stoma-friendly underwear – starting from just £18

Finding stoma-friendly underwear that looks and feels good is no small feat. Enter M&S ’s new line of stoma-friendly lingerie that’s both supportive and stylish.

The shop that teenagers go to for their first bra and adults stay loyal to for stocking up their knickers drawer, M&S is synonymous with lingerie (it sells around 60 million pairs a year). Now, it’s become the first high street store to sell stoma-friendly underwear.

Giving those with stoma bags more choices when shopping for underwear, the retailer worked closely with Colostomy UK (a UK-based charity supporting those with a stoma) for its inclusive range. The simple yet sleek designs favour everyday comfort and security, complete with an internal pocket for those living with a stoma.

Colostomy UK explains that a stoma is “an opening on the surface of the abdomen which has been surgically created to divert the flow of faeces or urine”. Individuals of all ages can have a stoma, with stoma surgery undertaken to treat a range of illnesses, from cancer to Crohn’s disease.

Collaborating with real women with stomas for the range, M&S’s accessible underwear starts from just £18 for a three-pack. The collection is available online and in-store, here’s everything you need to know.
