We have lots of bags in our house.

Shopping bags

Handbags

Holiday bags

Party bags

And some very special bags called Urostomy bags.

Other people can’t see these bags. My family wear them under their clothes.

The bags attach to their skin. All the wee goes into the bag.

When they go to the toilet, they open the small tap and empty the bag.

We have to be careful with the bags so they stay on properly. No squeezing or the wee goes everywhere!

Sometimes my family can feel poorly so they see the doctor. The doctor helps them look after their bags.

The bags make my family special. The bags keep them well so we can have fun together.
