Colostomy bags gets a designer makeover
A designer from east London has won a grant to create a new type of colostomy bag inspired by lingerie and tattoos.
Stephanie Monty, 29, created silicone prototypes after members of her own family needed to have the bag fitted - to collect liquid and waste from a hole in the abdomen - to help combat Crohn's disease.
She's now bagged herself a 拢310,000 grant to make the prototypes into fully-developed products.
Ms Monty hopes her designs will improve the confidence of people with the bags.
