    Abstract: An ostomy comfort pad (1) that absorbs heat and moisture yet is still lightweight and not bulky. The pad (1) is sized slightly larger than an ostomy appliance (9) and has a similarly shaped body (4). A socket (6) is sized for the acceptance of an ostomy appliance collar (10) so as to surround the collar (10) when in use. The pad (1) has fasteners (2) located on the arms (3) of the pad (1) to secure the pad (1) to the ostomy belt (7). A clip-holder pocket (5) is located at the bottom of the pad (1) and is sized for the acceptance of the ostomy appliance clip (12). The pad (1) has a filling (8), preferably of pinewood fluff, so as to absorb the heat radiated from the excrements and an outer covering (13), preferably made of a polypropylene material, so as to be soft against the user's skin.
