Our Story

Welcome to Yentl's Secrets - a company born out of love. We make products for the ostomate in mind. All products are hand made by a person who understands the unique challenges of life with an ostomy.  We hope our products will help you or your loved one find the comfort and confidence that is available to each and every ostomate!

When faced with a life-threatening episode of Crohn's disease at the age of twenty-four, and after fourteen subsequent years of recurrences and failed medical treatments, my life was reborn after my colon resection and ileostomy creation. Afterwards, my husband and I needed some way to talk about my ostomy, so we named her Yentl, my "loved one," keeping our conversations private...secret.

Thus, Yentl's Secrets was born, in order to provide comfortable, colorful, and playful ostomy pouch covers for all appliances, for all sizes and ages, and for men, women, and children. All covers are hand-sewn and custom-fitted to each customer's needs, using a wide variety of fabrics and designs.

I hope you enjoy browsing our website and can find a product that meets your needs and style.

We believe you, too, will find the comfort, the fun, and the love we share with you in using Yentl's Secrets products.

With joy and compassion,

Jean Polnerow
