StomaSafe Plus Ostomy/Hernia Support Garment Light by TYTEX (White, S/M) 33.5" - 44" Hip

I'm new to wearing a urostomy pouch and the fact that it can be seen behind my clothing makes me very self-conscious. I'm a petite woman only 5 feet tall so my stoma is well above my belly button and inches above the waistband of my dress pants and blue jeans. I can see pouch crinkles and bulges under every type of top or dress I wear. This support garment smooths out the pouch edge crinkles and bulges and makes the pouch nearly invisible under any type of blouse or knit shirt. It also hides the drain at the bottom of the pouch because of the little "envelope" in the bottom of the garment. It's very easy to put on and take off. I wish the price was a little bit lower because I'd like to purchase several more of these.The only improvement I can suggest is the size of the opening in the underneath layer is not compatible with my one-piece Hollister urostomy bag, so it would be nice to have different size openings available. The garment as it is made my bag pucker up and stick straight out. I need a 3 inch opening, so I sewed a 3 inch circle with a sewing machine stretch stitch around the current opening. Then I trimmed the excess fabric close to the newly stitched circle. Works perfectly now and I couldn't be happier. It was well worth the extra work to have this confidence-boosting garment.

I have purchased two of these(albeit from 2 different Amazon sellers) and am getting ready to order a third so that I don't have to keep the wife washing them every other day! I treat them just like normal underclothes, changing them daily.This support does a wonderful job of keeping the bag from chafing your skin, adds support that exceeds a strap belt, and stops the bag from pooching out thereby giving you a slimmer look and the ability to wear a tighter fitting shirt/top. Also for those intimate times, by angling your bag sideways, this wrap completely conceals the bag in a narrow profile just by the using an additional fold on it.As for its breath-ability, I have worn this to work on 90 degree plus days with no sweat or body discomfort from it.The only negatives I have with it is that when I first purchased it, I found the instruction sheet totally confusing, and it took my wife and I about 10 minutes to finally figure it out. I also caution that I have seen where it could (but hasn't happened yet to me) catch on an object if you are pressed up against something as in leaning over a desk to reach an item, if you have a light enough shirt/top on.One disappointment that I have is that the seller of this item is claiming that they are not aware of it being available in different colors when in fact the actual article bag shows two other color options available, and those colors would be most welcome to a lot of customers like myself.

The first pic is before emptying my pouch and the last is after when it's empty. It gives great support when the pouch is full and doesn't sag. I would only use this for casual wear and not more harsh activities. My output is on the softerside so you can't tell much when it's full. The 2nd and 3rd pic show the inside of the band and how the 2nd band lays under my pouch. There is a hole to put the pouch through but it's small and I can't fit my flange(70mm) through it without it feeling like it will pop off. But my pouch feels fine and supported just in the band no need for the hole.

It feel apart at the seams the second time it was worn

This ostomy wrap doesn’t quite work if your ostomy is placed at or above the waist like mine is. However, it is better than nothing - it will hold your ostomy in place and adds some gentle pressure- but unfortunately it wants to slide down, which pulls on the ostomy apparatus and is a little uncomfortable.

Kinda works but tends to crawl up. I’ve decided to buy me a sewing machine and make my own colostomy Accessories and open an Etsy shop soon. They are selling these at over $50 and the covers at over $30 each on Etsy so I plan when I do my shop to try and do at least half that to make it affordable for people like myself. Keep an eye open for my shop my name is Sheila!! Thank you!

This stretchy, super comfortable two-layer garment keeps the pouch off your skin and provides light support, smoothing, and concealment for the pouch. It is easy to put on and take off, and the pouch can be easily accessed for emptying while you are wearing the garment. Compatible with a standard ostomy belt (like the Hollister adjustable ostomy belt). Can be used with most styles of underwear; wear it over a speedo or bikini-style underwear with a waistband that crosses under the stoma, or wear it under boxers or granny panties where the waistband crosses above the stoma. Super easy to hand or machine wash and hang to dry. Not suitable for preventing parastomal hernia but does reduce the pulling sensation of a full pouch.

Depending on which ostomy bags you have it may or may not fit them. I had to stretch out and kind of terror the spot that goes around the ostomy bag just to get it to not crumple up while I wear it and it's still crumples up while I wear it which goes against the purpose of making it so you don't see the ostomy bag.
