Wear one or both. I have a small hernia under my stoma. Well, a stoma is a hernia. I wear a Nu-hope hernia belt with a hole for my bag. I also wear an ostomy wrap from Ostomysecret. I own two wraps. One is a swimming wrap, the other is a daily wrap. I wear the swimming wrap during the day over the hernia belt. The swimming wrap is not as wide as the daily wrap. I wear the daily wrap to sleep in.

Very helpful

I also wear boob tubes... nowhere near my boobs, though! As a female, a boob tube that is my correct size is also the right size when I drop it down to hip level. I have them in various colors also.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

I love Stealth Belts. I wear the slip on for daily use, and the velcro Pro style when I play pickleball for more protection. I wear them horizontal style, which is very comfortable because I don't have a bag hanging down and poking me.

I also wear an Ostomy Secrets wrap sometimes when I'm just running to the store or something, to have the bag secured in a pocket, rather than hanging loose. This is also a good option for intimacy to keep the bag out of the way.
