Anyone else have clips always ending up between your legs?
Always adjusting things, looking like a perv, when I want to sit down...
Are my pouches too long? Am I too short?
Do they make pouches for short people?

How do you keep clips from wandering?
I used a drainable pouch for a few years and it seemed the bottom closure did that too. It was painful! I changed to a non-drainable and there is no closure or clamps! It is heaven!

Hi Sherr,
Sorry, can't relate. Your stoma must be lower than mine, as I've never had that problem... but it sounds like a terrible problem to have. The simple solution would be to wear your bag sideways instead of vertically. Take a look at Stealth Belts or similar, as they come in both horizontal and vertical varieties.
Regards,

I used to hate those plastic closure clips used to dig in my 'you know what down there' every time I was bending down and out walking. Lucky I was never arrested for having my hand down my pants moving clip out the way lol..... It was a great relief when I started using pouches with velcro closures about 20 years ago. Instantly solved my problems.
Hi, I am not quite 5'2. I fold my pouch upwards. My panty holds it secure.
Hi, as Morning Glory says, I use the Velcro fastening bags and once closed I fold it up once again and my pants hold it secure. I'm only 4ft 11in and it works for me!
