I cut a small hole in all of my A-shirts (wife beaters) for my appliance to slip through. All you need is a small hole because the material stretches, and it's easy to find your stoma center with the shirt on. I see other possibilities here as well, for men and women alike!

By the way, I would never harm my wife 😊
I did that with my base layer shirt that I wear duck hunting so I could tuck it in.
Yup. I've done that with a black dress shirt I use for funerals. Combined with a black bag cover, and keeping my jacket on, no one is the wiser. You can also make the hole about a 1/4" smaller, roll over and sew the edge (with a zig-zag stitch) and the threads around the hole won't unwind and make a mess over time. But you really should ask your doctor if you can use the non-safety scissors.
;O)
