First week using a urostomy. What kind of women's slacks do you buy that make it easy to deal with a urostomy bag? Love that big bulge at the side of my leg.

This may be a challenge… I had no idea a pouch was located on the side of the leg??????
My ileostomy pouch is located next to my belly button, so as my hernia grows, so does my belly. Currently, I mostly wear tights with long, loose tops, which works for now… the tight pants restriction actually feels more comfortable than loose pants.
I am wondering if you can locate the pouch high up on the leg/thigh and cover it with a long top, or perhaps it's very low - like I said, I had no idea of locations - I didn't even discover ostomies until after I got one in emergency surgery.
If low, the good news is bell bottoms are back! Guess I should have Googled urostomy info first… you are probably shaking your head and laughing at my response right now - go ahead - I deserve it! jb
