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

Every morning when I enjoy my big cup of coffee I scroll through this site and this warm feeling just overwhelms me.
I never post anything (too shy and it feels like I don’t have anything of interest to share tbh) but I sure read a lot of posts from you guys and they are so informative, supportive encouraging and so so full of love and a big dose of humor.
I feel like part of the best family in the world (even though I am just sitting quietly in the corner lol).
I just wanted to share that feeling and say thanks to all of you for being so wonderful.
And also, please keep some fingers crossed for me this week. I have my blood test on Thursday, checking my CA 125 levels. Ovarian cancer reoccurrence fear unlocked again. I hate it!
Lots of love from Sweden
