Hello, I'm looking to purchase a support belt/wrap. I wear the roll and lock Hollister bags in the vertical position.

Can anyone recommend one off Amazon? Or elsewhere?

That would be great, thank you.

I don't wear a belt very often, but when I do, it is the Hollister. It's covered by my insurance. Here is an Amazon link. I just don't recommend wearing the things when you are sleeping, especially if you are a tosser like me. And I don't mean a tosser in the Brit sense of the word! :-)

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!

Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.

This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!

Oh, thank you. I already have the Hollister support belt, a few actually.

I'm meaning the concealment style support wraps with the zipper at the bottom.

I am planning on purchasing a Stealth Belt. They can be made to your specs. I joined their FB support group also.

I use Nu-Hope 3 and 4 inch wide support belts. Comfortable enough to wear all day.

The 4 inch wide belt has a prolapse flap. The flap goes over your stoma bag to flatten it. Works well. Helps hold down my big ostomy bulge.

Nu-Hope is in Pacoima, California. Available through most medical supply companies.

Very helpful

I think you first have to figure out what you need or what you want it to do. Do you want it to help keep your bag sealed to your body better to prevent leaks? Help against a hernia? To hide your bag? To support your bag? There's probably not one specific belt/wrap that covers every scenario. I wear an OstomySecrets wrap 99% of the time when I leave the house to support my bag and conceal it. I wear a StealthBelt for the same reasons but usually only during the summer at the lake so I can work on my tan lines. If the StealthBelt had a wider “belt” part, I'd wear it way more often, but I'm not fond of it folding over my love handles and having to adjust it a lot. I like the concept of NU Hope or Movi Brace ones with a wider belt, but they don't conceal/support your bag. So, figure out what you want/need, and you can narrow down your search.

AlexT, thank you. Yes, I want it for all those things you mentioned. OstomySecrets wrap and the Stealth belt, I'll take a look at those :) Thank you.

I use Corsiol Tytex Stoma Safe Plus. They are washable. I've always wanted to try the Stealth Belt that others have tried.

I like the idea of the Stealth Belt. However, if I don't wear it extremely loose, it causes some disastrous pancaking.
