Greetings Ostomates!
So… I’m new(ish) here, joined a while back but have never posted. Got my ileostomy May of last year after decades of Crohns & two bouts of colon cancer. Happy to report I’m doing well and still here! I think I’ve adjusted pretty well to the new routine, it took a few months of testing product to land on a good appliance that lasts a solid 7+ days before swapping out, but maybe that’s TMI?
So I have a question about clothing. I’m ok living the “untucked” life, plenty of options. I wear a slim fitting tank to keep the bag flat and I made my own covers to go over the bottom half of the pouch in case my shirt “twirls up”. I just really miss wearing my shirt tucked in. Early on I got one of those belts with a rigid guard but it’s very bulky and only makes it look like I’m packing heat. Ok in TX but not NY. I’d appreciate any advice on this if its possible.
Of course I understand the answer may well be “Nope! Sorry, your shirt tucking days are over”. So there it is!
