G-Day Day Bubblegum,
I suggest what the ladies call a boob tube. It's elasticated and holds it all down as well as hiding it. Go and enjoy.

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.

Ostomy Secrets has some feminine wraps. Check out their website. Also, as IGGIE mentioned, some say tube tops work for them. You can get them on Amazon, and they are quite reasonable.

I've mentioned before (and it got me in trouble when someone PMed me about it, but I should be fine because he is blocked from me and won't see this) that there are really nice lacy high-waisted panties that hold the bag close to you but have strategic cutouts so the panties never have to come off. The company I ordered from doesn't make them anymore, but I'm sure you can find some with a good Google search.

An ostomy wrap that also has an extra pocket inside to hold your bag up and out of the way.
