Hello. I am new here and have what may seem like a silly question. I would like to find a belt that can be worn between the flange and the pouch so I do not have to be so reliant on the flange adhesive.

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.

Hi slw,
I don't think the ostomy barrier/bag suppliers make such a belt, as theirs attach to the sides of the barrier. What you're asking for, if I'm reading you right, is a belt that goes over the barrier and applies pressure to the barrier... and then the bag clips on over that. What you're describing would be a hernia belt with a hole cut in it for the lip of the barrier (and bag attaching point) to pass through. Most of those types of belts are pretty wide, like 3-4 inches, and made of elastic material. Click the link below and scroll down to see the two types of belts I'm talking about or do a Google search for "ostomy hernia belt" and you'll see what's available.
;O)

If you’re expecting a child, it’s an exciting time for you and your family. And there’s no reason why having a stoma should negatively affect your pregnancy.

Agree with the above. The Stealth Belt had a pretty good reputation, but I could not get service.
You might also consider (link below; the one I typed didn't work. The link below is the belt I have, but I have 2 ostomies, so you won't want that one. I trust you can navigate the site from there.🤣)
I have one of their belts and the Nu Hope belt. Both work fine, but I really prefer the linked one.

I think this is what he meant: "between the flange and bag."
If so, I will provide info.
If not, my bad. 😌
