Most are of a softer, flexible type of elastic/rubber material, depending on your purpose: hernia support or just abdominal support. There are many available, from dirt cheap to ridiculously expensive, on eBay, Amazon, etc. I have several cheap ones for training, exercising, etc.

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!

Do you think the Nu Hope belt is enough support for low-impact aerobics? I'm trying to prevent another hernia. I ordered a stealth belt.
