Comfortable Jean Shorts for Women with Ostomy

I'm just wondering if there are any easy Jean shorts that are comfortable and less likely to pull on your ostomy? Right now I'm living in athletic spandex, like the stretch.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wear shorts first and then whatever jeans you like.
Use a tube top above the bag.

All my pants have elastic waistbands. I got some nice shorts from Costco and my jeans from Walmart.

These shorts are great by Banana Republic, made of rayon and linen, with pockets. End of season price: $14.97

Jean shorts need to have some spandex, so if your bag expands, there is room.

I live in athletic shorts with an elastic waist. If you can put your bag on the outside of your pants, you will have more options. Also, you might be able to find elastic jean shorts or elastic cotton shorts if you want something a little more dressy.

I wear a lot of denim jean skirts in the summer. For modesty, you can try "skorts" (skirt and shorts combined), so they can be super short. When I do wear jean shorts, they have elastane in them and allow me to bend and move easily without dislodging my ileostomy bag. You don't have to be stuck with "mom jeans" with an obvious elastic waist. There are a ton of great styles out there, and if you find one you like, buy it in several different colors! For economy, I usually shop at Temu (the online store in China), which gives great quality in fashion at very low prices.

I like overalls and jumpers.

I've had to give up my favorite style of jeans (mid-rise, bootcut) - mainly as the mid-rise waist lays right on my stoma.

Hello, I am so sorry you have to give them up; those are my favorite kinds as well. Luckily, mine is high enough I can still get away with most of them, and when it's not low enough, I turn the waistband down, like tucking it under… I can't wear the mom jeans because I have the same problem you are having with the low rise. I wear a lot of overalls or jumpers. Maybe try turning the waistband down to see if that helps….

Hope it works for you.

I have embraced light support boy shorts with a high waist for everything. I still wear regular jeans, pants, and shorts. These are so easy underneath anything, dresses included. They keep my stoma safe and secure. I try to give my stoma as much support as possible this way. There are more high-waisted styles now than ever. I used to like low to mid-rise jeans, and that isn't comfortable anymore.
