These pants work well with an ostomy. They are high-waisted, polyester, and cotton and have nice side pockets. The negative is the price. I only buy them on sale.
And one size larger to conceal the bag and give it room to grow.

Are you able to give us more info? Like where they are sold? Or is that not allowed here?

Hi there! Ken here from Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Do they make pants for men too? I have been searching for 5 years to find high-waisted pants. I reverted to wearing braces, but the waistline of my slacks still restricts the function of the bag.
We can send spacecraft billions of miles out into the cosmos, but we fail miserably in producing bespoke clothing for ostomy sufferers!

Hi gang,
I was thinking what a great resource this site has been for me since I found it. It would have been really helpful, but maybe a bit scary, to have found it before my ostomy, but that's water under the bridge. But I got thinking about it, and now I'm questioning why doctors and hospitals don't provide this site's contact info to any patient even considering an ostomy today. And how can we change that so potential ostomates can learn about the road ahead for them by getting on here and asking questions before the docs go chop-chop. How exactly do you get all hospitals to provide their patients specific information, like this website?
I just happened to find this site something like 4 years after my ostomy when I Googled "ostomy forum" or something like that. But I never found it during previous searches.....so I found this site pretty much by pure luck. We need to find a way to make this site available to new or soon-to-be ostomates......as that's when we really need to commiserate with fellow ostomates. Anybody have any thoughts on how we do this?
Thanks,
Bob

In England, I have bought high-waisted pants from a company called Chums that go over my colostomy and have a drawstring to fasten the waist.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

The pants are made by Saint + Sofia. Use this name to do the internet search.

These are made by Spier & Mackay for a dressy day. Also, I always go one size up to give the bag room to grow. If you purchase anything off the internet, make sure the store has a good return policy: full refund if returned within 30 days. These are called high-rise trousers.
