Hello! I am wondering if any females have issues finding a good pair of jeans. Since the trend is low rise..... I am NOT interested in wearing high rise "mom jeans" !! LOL Any tips on a great pair of fitting jeans for an ileostomate?

Hi there flipflopgal,cute name....I wear a few lower cut jeans.And all I have to do is make sure the top covers the bit that the jeans miss.They are not as comfy as the normal high cut jeans,but it is a fashion thing hey.Unfortunately my stoma isnt low enough to go without a longer top.So its the top or no low cut pants...Mmmm! let me think...nah stick with the tops like I do.Good luck hope you find what your looking for..I'll keep an eye out as I would be interested as well...cheers Tara

Hi,hi!
I do pretty much like Tara here. As you said, the fashion tends to be low-rise so I always end up trying a bunch and then take the ones that are slightly higher. I wear tank top that are longer with pretty much anything I wear and I like to get myself some sort of waist band it my top is limit. Either it is a tube type of top that I wear underneath or I get like there are some panties that are high-waist (I hate them so I do not wear them like this, I cut the bottom part and use them as a tube, its cheaper). Anyway... sorry I am don't have any real suggestions for what it is of a brand or type of pants.

I go for lowish cargo style but wear a long "vest" ( a pretty one which wouldn't mind being seen) then tops can sort of fall on the join. Blouses with lacy trims or a slight flare at the waist ok. Also tunic style tops over soft folded top pants are comfy and fashionable. Hope this helps....a good question.

Hi
like everyone else I too wear a little vest top long enough to go over the jeans or else tucked into jeans then have my proper top over this, and it seems to work ok, although some are more comfortable than others. Don't know if you are from the uk, or not but "Next" do a high waisted jean which I also have and they are not sooo mumsy looking, I have worn them out clubbing.

Hi I have had luck at Old navy .... I believe the high waisted ones are called.. the sweetheart jean...
I always where lose empire shirts now.. and full brief panties.. they are hard to find but when i get the i stock up.. there is another suggestion I have I used to by maternity undies cause they were high to go over and more comfy I just like having everything tucked in..lol
