Hi, I have read several different posts in which people recommend different Yummie Tummie products, Spanx products, and other things such as this. I am not sure which one to get or which one works best, and these are things I don't think you can try on. My main issue is that when my bag starts to fill up, it's all at the bottom area and getting fatter and fatter. Also, when I wear jeans, the surgeon and WCON said to make sure the stoma is above the jeans, which is fine, but sometimes it doesn't work as well, and different people have suggested wearing a Spanx tank (longer one). Does anyone have more specific advice or more suggestions, even if you have told me before?



Thanks, Elena

Hi lanabana -- not sure if you have a company named Comfizz in your part of the world? They do some unisex long leg undershorts (a bit like racing cyclists wear). They are pretty good, with tummy & thigh support & keep the bag in a secure position & hugged close to the body. Although I am a male Urostomate, I feel they may be of use to any sex & any ostomy! I wear them & find them very comfortable.
