Hey ID, there are different ways for different folks depending on its location, size, how you need to dress, etc. I think if you specify your difficulty, some folks might be familiar enough to jump in and offer solutions.

MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.
I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

I ware a bandeau available from the Bay in Canada (about $15.00). It is basicaly a tube top with straps. I do not use the straps and ware it around my waist. I cut the strap loops off the front so I can tell the front from the back. It does increase the chance of pancaking and balloning because the filter gets blocked but I just do not like my bag flopping around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1JvQ8bDr_4

I made pockets in my T-shirts to hold my pouch.  From the bottom of an old T-Shirt I cut a piece about 6 by 4 and use that iron on stuff to glue it to the inside of the shirt right where the pouch would hang.  I'm certainly not a tailer but I learned to double up the sides and top of the device then use the iron on stuff.  It doesn't hide it but keeps it from flopping around.

Good luck.
