Looking for Ostomy Undergarments - Comfortable, Discreet, and Stylish?

This topic is about finding comfortable, discreet, and stylish undergarments for people living with an ileostomy. The focus is on garments that can hide the pouch bulge, remain comfortable during intimate moments, and look fashionable. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. OstomySecrets.com offers a wide range of women’s lingerie, including lace panties, wraps, swimwear, and intimacy wear. They also have a good selection for men. However, most items are designed for stomas below the belt-line, so those with stomas above the navel might find the wrap more suitable.

2. Stealth Belt is highly recommended for its comfort, pouch support, and protection during sports and intimacy. They offer adjustable, flip-on, and a lacy slip-on "hood" for intimate moments. Although they are on the pricier side, many find them worth the investment.

3. Nightingale Medical Supplies in Canada is another source for ostomy undergarments, providing options beyond US-based sites.

4. Etsy is a great place to explore, with many independent sellers offering handmade ostomy pouch cover-ups and supports. It's ideal for finding unique or custom styles.

5. In the UK, communities like "Purple Wings" and "Stoma in a Tea Cup" showcase stylish high-waist ostomy underwear, known as "apple-catcher" knickers, which can be purchased or used for design inspiration.

6. For those interested in DIY or tailoring:
- Convert a fitted silky long top by lowering the neckline, tapering the waist, and folding the pouch upward underneath.
- Wear panties one size larger with high sides/front to tuck in the pouch; some prefer thong styles for minimal coverage.
- Consider a stretch lace belt with a holster for the bag, available in multiple colors.
- Play background music to mask pouch noises during intimacy.

7. Everyday solutions include using pregnancy/maternity bands or simple bandeau wraps as an easy and inexpensive way to secure and conceal the appliance.

8. It's noted that products designed for men can often be adapted for women and vice-versa. Comfort, secure support, and confidence are key to maintaining an active sex life with an ileostomy.
