Best ostomy support belt recommendations?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about finding recommendations for ostomy support belts. The original poster, Bob, shares his experience with two support belts and asks for suggestions on which ones work best to help eliminate the need to order and return multiple belts.

Advice and Insights:
1. Saft N Simple offers a hernia support belt that provides added support during physical activities like walking, jogging, or weightlifting.
2. Some individuals find that support belts can cause discomfort, rashes, or movement issues, and opt for looser clothing instead.
3. Wearing a convex appliance using a belt is necessary for individuals with heavy bags to prevent pulling away, and it's important to ensure the belt is level with the appliance hooks to avoid leaks.
4. Nu-Hope support belt, Ostomy Secrets support wrap, and Ostomy Armor Waste Wick combination has been effective for one user in preventing leaks and skin irritation.
5. The hernia belt from Nu-Hope is recommended, and improvisation may help achieve the desired functionality.
6. Some individuals make their own support belts and shields to address specific needs, and they can provide guidance or pictures of their creations.
7. Athlete's foot spray has been successful in preventing red and irritated skin for one user.
8. A member asks for the name of the pink medicine used for rashes.
