How to Wear a Tux Shirt with a Stoma Bag?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about how to wear a tuxedo shirt with a stoma bag for a formal event. The original poster is seeking advice on how to conceal the stoma bag while wearing formal attire for an upcoming wedding.

Advice and Insights:
1. Consider using an Ostomysecrets wrap or an Ostybelt to support and conceal the stoma bag under the shirt.
2. Some individuals prefer to modify their shirts by cutting a hole for the bag to stick through and then slitting the shirt under the bag to fully tuck it in. This method can be combined with wearing a black bag cover to make the bag inconspicuous.
3. Another option is to have the trousers a size or two larger in the waist and use suspenders (braces) to hold them up, allowing plenty of room for the bag to fit under without being restricted.
4. If the trousers are not large enough, consider having them let out by a seamstress or tailor to accommodate the stoma bag.
5. For individuals with a stoma at the pants line, a device like the EZflo Waistband by StomaFlo can be used to wear any kind of trousers or pants and a belt, allowing the shirt to be tucked in and covering the top of the waist.
