Best support belts for work and sleep?

This discussion is about finding the best support belts for people with an ileostomy, especially for work and sleep. One person, who has tried several options, is looking for advice on which belts work best and what their pros and cons are. Here are some insights shared by others:

1. A vertical StealthBelt has been reported as trouble-free by one user, suggesting it might be a reliable option.

2. Ostomysecrets wraps are noted for their ease of use. You slip them on like underwear, and they have a belt section that Velcros closed, making them comfortable and simple to manage.

3. A 5-inch belt supplied by the NHS is used by another member specifically for lifting or carrying heavy items, indicating it provides good support in those situations.

4. The Pouchwear diagonal belt is praised for preventing pancaking because the pouch sits at a downward angle. It doesn't have a zipper but uses a flap for quick access. It's secure enough for various activities like work, swimming, and using a hot tub. However, since it's made-to-order, shipping can take a couple of weeks.

5. A hernia belt is another option that one member relies on for support, which might be beneficial for those needing extra reinforcement.
