This topic is about finding a comfortable and effective way to conceal an ostomy bag using a soft, stretchy hip-wrap. The goal is to have a wrap that stays in place, especially when wearing shorter tops or when the pouch can't be tucked into pants comfortably. A key feature needed is a silicone grip or similar non-slip element to ensure the wrap doesn't shift. The search has been challenging due to unclear product descriptions online. Here are some suggestions and insights that might help:
1. Stealth Belt: Although it comes with a higher price tag, many users recommend it for its excellent hold, comfort in warm weather, and durability. It's suitable for work, exercise, and everyday activities.
2. Ostomysecrets Wraps: These wraps tend to soften and loosen after a few days of wear but regain their snug fit after washing. They are great for layering, especially in colder weather.
3. SilOstomy Wraps: These are particularly noted for accommodating very low stomas, which other wraps might not fit as well.
4. CIU International Custom Belts: Based in the UK, these belts are open-ended and fasten with Velcro. They are made to user specifications, allowing for adjustment with each wear to prevent permanent stretching. They offer a variety of styles and are available for export.
5. Maternity Belly Bands:
- Generic bands available at Target.
- "Maddie Moo Belly Band Seamless Maternity and Postpartum Shirt Extenders" available on Amazon. This is an affordable 3-pack option used to hide a urostomy bag.
6. Lycra Bicycle/Ride Shorts: These high-waisted shorts are an inexpensive and stretchy alternative, perfect for training or wearing under uniforms to keep the pouch flat during movement.
