Beach Attire - Keeping Dry Under a Bathing Suit

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about finding ways to keep an ostomy pouch dry while swimming or at the beach. The original poster is seeking advice on whether there are any methods to ensure the pouch stays dry under a bathing suit.

Advice and Insights:
- StealthBelt, a neoprene belt for swimming, is recommended by some users to keep the pouch dry.
- Using an old elastic band from a pair of underwear to secure the tail end of the pouch can help prevent it from becoming unsecure when wet.
- Some users suggest flipping the tip of the bag up and taping it above the wafer, then using a stoma wrap and a T-shirt on top to keep the pouch dry.
- Adding extra security to the end that opens, such as using Micropore Surgical Tape on top of the Velcro, is advised, especially in a pool.
- A wrap by Ostomy Secrets is recommended by a user for keeping the pouch secure while swimming.
- Some users suggest using pink tape around the base of the pouch for added security.
- Mini binder clips can be used to secure the clamp, and the curved side pieces can cover the outer edges for more security in the water.
