Eau = life

This topic is all about creating stylish and sexy fashion options for people with ostomies. The goal is to help ostomates feel confident and attractive, whether they're swimming, enjoying a romantic moment, or just going about their daily lives. The focus is on fashion that enhances sex appeal rather than discussing medical aspects of ostomies.

Here are some ideas and insights shared:

1. Confidence and the attitude of a partner can be more important than the pouch itself. Many people feel sexy in comfortable fabrics like flannel, as long as the ostomy appliance is clean and well-camouflaged.

2. Simple lingerie adaptations can make a big difference. For example, cutting the crotch out of well-fitting panties can help secure the pouch while still allowing easy access.

3. Tops that cover the mid-section but allow for shoulder or chest exposure can be both stylish and practical. Options like V-neck thin tees, button-down shirts, and tight tube-style strapless halter tops can provide access while concealing the ostomy area.

4. Some find that going without underwear, except for the ostomy area, works well since that region typically isn't a focus of stimulation.

5. There is interest in a future clothing line that includes both day and evening wear. Some specific ideas include:
- Jeans with an integrated security/support belt for the pouch.
- Shirts that don't ride up or cling over the stoma, avoiding a maternity wear look.
- For men, lightweight supportive mesh undershirts to stabilize the appliance under low-rise jeans, and alternatives to tucked-in golf shirts or basic tees.
