Larger Urostomy Pouches and Apparel Recommendations

This topic is about finding a larger urostomy pouch and suitable clothing options for someone who frequently empties their current pouch and prefers not to tuck in their shirts. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. For a larger-capacity pouch, consider the Coloplast SenSura Mio Flex Uro Pouch Maxi Opaque 50 mm (product #12297). Users have found that it allows about 2 hours between empties during normal activities.

2. If you need to increase the time between empties while traveling, you can connect your pouch to a leg bag. This setup can extend the time to 4–5 hours. Calf-mounted leg bags are often easier to conceal than those worn on the thigh.

3. When it comes to clothing, wearing loose-fitting sweatpants or other roomy garments can comfortably cover a leg bag. A vertical Stealth Belt or similar tube-style belt can help distribute the liquid evenly, making it possible to wear jeans or dresses with the pouch inside.

4. For general pouch management, try not to let the pouch get more than half full. This helps prevent the weight from pulling on your skin and adhesive. If needed, use a support belt or band for added security.
