This discussion is about finding the best belt options for people with a urostomy, which is a type of surgery that creates an opening in the body for urine to pass through. People with a urostomy often use special pouches, and finding a comfortable and secure belt to hold these pouches can make a big difference in daily life. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:
1. Coloplast Brava Belt (four-hook model made for SenSura Mio pouches)
- Costs around $20.
- For added security, you can tape the top of the pouch to your skin using Smith & Nephew Opsite Tape. This also makes it easier to remove.
- Similar four-hook belts are available from Hollister and Salts.
2. Stealth Belt
- Some people find it too tight, while others really like it.
- One user pairs it with an ostomy wrap that has pockets, which helps tuck the bag away neatly.
- Comfort can vary from person to person, and using a wrap with pockets might help with both discretion and support.
