Ostomy Support Belt Recommendations Needed

This topic is about finding the right ostomy support belt or wrap that works well with vertically worn Hollister "roll-and-lock" pouches. The goal is to find something that not only provides support but also conceals the pouch, ideally with a bottom zipper. The person is looking for recommendations that can be purchased on Amazon or other platforms. Here are some suggestions and insights:

1. Hollister Adjustable Ostomy Belt
- This is a standard belt provided by Hollister and is often covered by insurance.
- It offers basic support but does not help with concealment.
- Be cautious about wearing it while sleeping if you tend to move around a lot.

2. Stealth Belt
- These can be custom-made to fit your measurements and are great for concealment, support, and active wear, including swimming.
- There is a Stealth Belt Facebook support group where users share tips.
- Some drawbacks include a narrow waistband that might fold over "love handles" and the need for frequent adjustments. Wearing it slightly loose can prevent severe pancaking.

3. Nu-Hope Support Belts
- Available in 3-inch and 4-inch wide elastic options, these belts are comfortable for all-day wear.
- The 4-inch version includes a prolapse flap to flatten the pouch and control bulging.
- These are made in Pacoima, California, and can be found through most medical-supply companies.

4. OstomySecrets Classic Wrap
- Offers everyday concealment and moderate support, often worn under regular clothing.
- Provides easier access to the pouch compared to many other belts or wraps.

5. MoviBrace / Movi Ostomy Belts
- These have wider waistband designs similar to Nu-Hope and are mainly for support or hernia prevention, not concealment.

6. CORSINEL / Tytex StomaSafe Plus
- A stretch-fabric tube garment that fully covers and conceals the appliance and is machine-washable.

General guidance:
- Determine what you need most: leak prevention, hernia support, concealment, or pouch stabilization, as no single product excels at everything.
- For maximum concealment with vertical Hollister pouches, wrap-style garments like OstomySecrets, Stealth Belt, or StomaSafe Plus are popular choices.
- For hernia or bulge support, wider elastic belts like Nu-Hope or MoviBrace are preferred.
- Always check sizing charts carefully and consider custom sizing if you fall between standard measurements.
