Best Bag for Use with a Stealth Belt?

Choosing the right ostomy pouch to use with a Stealth Belt can be a bit of a puzzle, especially if you're new to this. The Stealth Belt is a supportive garment designed to hold your ostomy pouch securely and discreetly. Here are some helpful tips and insights from experienced users:

1. Most people find that almost any pouching system, whether it's a one-piece or two-piece, can work well with a Stealth Belt. The key is to ensure it is sized correctly.

2. When it comes to sizing, there are a couple of important things to keep in mind:
- Make sure the stoma hole in the Stealth Belt matches your flange size perfectly.
- Choose the right belt waist size so it fits snugly around you.

3. If you use a one-piece pouch, a vertical Stealth Belt is usually the preferred choice.

4. For those using a two-piece system, you have the flexibility to choose either a vertical or horizontal Stealth Belt. You can rotate the bag horizontally or keep it vertical, depending on your comfort and preference.

5. The diameter of the flange is only a concern if it doesn't fit within the available hole sizes of the Stealth Belt.

6. An active user, such as someone working in a shipyard, firefighting, or commercial fishing, shared their experience of wearing a Stealth Belt almost all the time. They change their pouch every four days, experience only minor leaks, and although they find the belt a bit pricey, they believe it's worth the investment.
