Managing Urostomy Leg Bags with Shorts in Summer

This topic is about finding ways to comfortably and discreetly wear a 1000 ml Coloplast urostomy leg bag while wearing shorts, especially in hot weather. The person usually wears long trousers to hide the bag but is looking for solutions for when he is on holiday in the southern U.S. and plans to wear shorts. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. Consider searching online marketplaces like Amazon for affordable leg-bag covers or holders. Some users have found options for around $16, which might help in concealing the bag.

2. Look into CathWear, which is a type of catheter-management underwear. It resembles bike shorts and can be worn under regular shorts to keep the bag discreet. You can find it on the manufacturer's website or through vendors like Rehabmart.

3. Think about using specially designed shorts or underwear that have built-in pockets for the tubing and bag. These ready-made products might be more effective than trying to modify existing clothing yourself.

4. Check out YOHEYMA Nephrostomy Catheter Underwear Drainage, available on Amazon. It claims to hold up to a 2000 ml bag, which could work for a 1000 ml urostomy bag if you wear a shirt that covers the waist.

5. Keep in mind that as the bag fills, its weight can become an issue. Even bedside bags can start to pull when they are half full. To manage this, consider emptying the bag frequently or using additional support straps to help distribute the weight more comfortably.
