Looking for Stoma Guards Compatible with Belts

Topic Explanation
The discussion revolves around finding suitable stoma guards that can be worn comfortably with belts, especially after the stoma has been relocated to a higher position on the body. The original poster is looking for recommendations on products like Stomaplex, StomaGear, or similar, that can protect the stoma from being pressed by the belt and pants. They mentioned checking out the Stealthbelt but found it unsatisfactory for their needs as it does not provide the necessary support against the pressure from pants and belts.

Advice and Helpful Insights
1. Stealth Belt Options:
- Stealth Belt offers a cushion or neoprene accessory that helps protect against impacts and can also muffle noises. This might be a viable option to consider for added protection.

2. StomaGear StomaShield:
- StomaGear's StomaShield is highly recommended by a user who recently underwent Urostomy surgery. The product comes with three shield sizes and various thicknesses of padding, allowing for customization and comfort. It is designed to enable the wearer to use a belt and tuck in their shirt without discomfort.

3. Additional Accessories:
- The IGGIE Clip is suggested as a tool to help manage the ostomy bag by folding it up, which can aid in wearing clothes more comfortably and discreetly. This clip can be modified with a magnet to ensure it stays closed once the bag is folded.

4. Considerations for Special Cases:
- For those wearing a hernia support belt, it is queried whether the StomaShield could be worn over the support belt, although no direct advice or experience is shared regarding this specific setup.
