Looking for Stoma Guards Compatible with Belts

This topic is about finding a suitable stoma guard that works well with a belt, especially after a stoma has been relocated to a higher position. The person is looking for a protective cover that can provide firm protection against the pressure of a belt on the stoma. Here are some suggestions and experiences shared by others:

1. Stealth Belt options:
- Stealth Belt offers an add-on cushion or neoprene "impact pad" that can be placed between the pouch and clothing. This helps to soften the pressure and reduce noise.

2. StomaGear products:
- The StomaShield from StomaGear is a rigid plastic shield with side cushioning. It comes with three different shield sizes and interchangeable padding thicknesses.
- Users have found it comfortable to wear a belt and tuck in a shirt while using this shield.
- If you wear a hernia support belt, the shield can be positioned over it for added convenience.

3. IGGIE Clip technique:
- Folding the pouch upward and securing it with an IGGIE Clip can shorten the bag, keeping it from hanging below the belt line.
- Adding a small magnet to the IGGIE Clip can prevent accidental opening.
- Many users rely on the IGGIE Clip to keep the drain rolled up, reduce visibility when shirts ride up, and avoid any potential embarrassment.
