This topic is about finding the right kind of supportive underwear for someone with a parastomal hernia. The person is trying out a new style of high-support underwear they found on Amazon, hoping it will provide comfort and support without needing additional hernia belts. They also want it to help minimize the appearance of the hernia and ensure there's enough space for the pouch to function properly. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

- Some people with ostomies choose to wear high-compression underwear only when they need a very low profile, like when wearing tight clothing. For everyday comfort, they might switch to less restrictive options like hipster panties or loose tops to ensure the pouch can flow freely.

- Those who have recently had surgery find that maternity underwear offers gentle support and smooths the abdomen. It avoids irritating any incisions but might still give a slightly pregnant appearance.

- There is interest in underwear specifically designed for ostomies, which includes an internal pouch that supports the bag without flattening it. Regular underwear can sometimes feel too tight when the bag is tucked inside.

- Someone in the discussion asked for the specific Amazon product link so others could check out or buy the same supportive underwear.
