Knickers Review Part 2: Comfort, Support, and Fit

This topic is about a review of ostomy-friendly underwear, specifically a pair of knickers purchased from Amazon, tested for a 12-hour period. The review focuses on how well these knickers perform in terms of comfort, support, and appearance. Here are some key points and advice shared by the reviewer and other community members:

- Comfort: The knickers scored a 9 out of 10 for comfort. They are very comfortable, though the reviewer mentioned that a slightly longer leg length would make them perfect.

- Support: They received a perfect score of 10 for support. The knickers securely held the ostomy bag in place, even with a little air and baby oil added, preventing any pancaking.

- Eliminate add-ons: Scored a 9. The reviewer wore a nylon panty for a smoother feel, but this might not be necessary for everyone.

- Minimize bulge: They scored a 7 in this area. The knickers noticeably reduced the pouch profile, allowing T-shirts to drape better.

The reviewer plans to continue using tights or skinny jeans for daily wear at home but will choose these knickers for dressing up. They provide solid support, added confidence, and an almost pencil-skirt look. The knickers are also available in black, and the reviewer encourages all ostomates, regardless of gender, to use whatever products work best for them.

Additional insights from the community include:

1. Some members requested the exact product name or link to help users outside the U.S. find similar products. Clarification on posting rules was appreciated.

2. There was interest in the black version of the knickers, with members agreeing that black is a good option and is available.

3. An 81-year-old member, who has been an ostomate for three years, recommends a double-layer ostomy support belt for outings. At home, they simply tuck the pouch between their underwear and sweats or jeans.

4. The general consensus is that sharing specific product information, while respecting forum rules and safety, helps others evaluate their options. Users are encouraged to adopt any garment or accessory that offers them comfort, support, and confidence.
