Seeking a Dual Ostomy Support Belt with Custom Features

This topic is about finding a suitable support belt for someone who has both a urostomy and a colostomy. These are located at the same horizontal level on the body, which presents a unique challenge. The person is looking for a belt that can provide support to both stomas without causing issues.

Here are some key points and advice shared by others:

- The urostomy is recessed and requires extra support, but surgery to address this is not currently an option.
- The colostomy is complicated by a parastomal hernia, leading to bulging and frequent leaks. Surgery is not yet recommended, and the person wishes to avoid it if possible.
- Any belt used must be able to accommodate both stomas at the same time, as placing a belt over one will cover the other.
- Attempts to contact a company known for dual-ostomy solutions resulted in an automated message directing back to their website, which was not helpful.

For those in a similar situation, here are some suggestions:

1. Consider purpose-built dual-ostomy belts, which are designed to support two stomas simultaneously.
2. One option is the "Double Ostomy Belt" available at OstomyBagHolder.com, made by Ostomy Bag Holder.
3. Another option is the "Adult Double Ostomy Belt – Ostomty Pouch," which was previously available on Etsy. It might be worth checking its availability or contacting the seller for custom orders.
