Seeking Affordable Colostomy Support Belts

This topic is about finding affordable stretch neoprene pull-up colostomy support belts. The original poster used to buy these belts for about £20 each but now struggles to find them at a similar price. They are looking for a belt that is wide, elastic, and can be pulled on like underwear, with a hole for the flange and a fold-over design to support and protect the pouch. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. DIY Pouch Pockets:
- Some people create their own pouch pockets by sewing or using iron-on adhesive tape to attach a fabric pocket inside a T-shirt or tank top. This helps distribute the pouch's weight more comfortably.

2. Low-Price Online Marketplaces:
- Consider checking Aliexpress for generic ostomy hernia/support belts with a pre-cut hole. These can be more affordable.

3. Commercial Brands:
- Stealth Belt and MyOstomyBagHolder.com offer fold-over styles, though they may be more expensive and involve overseas shipping.
- Nu-Hope hernia belts provide strong support and can be paired with a separate pocket or wrap to cover the pouch.
- StomaSafe Plus, available on Amazon, is a double-layer belt that holds and conceals the bag.
- Altrocare Stoma Support Wrap, also on Amazon, has a design similar to what the poster is looking for, with a hole for the pouch and a fold-over layer.
- SIIL and Corsinel brands, previously available on Amazon.de and Amazon.fr, offered light two-layer belts that might match the desired design.
- Comfizz in the UK stocks various ostomy support garments, and some users have found similar light belts there.

4. Layering Method for Extra Security:
- A suggested layering method includes wearing a cut-out tank top, followed by a Nu-Hope hernia belt, and then an Ostomysecret or similar wrap to fully cover the pouch.

5. Quick-Check Benefit:
- Belts with a simple fold-over strip allow users to discreetly lift the outer layer for a quick visual inspection, keeping the abdomen warm and the appliance secure.
