They are exploring options after facing communication issues with one company. Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Be cautious when considering options on Amazon.ca due to potentially higher prices, unverified reviews, and unfamiliar brands.

2. Nu-Hope belts are a popular choice:

- Accurate measurements of the waist and the distance from the stoma to the midline are crucial. If unsure, ask an ostomy nurse to help with these measurements.
- These belts are available in Canada, and some members have purchased them without any issues.
- You can find them on the CanMed Direct website or by searching "Nu-Comfort Ostomy Belt + Canada" for other vendors.
- The belts are elasticized and offer some adjustability, which can help accommodate minor sizing errors.

3. Stealth belts are another option recommended by an ostomy nurse, though some have found it challenging to get information, especially for custom belts.
