This topic is all about finding comfortable jean shorts and other clothing options for women who have an ostomy. The goal is to find styles that don't interfere with the ostomy pouch, while still being stylish and comfortable. Here are some helpful tips and suggestions:

1. Look for bottoms with stretch. Jean shorts or pants that include spandex or elastane can expand as the pouch fills, providing more comfort.

2. Opt for elastic waistbands. Many people have found success with shorts or jeans that have full or partial elastic waists. These can be found at stores like Costco, Walmart, Banana Republic, and Temu.

3. Consider Banana Republic's rayon/linen shorts, which are lightweight, have pockets, and are roomy. They were noted to be available at an end-of-season price of $14.97.

4. Try a layering trick by putting on shorts first, then any jeans or pants you like. You can use a tube top pulled over the pouch for added coverage and to reduce any pulling.

5. High-waisted, light-support boy-short underwear can help secure the pouch while allowing you to continue wearing your regular jeans, pants, and shorts.

6. Wearing the pouch outside the waistband with athletic or elastic shorts can expand your clothing choices.

7. Explore alternative garments like denim skirts or "skorts" (a skirt/short combo) for summer comfort and easy movement. Overalls and jumpers are also great options as they keep pressure off the stoma area.

8. If the waistband of your existing jeans sits on the stoma, try folding or rolling the band down to reposition the pressure.

9. When shopping online for inexpensive and varied styles, some have recommended Temu, a Chinese e-commerce site, for stretchy jeans and shorts.

These tips aim to help you find comfortable and stylish clothing options that work well with an ostomy.
