This topic is all about finding high-waisted pants that are both ostomy-friendly and stylish. If you're looking for pants that accommodate an ostomy bag comfortably while still looking good, here are some helpful insights and advice:
- Look for high-waisted pants that sit above the stoma. This design helps in providing comfort and security.
- A polyester/cotton blend with side pockets is a good choice for material, offering both comfort and practicality.
- Consider buying pants one size larger than usual. This allows the pouch to expand discreetly without being noticeable.
- Be mindful of the cost. These pants can be pricey, so it might be wise to purchase them during sales.
Some brands and shopping tips to consider:
1. Saint + Sofia offers high-rise trousers that you can find online.
2. Spier & Mackay is noted for their "dressy day" wear options.
3. Boot Barn provides a more casual high-waist option.
4. Always check for a 30-day full-refund return policy when shopping.
5. High-waisted pants are back in style, and they can look great on men too.
Additional advice and insights from the community:

- In the UK, Chums offers high-waisted trousers with a draw-string waist that comfortably cover a colostomy.
- CUI Wear is another brand that produces male ostomy underpants.
- A common tip is to go up one size in any trousers to give the bag room and keep the front smooth.
