Folding and Tucking Tips for Hollister Bag Rat Tail?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about finding tips and tricks for keeping the rat tail of a Hollister bag folded up and neat. The original poster is looking for advice on how to prevent the tail from hanging down and causing discomfort when wearing certain clothing.

Advice and Insights:
- Use a rubber band through a belt hole on the pouch ring to shorten the bag without compromising storage space.
- Consider using sticky-backed Velcro to hold the tail in place and make the pouch shorter.
- Look for a wrap made of stretchy gauze, such as "Carefix StomaSafe Classic" ostomy support garment, to contain and comfortably tuck the pouch and tail.
- Try wearing a medical wrap or a tube top cut to fit to keep the tail tucked in, considering breathability.
- Tape the drain tail up, using waterproof band-aid tape or a piece of tape, after folding the bottom up to hold it and shorten the bag.
- Consider leaving the shirt untucked and letting the bag swing freely, finding curved clips from Hollister to clip the bag easily.
- For those with a hernia, wearing a belt to hold it in place might be necessary.

Conclusion:
