Need advice on clothing to conceal ostomy bag?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on clothing to conceal an ostomy bag. The user is looking for specific advice or suggestions on clothing and products that can help conceal the ostomy bag, especially when it starts to fill up and becomes more noticeable.

Advice and Insights:
- Ostomysecrets.com offers a classic wrap that smooths and flattens the area, available in black, white, and tan, and is reasonably priced.
- Phoenix makes an ostomy belt that is comfortable and has a system for controlling and concealing the bag.
- Consider buying modern trousers or skirts in a size up, choosing the right style and pattern to hide the bag, and wearing loose-fitting undergarments for comfort.
- Some individuals use homemade pouches made of a handkerchief sewn onto an elastic band to support the ostomy bag, and wear long shirts to hide the pouch.
- Low-waisted jeans with soft denim and waistbands that won't bother the flange opening can be comfortable, and high-waisted panties can help hold the bag against the stomach.
- PouchWear Sleek from ostomybagholder.com is seamless, muffles gas, and covers the entire bag for comfort and security.
- Maternity clothes, particularly pants with elastic bands, can provide extra support and room for the expanding bag, and can be complemented with blazers for a professional look.
- Low-rise jeans, bikini panties, and camisoles with built-in bras can be comfortable and least restrictive, and Spanx can work well in keeping everything flat.
- Wearing stretchy cotton camisoles can keep everything smooth and flat, especially when paired with mid-rise jeans.
- No update on the user's progress was provided in the replies.
