The topic is about finding comfortable ways to wear jeans after having ostomy surgery. The person asking for advice has a stoma located just to the left of their navel and is looking for practical clothing options that allow them to look presentable, especially for work in Texas. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Choose waist-height jeans instead of low-rise:
- Opt for natural or high-waist styles so the waistband sits comfortably above or below the stoma without causing pressure.
- Recommended brands include Lee Comfort Waist Jeans, Gloria Vanderbilt “Amanda” Jeans, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, Torrid jeans, H&M online jeans, pleated-front jeans, and Walmart jeggings with spandex.

2. Consider maternity or pregnancy jeans:
- These jeans have a soft, stretchy knit waistband that gently covers the pouch, providing comfort without buttons or zippers.
- Many people, including grandmothers, find these to be the most comfortable for everyday wear.

3. Look for elastic pull-up styles and stretch fabrics:
- Many stores offer pull-on jeans with an elastic waistband.
- Jeggings or jeans with a high spandex content allow for more flexibility as the pouch expands.

4. Explore alternative garments for work or travel:
- Options like black boot-cut yoga pants, Palazzo trousers, relaxed maternity skirts, and jean skirts offer comfort and space.
- Floaty or longer tops can help cover the pouch when wearing low-rise pants.

5. Use accessories and devices:
- Stoma guards can direct output downward and protect the stoma.
- Waistband stretcher tools can slightly enlarge existing jeans.
- Specialized underwear or wearing loose boxers over regular briefs can support the pouch when shirts need to be tucked in.

6. Practical tips:
- Choose tougher denim to prevent minor leaks from soaking through.
- Consider going up one or two waist sizes if tucking the pouch inside trousers.
- Use a larger-capacity pouch for longer outings or activities.
- Trying on different cuts and styles is often necessary to find the best personal fit.
