Seeking Tummy Control Vests for Ostomy Bag Concealment

The topic is about finding tummy-control garments that can discreetly cover an ostomy bag, especially when wearing dresses or skirts. The goal is to prevent the bag from bulging and to help the wearer feel smooth and confident in fitted clothing. Here are some suggestions and insights:

1. OstomySecrets.com
- The "Classic Wrap" is available in black, white, and taupe for around $30. It features an inner pocket to hold the pouch, keeping it off the skin and maintaining its shape after washing.
- Their underwear and wraps are highly praised, with many users wearing them daily or for special occasions.
- A thong version is available to eliminate panty lines, though it rises high in the back and has a decorative peephole that might show if a top becomes untucked.
- Consider buying multiple sizes (S, M, L) to accommodate any weight changes.
- Without an OstomySecrets garment, tight jeans might press on the appliance and cause leaks.

2. Trendy Top
- This As-Seen-On-TV product is sold in 2-packs for about $10 at CVS.
- It is a thick, snug tube that can flatten the pouch and feels soothing on a tender abdomen, but it does not have a pocket to secure the bag.

3. Comfizz Waistbands
- Available in men’s and ladies’ versions, offering gentle support and coverage. You can find the Level 1 support band on their website.

4. High-waisted light-control underwear
- Off-the-shelf shapewear briefs can smooth the area, especially useful for high stomas or long torsos.

5. General shapewear tips
- Slimming garments that extend down the thigh can be effective if purchased 2–3 sizes larger than your usual size to avoid compressing the stoma.
- Wear boy-shorts or other regular underwear underneath so the pouch doesn’t rest directly against the skin.
- Avoid anything too tight around the midsection, as excessive compression can harm the stoma or impair output.

6. Additional shopping resource
- Awestomy.com offers "really cute" ostomy-friendly garments as an alternative to OstomySecrets.
