This topic is all about exploring the experiences of using Stealth Belts with ostomy bags that are worn horizontally. The original question was about how well these belts work and if changing the pouch from a vertical to a horizontal position causes any issues. The manufacturer suggests that these belts are great for water sports and other active activities. Here are some insights and advice shared by users:

1. Horizontal position challenges:
- Some people find that wearing the pouch sideways can make it more difficult to drain or empty, and it might even cause the appliance to loosen or pull away.
- One person mentioned that the belt can shift on the body and bunch up the pouch, making it more noticeable under clothing.

2. Custom or angled options can help:
- A user with an ileostomy, which has liquid output, ordered a custom Stealth Belt designed for a 45-degree diagonal orientation. This cost an extra $10–15, but they reported no issues with emptying and found it useful for activities like golf, swimming, or when they wanted extra concealment.

3. Fit, comfort, and sizing issues:
- Changes in weight after buying the belt can affect how it fits. One person stopped using the belt because it started to pull the bags loose.
- Even with the correct pouch dimensions, another user found the belt’s internal pocket size to be "unusual," which caused bunching and discomfort.

4. Cost considerations:
- The standard price for a Stealth Belt is around $120.
- Some users suggest asking detailed questions or waiting to buy until you’re ready for active sports or swimming to avoid regretting the purchase.
