Barbie Butt Fashion - Comfortable Clothes & Pool Safety Tips for Permanent Ostomy

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about "Barbie Butt Fashion: Comfortable Clothes & Pool Safety Tips for Permanent Ostomy." The user is seeking information about what a Barbie butt is, advice on comfortable and discreet clothing to wear with a permanent ostomy bag, and safety tips for laying in the pool.

Advice and Insights:
- Comfortable clothing options for ostomy bag:
- Sundresses are recommended as they provide no pressure from waistbands and can help conceal the bag if it blows up.
- Maternity jeans are suggested for their comfort and flexibility, allowing the waistband to be folded or rolled down.
- Loose tops are preferred, and high-waisted pants and skirts are favored for comfort.
- Ostomy underwear is recommended for support, particularly after eating or drinking.
- Marks and Spencer's men's trousers are suggested for their high cut and roominess.

- Pool safety tips:
- Use hernia protection waistbands to keep the pouch in place and be supportive while laying by the pool.
- Consider wearing one-piece bathing suits with ruching along the side to hide any bulge from the bag.
- Switch to a mini bag while at the pool and consider wearing a wrap under the bathing suit to give the bag support and keep it close during pool activities.

- Personal experiences and positive outcomes:
- Some users have found that the Barbie butt operation improved their quality of life considerably by removing health issues and resulting in a smoother existence.
- The colostomy gave confidence back to some users, allowing them to wear closer-fitting clothes and changing their lives for the better.

- Additional clothing recommendations:
- Consider looking for maternity trousers and swimwear for comfort and practicality.
- Consider wearing hernia protection waistbands under bathing wear, which can be worn in water and provide support.

- Humorous insights:
- The term "Barbie butt" refers to when the rectum and anus are removed, resulting in a backside sewn up, similar to a Barbie or Ken doll's lack of genital markings.
