This topic is about finding jeans that are comfortable and practical for people with an ostomy, specifically focusing on the Wrangler Five Star Premium Denim Relaxed Fit Jeans, model 97601SB. After struggling with traditional jeans, someone found these to be a great solution. Here are some helpful insights and advice:

- Traditional jeans often have a rise that is too short, which can press on the stoma and cause issues with the pouch. The Wrangler jeans have a deeper rise and a U-shaped crotch, providing more room for the pouch to expand comfortably.
- These jeans look like regular denim, so there's no need to opt for oversized or less stylish options. They are comfortable for sitting, bending, or twisting.
- The jeans are available at Walmart for about $16, making them an affordable option.
- The fit is ideal if the stoma is about 2 inches below the navel, as the higher rise keeps the waistband above it, preventing pouch compression.
- Only the Wrangler model 97601SB has been tested, so fit may vary with other models.
- For women, it's unclear if there's a specific version, but checking the Wrangler website or trying the men's cut might be worthwhile if the size fits.

Additional advice includes:

1. Where to buy: Besides Walmart, other retailers might carry these jeans.
2. Sizing tip: Always try jeans on, as online listings often don't show rise measurements.
3. Women-specific options:
- Lee Riders and LL Bean jeans with partial elastic waists.
- Torrid jeans, available in women's sizes 10-30, with a roomy waistband and online ordering.
- Gloria Vanderbilt “Amanda” stretch jeans, available in various colors and designs, sold at Farm & Fleet and other retailers.
- Stretch or elastic-waist "legging"-style jeans for lightweight comfort.
4. Additional fit work-arounds:
- Consider buying one waist size larger and using suspenders to prevent the jeans from cutting across the pouch.
5. International purchase: For those outside the U.S., like in New Zealand, search online retailers for the Wrangler model 97601SB or contact Wrangler customer service for purchasing links.
6. Measuring before purchase: Measure your waist above the stoma to ensure the waistband will sit comfortably over the appliance.
