This topic is about finding the right activity belt for someone with a colostomy who is getting more physically active. The person is particularly interested in the Stealth Belt and similar products, and they want to know how these belts perform during activities like scuba diving and everyday wear. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

- The belt should be secure and reliable, especially during scuba diving and daily activities.
- It should have a low profile under clothing to avoid drawing attention.
- Comfort and performance are important for maintaining an active lifestyle.
- The belt should help keep the appliance discreet and allow for a fit appearance.
- Confidence is key for a long-time scuba diver, ensuring no leaks or pouch exposure during dives, on boats, or in swimwear.

Advice and insights from users:

1. Stealth Belt:
- Many users consider it the best investment for comfort, concealment, and confidence.
- Custom sizing options ensure a snug fit, and the Velcro closure allows for easy adjustments.
- The triple-layer construction keeps the belt secure during various activities, and users often forget the pouch is there.
- It improves body image by flattening the abdomen and hiding the pouch under clothes.
- Look out for giveaways or discounted returns on eBay, but make sure the flange size matches your pouch.
- Be cautious of pulling the belt too tight, as it can press on the wafer and cause a "pancaking" effect. It takes practice to align the bag inside the belt so it remains invisible.
- Some users find that the barrier wear-time may be shorter compared to a direct-attach belt.

2. Small Hollister Belt:
- Costs around $10 and attaches directly to the pouch’s coupling ring.
- Easier to put on, and the pressure distribution helps wafers last about five days.
- Preferred by one racer for high-impact activities because it minimizes pancaking and is quicker to position, though it is not as concealing as the Stealth Belt.

3. Other Custom Sources:
- Websites like www.ostomybagholder.com offer fully customized activity belts similar to the Stealth Belt, with various fabric and sizing options.

General tips:

- It's helpful to have more than one belt to match different pouch styles or flange sizes.
- For swimming or diving, users reported no issues with the Stealth Belt's security in pools and the ocean. Ensure the correct fit and pouch alignment before entering the water.
- Regularly check the pouch fill level, as the belt can hide weight and drag, making it easy to forget to empty it.
