Keeping Ostomy Wafers Secure During Workouts

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on how to keep ostomy wafers secure during workouts, particularly for athletic individuals.

Advice and Insights:
- Pull leggings or yoga pants over the ostomy appliance for secure workout sessions.
- Use a support belt purchased through an Ostomy Association for added support during workouts.
- Consider using Coloplast's elasticized seals around the disk for added support during physical activities.
- For extreme exercise, ensure the base (wafer) fits well to the skin to prevent issues during workouts.
- Consider using a Stealthbelt and Sensura Mio Convex Coloplast bags for various physical activities, but be aware that some people may be allergic to this appliance.
- Before long bike rides, put on a new bag and use waterproof Hy-tape for added security.
- Consider trying out different ostomy appliance brands for workouts, such as Cymed, and request samples to find the best fit for physical activities.
