Spanx for ileostomy bag?

Topic Explanation
Pammer is seeking advice on wearing Spanx or a similar product to help with her round belly due to an ileostomy bag for an upcoming event.

Advice and Insights
- It's important to ensure that the Spanx or similar product does not press on the stoma too much, as it could restrict output.
- Support boyshorts underwear can be a great alternative to Spanx, providing support and keeping the pouch in place.
- Belly bands from the maternity section can offer support and keep pants up without pressing on the stoma.
- Some individuals found that pantyhose or Jockey "Skimmies" provide smoothing without causing pressure on the stoma.
- It's recommended to try different options and sizes to find the most comfortable and effective solution.
- Some individuals have experienced leaks and discomfort when wearing Spanx, so it's advised to test different options and combinations to find what works best for each person's specific situation.
