This topic is about finding ways to either conceal a stoma pouch or provide it with extra support. Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Use a hernia belt. Many people with ostomies find that wearing a hernia belt gives their pouch firm support and helps reduce any bulging.

2. Try specialty wraps. OstomySecrets offers elastic wraps that are designed to hold the pouch close to the body. They also have decorative pouch covers available.

3. Make or buy pouch covers. Some individuals choose to sew their own covers or purchase ready-made ones to help disguise the pouch.

4. Wear a bandeau or tube top. Inexpensive tube tops, often found in lingerie departments, can be pulled down over the appliance to help flatten and hide it. For example, these can be found at The Bay in Canada.
