Men's Swimwear with Waterproof Pouch Options in the US/Canada

This topic is about finding swimwear for men in the United States or Canada that includes a waterproof compartment or bag specifically designed for an ostomy pouch. Here are some helpful insights and advice for navigating this:

1. Waterproofing might not be necessary since standard wafers generally hold up well in water. The bigger concerns are heat and sweat once you're out of the pool.

2. For support and concealment, consider these options:
- Stealth Belt offers swim-friendly belts that help secure the pouch against your body while swimming.
- OstomySecrets.com provides men's ostomy wraps and specially designed bathing suits.
- High-waisted swim trunks can offer extra coverage without needing special gear.

3. For extra security:
- Use Brava Elastic Barrier Strips (Coloplast) around the wafer to keep the edges sealed while in the water.
- Consider wearing a simple fabric band or a neoprene belt for added support. Some neoprene belts are designed for water-skiers and other extreme-sport users, though specific brand names aren't mentioned.
