Hi all
Well, got to admit....the days have gone where my little G-strings and girls' boxers were in my top drawer. Rach, I have had some of those knickers you speak of....I call them my Bridget Jones pants...for obvious reasons...can see why you wear them. I go to Marks now and buy lace shorts...but buy them the next size up which makes them come a little higher, which is just perfect for my stoma.
As for jeans, which I wear most of the time, I do wear high-waisted....I have tried low-waisted but they tend to fit right through the middle of my bag, which personally I don't find comfortable.

But where do I keep the bag so it can fill up but not pop..? Ugh

I had the same issue with finding jeans. My stoma is in an odd spot. Some real nice ladies on here recommended maternity jeans. I tried it and I love them. The expandable stretchy top hugs the bag nicely and they are not tight. With a little longer shirt over them, not a soul knows. Best part is that I can go to the thrift shop and pay a third of what new ones would cost.

Are you a caregiver for a child with an ostomy? In the summer months, this can become more challenging, thanks to heat, humidity, water activities, and travel plans.

I have found that the Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jeans fit really well for me. They have a high waist and these jeans have a stretch to them. I love them. I get mine at Kohl's. I am sure you can find them online.
Hope that helps.

I found a pair of post-maternity jeans called Bounce Back. They have a stretchy panel on the top, but it is not as loose as regular maternity jeans. They are comfortable but hold you in a little bit more. I really like them.
