Thank you for putting this on for us newbies to see.
My pleasure!
I’m generally new to wearing an ostomy bag (June 2021), I never thought to wear it horizontally. I like that idea.
Great content as always! ^.^
appreciate your work.. cheers
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
I use the stealth brand for surfing(SUP, ) it works pretty well. But I wear a spring wetsuit for additional support over the belt. I am allways worried about heavy contact /direct hit to ostomy.
My thought are the stealth belt runs smaller than they reccomend for size.
I am a 38 waist, bought a 42 per their sizing and it is a bit too tight.
Perfect product for what I want to do for fun. Keep on moving!!
Thanks for sharing that! Have you seen the Hybrid Stealth Belt? It should offer more protection without being bulky like a stoma guard. Either way, do what you feel comfortable with.
Hi, great content as always. I have recent got a SupportX belt, its tight for support but it covers the whole pouch always leaks (Bursts out due to the tightness). Im assuming thia is just a poor belt. Whats your thoughts? Paul
Hey Paul. I haven't used that belt, but does it have a hole in it or does it cover the appliance? If it has a hole and you get leaks, the hole might not be sized properly for your appliance. If it does not have a hole, then it may be creating a barrier that pushes the output back towards your skin, rather than flow down inside the bag.
I just got my stoma 2 weeks ago. So I'm totally in the learning curve. Those pouches look great. But I'm worried thant having a tight fit on the stoma would block the flow and poop would "ooze" all around the opening. Please advise.
You are right to have some concern. If your output is loose or liquid, then it's usually not a problem. If you have thicker output then you'll want to make sure that you aren't getting something too tight. Many products like this are stretchy, but even that doesn't guarantee it won't be too tight. Measure according to the manufacturer's recommendations and monitor things when you first try something new. Best of luck with everything 😁
Stoma is a belt line , any idea or help would be great. Thank you .
+Eric Guy Most common options for guys are stoma guards (so you can wear your appliance under your pants), suspenders (so there isn't a lot of pressure on your appliance), pants that have expandable waists (I own jeans and dress pants like this), or wearing your appliance horizontally with the belt line going just under the appliance (lowers the pants maybe 2").
Looking for guidance, I have a stoma fistula on either side of my stomach Looking for something that will fit both? Or give support to the stomach bag and also allow space for the smaller fistula.
Open to ideas.
You may need to contact the manufacturers directly to see what options they have, especially if they offer customized products. If you like the look of StealthBelts, they should be able to customize one for you. Best of luck!
I'm new to this but think a support would be more comfortable. I find by the end of the day the area around my stoma becomes very uncomfortable.
I like support products, but don't wear them all the time. You'll get to know what works for you. Just give it some time 😉
Ostomy flange leakage problun. Please provide good quality of ostomy bag and flange
You have to try different samples to see what works best for you. I would also highly recommend that you speak with an ostomy nurse who can make sure that the wafer is being put on properly.
I have a Stealth Belt pro and my zipper just broke I’ve only had it less than a year.
That's a shame, but zippers should be easy to fix. Give StealthBelt a shout and see what your options are.
Hi sir how and where to order this support product? Thank you in advance
Hi Jhoann, it depends on the product and country, but I do have a list of companies who sell these products: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
My father had an urostomy but with two stoma bags... is there a special belt for that?
Yes! Some manufacturers offer products for two stomas and many will custom make their existing products to suit two stomas! Depending on where you live and what specific type of product you're looking for, it shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on them.
@@VeganOstomy thank you so much, I will keep looking. I'm from Romania, but I'm sure I can find something around Europe that they also ship.
Thanks again for the helpful content, I am learning a lot
Look around for suppliers in the UK. There are many who make these products and accessories. Best of luck!
How can I buy the third product?
would you mind telling me ?
Unfortunately, the company who made that one went out of business. I do recall seeing a knock off on ebay a while ago, but I can't speak to the quality of that one.
These products are not available Amazon or flipkart or any online store in India, can you please help me how to get them, I am ready to transfer money if anybody courier to my address in India..
I have a list of companies who supply products like these. You will have to see which ones will ship internationally, but most will: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/

Hi Jose, it depends on where you live, since many of these products aren't sold internationally. I do have a list that might help you narrow down a few options: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
Search "support" when you are on that page, and it will give you all the companies who sell these products.
How to order?
Hi Gerrard. You'd have to contact the manufacturer or your local ostomy supply dealer to see what's available. Some products ship internationally, but some may not. Good luck.
Hello I need size 60 is no in my country of Iraq
Hello, I suggest contacting various manufactures who make these products to see if they ship internationally. Most do. Good luck!
Where can I purchase a stealth belt pro and how much do they cost?
You'll want to order from the official website at www.stealthbelt.com/. Pricing will depend on the style and if you need any customization to the belt.
@@VeganOstomy Thank you
Will a stoma guard fit in a stealth belt
Some, very slim hard stoma guard styles will fit, but I'd suggest the hybrid/neoprene StealthBelt if you need some protection. Alternately, StealthBelt offers neoprene inserts that work with their belts.
@@VeganOstomy Thank you
pls price and i need
You'll need to get in touch with a company that sells these products. Prices can vary depending on the style and availability.
How to buy i m from India
Many companies will ship internationally, so you might want to contact the company directly. I have a list of companies who sell these kinds of products, but I'm sure others are available in your country: www.veganostomy.ca/ostomy-clothing-manufacturers/
