I have begun to really like adhesive-coupled wafers and pouches. They don't support ostomy belts since that could pull the coupling apart. It would be nice to have a way to add further support for the pouch. I use flange extenders and they work fine. There are wraps that are advertised as supporting the pouch. Do these wraps provide support without connecting around the flange/wafer? Is anyone using support for adhesive-coupled appliances?

Hi, I don't use the adhesive ones but have tried them, so I know what you are referring to. I have several stealth belts that I have found are comfortable and work well to support the bag and take the weight off of the flange. There are no clips, so they are fine with the adhesive-only type. They just need the measurement around the flange plate so they can tuck behind it. They are stretchy, so they will fit over and then sit behind it. I also find them easy to wear with the bag horizontally, so it's more out of the way. Hopefully, that helps!

I use a two-piece system. Ordered Wirarpa undies from Amazon. Stretchy. There are two types, one with a narrow top band and one with a wider band. I use the wider band. The pouch gets tucked under the undies and is held securely in place.

I use a Stealthbelt with a SenSura Mio Flex appliance. It's an adhesive-attached pouch.

Which Stealthbelt are you using? 🤔
