Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't like my wayward stoma. No one else seems to mind. So, I just let it go and not stress about it.

My big question is, how to keep the bag from flopping around during the ride? Tie it down with a scarf or something?

Hi, if you have read the previous messages above, you will see what people suggest.

Some good advice.

Tube tops, stealth belts. Crazy glue... just kidding. 😁

Thank you. I thought I had read all the comments, but it turned out there were more after an ad that I didn't scroll far enough past.

No worries. I have always said this web design is a bit confusing. You learn more as you read and respond. It's a good bunch of people. Welcome.

Says the man, with a crazy feline. You know crazy, don't you?

Too true... too true.

My cat says I'm too lazy to be crazy.

Disagreeing, I'd say her outlook is too hazy.

Into the wall she darts,

To avoid eye-watering stoma farts.

Your cat speaks? Therefore, you are the cat whisperer. 😆

Put on a maternity band over your bag and have at it! Ostomy Secrets sells some sexy wraps made of lace. Don't worry about it; if it doesn't bother him, then just go with it like it's not even there. Focus on the sex, not the ostomy.

Mine has made noise and even pooped, but I have my wrap on. Just tune it out.
