I am in my mid-60s, had to have a permanent colostomy 4 years ago, and asked my surgeon to keep it away from my waist-belt line if at all possible - well, of course, it's positioned right on my belt line - ugh! Needless to say, like many of us, finding pants that work can be a bear, and the fact that I am 6' 7" tall doesn't make it any easier.
The first product I found that helps immensely is the STOMA DOME stoma guard. While I don't need it with athletic wear/lounge pants, it's a lifesaver when wearing regular slacks and jeans.
Then about 3 months ago, I tried something I have never tried before - stretch jeans. After a lifetime of good old cotton denim, Levi's and Lee jeans, I always looked at stretch jeans as something women wore, as they like to show off their curves, etc. I can assure you, no one wants to see my curves!
Well, I saw an ad for jeans that really caught my eye; it was for THE PERFECT JEAN COMPANY. Now, this ad was not aimed at someone my age or with my particular needs, but I thought to myself that this might work - and even better - they had my size available, not something that happens very often. I just hoped they looked like jeans, not some synthetic, ugly pants described as jeans.
Well, these jeans have been a godsend. Great choice of colors, a bit on the 'high-waisted' side (perfect indeed!), good looking, and free returns allowing you to dial in to your body without added expense. These jeans stretch even more than I thought they would, and I love them. I just donated every old pair of jeans I have and couldn't be happier!
I have also tried .511 Tactical jeans and while they were certainly better than regular cotton jeans, The Perfect Jean Co. jeans are a huge step up... Hope some of you find this helpful...
