Suspenders as a Comfortable Alternative to Belts

For those that can not wear a belt or dont want the pressure around the belly stoma area here is what i have been wearing for a few years now.You can find these suspenders with triggers in different styles. I like the triggers because the ones with clamps always come loose.Of course i usually wear Levis and surprisingly they do not rip the belt loop like i thought they would. The best pair i have i altered myself because i wanted a thin leather one so i bought a set and went to the local hardwear store and bought the triggers and put them on myself.

I am pleased to read about your contraption made out of suspenders. You seem to be quite an innovative ostomate. I too did the same thing,  such an arrangement becomes very convenient. As you mentioned I too had to to some alteration by fixing two clips at each end to connect them to the loops of the pouch. Generally I manage to make two improvised belts out of one set of suspenders.

Hi there Swiffer, I know its been a long time since you originally posted this, but am very interested in the "trigger" you refer to. I also wear suspenders or braces as we call them here but the only problem I find is that the clasps (trigger) keeps coming loose. I also wear Levis most of the time but have resorted to dungarees for work as they're more comfortable and won't fall down. Thanks again, Colm
