Tony, Tony, Tony!, regarding your question concerning mens jeans and stoma placement, I can say this. I've had an ostomy for say thirty years. After looking at my stoma, it's about an inch lower then my belly button. I'm average height and weight (33" by 34") as you didn't mention whether your the same or if that is a consideration. For years i've worn Levis 501's, but lately i've switched to 505's or 517's. As a poor person I usually only shop second hand stores as they cost almost nothing and i'm able to get vintage US made jeans. Which is important as the newer ones made in foreign countries kinda suck-cheap material and unreliable sizes. The 517's seem to have more lenght or area from the crotch on up to the belt line. The 505's fit perfect and come just past the stoma. I usually get them an inch bigger in waist size and use a decent wide leather belt. Also I recommend looking for men's dress Levis. These are hard to find as they are twenty years old now. I just look for the black and silver tab on the back pocket and then check the size. Plus at most thrift stores they have changing rooms, so you can try before you buy, or most allow returns of clothing for credit or cash back. But heck, if you can afford it, try vintage clothes stores, as this is where most of the nice, dark blue, new looking jeans end up as the thrift store "pickers" usually get the good stuff during the day. Hopefully this is helpful, as all I can say is it works for myself.  Michael Goodall.

Tony! I've had an ilyostomy for 17 years, and I were nothing but overalls, super comfy, no belt hanging on your stoma & lots of room for the bag. Get them at the used clothing store cheap!
