Looking to find a better support Belt. Currently using the small clip on one. Tried the stealth belt and didn't work for me.

I haven't tried this one so, not totally sure what it's comparable to.
I always thought it was more like a cover or wrap. I personally prefer a swim wrap form ostomy secrets for daily wear. It keeps the bag from swinging or clothes from riding up. It's not much for concealing but it can somewhat.
Are you looking for any particular feature? I also have a StomaGear stoma shield. It might be better for protection from the seatbelt or maybe even tucking the shirt into pants. I need to test it out again. It wasn't what I thought I was going to ever use but, now that I have a different wardrobe, I should retry it.

I use Nu-Hope belts. I have 2, 3, and 4 inch wide belts I wear all the time. They only come off for showering and wafer change.

I was looking at the stoma protectors, and the one I was looking at is around 268 dollars but has 3 different depths: half an inch, an inch, or an inch and a half. Being that expensive, the reason I want it is if my jeans are a little tight, I was hoping it would keep the output from mashing and allow it to go to the bottom of the bag. Do you think it would work?

I would prefer to answer after having more experience using it. I'd be concerned about a tighter jean though. I plan to test it out now that I have bigger waist pants. It wasn't working with the jeans I wore pre colostomy.
I'll get back to you in a couple days.
