Hi, I have read several different posts in which people reccomend different yummie tummie products, spanx products, and other things such as this. I am not sure which one to get or which one works best and these are things I dont think you can try on. My main issue is that when my bag starts to fill up its all at the bottom area and getting fatter and fatter. also when I wear jeans the surgeon and wcon said to make sure the stoma is above the jeans which is fine but Sometimes it doesnt work as well and different people have suggest wearing a spanx tank (longer one) does anyone have more specific advice or more suggestions, even if you have told me before?



Thanks Elena

Hello I am new to the forum,

But I have had a ileostomy for over 30 years and 1/2 of those years I had urinary koch pouch, but just 6 weeks ago had to go back to a urostomy. But through it all I have experienced and learned a lot as far as how to cover up this or that. I know what work for me was girdles, they held my ileostomy bag in firm, but know that I have my urosotomy bag back I will have to get the longer girdles. But that still will not stop the bottom from getting fatter. I am just going to change the way I dress a little, more skirts, dresses, etc.. I just do what I have to do. and still be beautiful and fashionable. I have practically had these bags all my life. I am 45 and the wonderful thing is I have been doing fashion modeling for 15 years..I will be slowing down a lot now with having a urostomy bag, but I had a great time doing it..

Hi there,

I am currently on my 2nd ostomy (1 ile, colo) and what I wear any time I leave the house is the Phoenix Ostomy Support System. It only works with a 2-piece. You rotate your bag so it is horizontal and it sits right in a pouch. The pouch cover snaps so it is very easy to access when you need to empty. Check them out at www.ostomysupportsystem.com
