Hello All,

I am interested in other ileostomates experiences and recommendations for support garments and clothing. I have tried support belts, underwear and vests, with varying levels of success. However, in hotter weather these can be uncomfortable and cause irritation.

Can anyone offer further advice or share their own experiences?

Many thanks

    Hi

    must admit never experienced support garments that have been uncomfortable in the hotter weather or caused any irritation but I only wear support  boxer shorts and a girdle

    It might be helpful to me and others to know who makes your garments then others will tell you if they have the same manufacturer and if they have problems

    Some manufacturers make their garments in three different levels of support which might be something worth exploring.

    Many thanks for your response. I use Supportex for vests and belts and some VB undergarments. All have their advantages. Im just wondering whether the community have recommendations for other clothing or manufacturers?

    Thanks again.
