Hope you are all managing to enjoy the sunshine!

I have had my stoma since october and have been comfortably wearing jeans and trousers since which have made my bag feel fairly secure. Now the heat has arrived I have started wearing much looser clothing and my large pants don't seem to make my bag feel as secure ( it also sometimes sounds like I've got a bag of crisps taped to my middle! - maybe a bit of an exaggeration but I'm sure you know what I  mean)

I have looked online at the various options of belts ,pants with pockets and so forth but wondered if anybody had any recommendations . 

Thank you

    Hello

    Not sure what pants you are wearing Wink  But another forum member pointed me in the direction of Vanilla Blush vblush.com - who make knickers with an internal pouch in which the bag 'rests' and I have found these excelent. Give great support to the bag, are discreet and comfortable. They do a range of everyday and more colourful.

    Best wishes.

    Thanks!

    Will give them a go. I am just wearing ordinary Marks and sparks higher waisted pants. I am quite tall so they don't quite cover my bag.

    Hi, 

    I bought a couple of packs of the M and S full pants with the lace at the top. They are a bit bigger than usual but seem to hold my bag quite securely even when I have worn dresses.

    I have just been at home or to hospital but I think if I was going out out, or to work, I would not be quite as confident in a dress... not so bad in trousers and shorts. I think they were £12 for 5 pairs.

  • . I am tall and used to have the same problem so I used to wear a marks and Spencer’s strappy camisole top - they do an extra long one - which used to cover the gap if I stretched or anything. The downside is that when the weather is this warm it can feel a bit hot having 2 layers on.

    Hope you’re managing with everything else ok
