Best men’s trousers

Hi Little Dave and welcome to our group.

I hope one of the guys in the group will come along and be able to help you out with some ideas. As a woman with a colostomy and urostomy and no experience of parastomal hernias this is outside my own experience, but I wanted to say hello and welcome to MacMillan and this group in particular. 

Do you wear any type of support belt to help with the hernia?

Little Dave,

I have had the same problem since Day1 (3 1/2 years ago). Every day I wear Slazenger 'sports' trousers from an outlet store, with an elasticated and corded waist and loose bottoms on the legs. no belt necessary. I have quite a few pairs of Navy Blue or Black and they are comfortable (and less that 20 quid a pair). When it comes to formal occasions I have a couple of black and blue suit jackets - reasonable quality - and when combined with a decent shirt and tie, polished shoes, cuff links, watch, etc. no-one realises that I am not actually wearing a suit. Comfort is the order of the day!

Thank you Dulac. That’s great advice, I will give the Slazengers a try!!
