The stealth belt

[Herndog]

Anyone have one? Is it worth the money? I play tennis and run was wondering if it would help. I also work in a restaurant so I squat, reach and twist a lot.

My ostomy nurse recommended it as have some in my ostomy support group. I'm thinking of getting it for swimming and intimacy.

I wish it didn't loop half the body, looks weird but I guess it lets you expose your belly button.

I've got one which I used at the beach this summer. Worked great. You just need to Velcro the back of the belt to the shorts or you show a lot of skin.

I use my Ostomysecret wraps for playing basketball and chasing the kids.

So is it mainly for swimming and water sports? I was wanting to wear it at work and playing sports.

I'm sure you wear it too for non water sports. I prefer the wraps because they are thinner.

Thanks for the info! I might have to try out the wraps also.

I nearly bought one but with having an ileostomy I got a bit concerned as it would seem the bag has to go sideways which might make things difficult, I just use a comfizz waistband which is really good, keeps everything nice and tight and hidden away nicely and they are a lot cheaper. Use it for general use aswell as when I go swimming or playing football.

They make a vertical one too.

I actually did a review on the Stealth Belt Pro, which you can find on my blog: http://veganostomy.blogspot.com/2013/10/stealth-belt-review.html

In short, I love it. If you don't want to spend the money or need something relative effective and cheap, use a maternity band. I got one from Walmart while waiting for the stealth belt and it works great, but if you plan on using it a lot, I find the Stealth Belt to be a much better investment, especially for permanent ostomies.
