Stomas placed in the lower right or left abdomen will usually be below the waist and sit underneath pants. This makes them less noticeable. For stomas placed in the upper abdomen can be a little more challenging. Wearing loose-fitting shirts is helpful. Consider a pouch cover. For women, wearing a longer top will conceal the bottom of the pouch. For men, also wearing long shirts and avoiding tucking into the pants are a good idea. You may want to consider looking into a Wrap. This is an undergarment that men or women can wear around the portion of the abdomen where the stoma is. It minimizes the bulk of the pouch and has a pocket to support the pouch as it fills. Check out Ostomy support garments on the HPFY website.
