Great to know that there are companies out there willing to work close with IBD sufferers to create products that work well for everyone. Great review post Vegan Ostomy x

It sure is! I'll be ordering more of those pouches once my insurance is renewed in November.

I ordered my second stealth belt today with some minor adjustments from the first one. Found out about Stealth Belt because of this blog...thanks!

Awesome! Was it a Stealth Belt Pro or a different style? What adjustments did you opt for, if you don't mind my asking?

Yes, the Pro model in basic black. I asked for the zipper to be put on top and have a 35 length (rather than 34 or 36).

:-)

Zipper on the top is a great idea, and I'll likely get that added on to the next one I order. Let me know how it works out when you've had a chance to wear it for a while.

Just received 2 Urostomy cover bags from Grandmas Hands, and was a little disappointed. They look great but the size of the access hole on the back is HUGE. I had indicated that the size was is 1 1/2 inches but the hole is huge, to the point where i am afraid that it could fall off my pouch. I would have that thought there might be some elastic around the hole to keep it relatively tight, or that the hole would have been smaller, or what was the point of asking about the hole size? Also with the hole being as large as it is, the back has no stiffness to it, so the top of the cover can slide off the top of my pouch. I had ordered 2, but not sure i will order any more. The fabric and choices are great, but if you are not sure if the cover will stay on, then it kind of defeats the whole point of having a cover. I use a Hollister 1 piece pouch.

Hi Spence, that's such a shame to hear. I would contact the company to let them know about the hole size. I'm sure they'd be happy to work with you to get the size you want. If you do go that route, can you please update us here?

Good Morning, 

Absolutely. I think maybe they just shipped the wrong size, but it needs to be the correct size. Walked the dog this morning and almost lost it.  It came off on its own, had to backtrack to find it and did. I will call them and update the review. Nobody is perfect!
