If anyone has this, can you slip it under your belt line in your pants without it stopping the flow to the bottom of the bag?

Hey, Rick. I've been using the Vertical Pro Stealthbelt for about a year (or more) now, and I like it so much that I ordered another two!

Now, I do NOT wear it under my pants. I don't like my bag under my pants because I find that output is always pinched off. Hell, even when I sit with my bag out it can sometimes be a problem.

My general feeling is that if you're able to wear your bag under your pants without any problems normally, then it shouldn't be any difference with the Vertical belt.

How does it not crush the bag to prevent output flow, does it have a built in stoma dome?

You can add a stoma dome to it, but it doesn't come with one as a standard feature. I have not tried to use a stoma dome with mine.

Sorry that I couldn't answer your questions more specifically, but that's been my experience.

Any tips on washing/drying stealth belt?

does it shrink in dryer?

website says to get a new one every 6 months…they only last this long at this price?

thanks

@rick I clean mine by simply filling a little bucket or the bathroom sink with some cold water and a bit of vinegar. Let it soak for a few hours ,rinse it out and leave it over the shower rod to dry.Just make sure ends of belt are on the inside of shower curtain so excess water is not dripping all over the place.

I either hand wash it on it's own, or I'll wash it with my athletic/technical gear while in a mesh laundry bag (like the type used for bras). I find that the velcro can make it hard to wash with other items without ruining them. When handwashing, this isn't really an issue.

I always air dry it.

I'm not sure why they say that. My original one from 10 years ago is still in good shape. The only reason why I don't wear that one more often is because I lost a lot of weight since getting it, and the band doesn't tighten enough for my size.

Over time, the Velcro may wear out, but I can't see any reason to replace them every six months.

@veganostomy good to know.  I was going to order some spares but I've been losing weight so I wanted to wait til I was closer to the 6 month mark.
