THANKS!! For all your videos. You have helped me getting used to my ostomy bag. Question on the Hollister 2 piece hack on for the Stealth Belt Pro. You mention putting some oil on the flange so you can turn the bag 90 degrees. Will this create leaks or make the ostomy bag pull off the wafer?

Hi David,

Thank you for the question! I address that in the article dedicated to that hack : https://www.veganostomy.ca/rotate-ostomy-bag/

In short, there is a potential for trouble, but they often come from using too much oil. Take care!

Great to read this article, I have colostomy and if I wore on of the comfort/stealth belt it would be wear my waistband of my trousers are, would a belt still be a good idea, do you wear low rise trousers to accommodate belt
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

If your stoma is right at your belt line, then this likely won't offer many benefits apart from some added support.

But if the waistband is just below your stoma (like it is for me), then it should work well. If low-rise trousers help to get you there, then I don't see a problem :)

Thanks, I've tried with some different trousers and have worn my bag horizontally for 2 days, it's amazing feeling not having bag inside trousers and being compressed by waistband, I feel like I did before operation, so a big thankyou for videos it's helped so much, I have a comfort belt coming tomorrow to help even more, I come from UK so stealth belt from USA might be costly with taxes.
Thanks again, you've helped change my life
Jonathan

That's wonderful to hear, Jonathan! I hope you enjoy your new belt!

Hi,

Thanks for the great info! Would you know a Canadian distributor for the Slip-on Horizontal Stealth belt? For some reason, my insurance company requires the purchase from a Canadian website.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

That's a shame! Some insurance companies do that and require that products be shipped from within Canada. I suggest getting in touch with the folks at StealthBelt as they may have some options for you. Even shipping to a local supplier and have them bill you might be an option.

As far as I know, there are no dedicated Canadian distributors, but I could be wrong. I had to order from them in the states, and my private insurance did not cover it then :(

That's unfortunate that you had the same issue. Thanks for your recommendation - I'll look into that.

Have a great day!
