Hi again,

just finished my field events and can say that I’m happy with the Ostomy Armor belt.

it’s is comfortable and did the job well.

only issue might be for women with curves, the belt might try to slip up.

 Not too much of an issue for me. 

Great follow-up and feedback. Thank you for doing that!

Curvy women often have issues with wraps, bands, and belts, so thanks for pointing that out.

Does the band on your guard have some kind of silicone backing on it to help prevent slippage?

No silicone on the band.  

I went paddle boarding and now I am working out how to get it to play nice with my flotation device while paddle boarding, specifically when getting back onto the board. 

The PFD pushes on the Ostomy Armor when I try to climb back on the board.  Will try a different PFD next time we go out and see of there is less interference.

Yes, I'd be interested in hearing how that goes. 

I haven't been on water (kayak) in years, but I don't recall the PFD causing issues. Then again, I wasn't trying to climb into it, so different use case for sure.

@veganostomy 

ok so I did a little research on how my pfd should fit.

 I adjusted it accordingly and it now rides I little higher in the front.

on today’s paddle I had no issues we practiced getting back on board several times with no issues.🌞

In the attached photo you can see outline of the Ostomy Armor under my sunshirt.

That's how I remember my PFD fitting, so I'm glad it works! Also, what a beautiful area! Wow.
