Medical Ostomy Belt Ostomy Hernia Support Belt Abdominal Binder Brace Abdomen Band Stoma Support for Colostomy Patients to Prevent Parastomal Hernia Stoma Opening- Men Or Women- Size XS

Fit for right or left side. At first I pulled the ostomy pouch tabs thru the opening and wasn't happy with that configuration. I then just pulled the pouch thru the opening and over the three tabs and adjusted and fastened the Velcro. Worked fine.Since I covered the tabs, the next time, before I put this belt on, I attached my regular belt to the ostomy pouch and then put this belt on. Worked fine.Everything is secure and this belt helps keep the hernia down, not as much as I'd like but much better than without this belt.I'm going to try a medium instead of a large to see if the smaller size will keep the hernia more compressed.

Perfect for my ileostomy. Easy to use and maintain.

I do have another that is a little more comfortable but it cost much/much more and this is my backup and second choice so for the price, I think it's a good choice.

Helps manage the pain

measurements for opening are off. It is oval and not round. Did NOT work for what I needed.

This was a great idea. At this time, I wear a thin belt. I liked the idea of something that surrounded the ostomy bag to support it. There are a few problems with the design of this for a woman. Women are not shaped straight up and down. We have waists and hips. That means the wrap should not be rectangular. As someone who sews, I understand it is much easier to have this wrap straight around. However, to go around the larger hips and smaller waist, that means when a woman sits down, it will ride up, pulling the ostomy bag up. This loosens the bag from the body. or pulling the ring off and pulling the bag up and cutting it off. Why not taper the belt so it's a little more narrow until it gets to the ring area. To me, this was a waste of money and tossed aside to be used as a piece of elastic in a sewing project down the line. Also note - I measured myself and my daughter measured me, too to be sure. I was smack dab in the middle to order a size medium. It "just" fit. I really needed a large. The fitting scale chart is off.

Great product and very fast shipping

I use the binder when I work in the yard or garden and when I exercise. Has definitely given me feeling of security to get out and enjoy life 5-months post-op where I’d been having several pouch adhesive leaks that were making me homebound. Thank u so much for this binder!
