Having a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy requires an ostomy pouch to be attached to the abdomen in order to collect body waste.
As the pouch fills with waste, the excess weight may pull it down and cause it to tear or detach from the stoma. An ostomy belt bears the weight of the pouch, keeps it stable, and prevents damage to the bag and the stoma.
Besides supporting the ostomy device, an ostomy support belt:
A wafer and pouch are attached to the stoma day and night, so you will probably wear an ostomy bag belt all the time. Choose a belt that keeps you feeling comfortable and secure.
If you choose a belt with an opening, ensure the opening is on the same side as the stoma. If the stoma is on the left side of the abdomen, the opening should also be on the left side, and so on.
The belt should fit snugly, but it should never be too tight on your waist. A tight-fitting belt may apply pressure on the ostomy device and pull it laterally. A loose-fitting belt may hang on the abdomen and not provide adequate support.
The material of your ostomy belt should be lightweight; otherwise, it will add more weight to your abdomen. It should have enough width to cover any skin bulges and not roll due to pressure.
The ostomy support belt should be flexible and adjust to the shape of the body so it can move with the body's natural movements.
The belt should be made of a high-quality material that lasts a long time despite multiple uses.
Most people are much more comfortable when their ostomy device and belt are not easily visible or detectable. Look for a belt that fits discreetly under the clothing.
