Comfizz ladies vest

Tell her to tape the top of her bag to her stomach, that will keep it flat and she won't need anything else to keep it in place. That was the only thing I had a problem with was it flopping over the top of my pants.

These look totally awesome. Even for a 47yr old who likes to wear the clothes tight. Looks much better than the usual camis. Also the ladies boxers look so much better than the "boy short" ones I get from Target. Maybe I can justify the prices as the target stuff just wears out so quickly. I have never done a belly band as I didn't want that excess stuff around me. But this comfizz stuff looks great. Too bad its so expensive.

I don't have the Comfizz vest, but have several pairs of the ladies boxers and LOVE them. I have some of the briefs too and they are great, but I prefer the boxers (less of a panty line with them). I can wear low-rise jeans and tight tank tops with them and they conceal the pouch so well. I would think the tank would do the same. The products are very durable too. I have had mine for two years and they have held their shape wonderfully. I just make sure to air dry instead of throwing in the dryer.

These products are wonderful for working out too since they keep the pouch comfortably close to the body and are very supportive.

Sure they are pricey, but in the grand scheme of things I feel it is a small price to pay for feeling confident with my ostomy. I can cut something else out of the budget.

Ddd45- Back when I ordered mine, they only had one option. Looking at the photos though, mine are definitely the higher waisted ones- level 1 (they also didn't have level 2 back then... but the level 1 feel supportive enough for me). Though my stoma is two inches below my belly button, the top edge of my pouch lines up just above my belly button. I think the lower ones would not cover the top couple of inches of my pouch. I like the higher ones because they completely cover it. Most wraps roll up at the crease of my leg so I rarely use them. I LOVE the boxers because they sort of do the same thing as a wrap, but don't roll up.

It is hard to describe the fabric. It is definitely on the thicker side (as compared to Ostomy Secrets more silky fabric). These are designed to be supportive so they are thicker and stretchy- sort of in a bike short way but not as tight as bike shorts. I have never seen Spanx... so I am not sure how they compare to those tightness-wise. They are very wicking and do breathe well. I wear these running, hiking and climbing on very hot days in the summer and they never get clammy. The best I can describe it- the fabric is sort of similar to that of a nice high-quality wicking athletic stretchy sports bra. It is hard to describe without actually touching it because it is unusual. They are tighter than your average Target of Victoria's Secret cotton boy shorts though. They are designed to support and hold things in. They do still allow flow to the bottom of the pouch no problem though. Due to the tighter nature, the leg holes on the briefs do sometimes give me visible panty lines when I where them under yoga pants. That is why I love the boxers so much more. They are a lot more invisible under clothing.

I can't remember how much shipping was, but at first I only ordered one brief and one boxer just to make sure I liked them because I knew I wouldn't want to pay to send them back. Once I realized they were a good fit for what I wanted, I ordered a couple more of each. I see that they have some new colors so I may order some more of the boxers eventually since I wear mine so often. I did a currency calculator and it looks like they are about $17 US. That really isn't that bad.

Hope this helps.

Blueheron,
Thanks for your detailed description of the fabric. Sounds like the quality makes it worth the price. I'll think I'll order one to see how it fits and let everyone know how she likes the cami/vest.
