If YOU Have an ileostomy!! Get a stealth belt

I'm twenty four and when I firIst got my ileostomy I had quite a few problems. Bag would burst when I'd roll over in my sleep, couldnt keep the bag in a comfortable position when it was somewhat full. And a major problem was sex. Bag would flop right in the way and I'd have to keep stopping to move it which was a mood killer.

Then I finally.got my stealth belt pro. Sure it was like 100 bucks but it was the best investment I ever made. Even if the bag is 100 percent full I still feel comfortable cause all the weight is on the belt.(except I get scared of it bursting when it's that full). I can sleep on my stomach now if I position a pillow below and above my stoma, sex is much better now that the bag is hidden in the belts pouch and out of the way. And most of all I feel way more comfortable with my shirt off in public. I just went on a week-long cruise out of miami and it changed my whole trip. without the stealth belt I don't think I would have gone snorkeling in Honduras or down the water slide on the cruise.

So if you don't have a stealth belt, or some kind of belt that hides and holds your ileostomy pouch, I recommend you order one now!

The site even says you can use them for water skiing but I wouldn't recommend that lol.. When I was sWimming in the Cayman islands I was taken down by a big wave and even with the belt on.my pouch disconnected :0.

I do like the idea of being able to sleep on your stomach, but not if you have to use two pillows to do it :/ Couldn't you do the pillow thing without the stealth belt? Or the stealth belt thing without the pillows?

Anyway, I have thought of getting something like this, but they're all quite pricey. My main concern is that I don't really like belts, as I find them quite constricting. But the extra protection could come in handy at times.

Btw, think I found out why your belt didn't work during water-skiing. From the stealth belt pro FAQ: For water sports such as wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, etc., we recommend the Neoprene Belt which is custom-designed to be tough and strong enough to handle extreme situations in water. Please see our online catalog for more details on this and other custom belts.

It's online Google stealth belt. It's it's own company

Wow, it's awesome that you are so active.

Do you need to have a 2 piece system to wear the belt? I can't imagine trying to wear a one piece system sideways.
