Description
To measure for size; measure all the way around your body 1″ above Stoma and 1″ below Stoma. (example = 33″ above and 35″ below . . . you would order a 34″ size)
To use your Ostomy Support Belt, apply your colostomy bag or ileostomy appliance with the pouch positioned horizontally. (Position it across the front of your abdomen) Adjust your colostomy support belt by lining up the pouch opening on the inside of the belt with the appliance location on your abdomen. If you fold back the sides of your colostomy bag over onto itself first, it may help you guide it through the opening.
Reach through the belt’s zippered opening and guide your colostomy bag through the circular opening and into the pouch area of the belt.
Once the elastic ring of the appliance opening is past your colostomy bag and around the neck of your appliance, loosely fasten together the Velcro® closure on your ostomy support belt.
Then, reach into the zippered opening to flatten and smooth out your colostomy or ileostomy bag, inside of the pouch area.
Once your colostomy bag is comfortably positioned, close the zipper. Now you can adjust the belt’s Velcro® closure to your preferred tension for comfort and security.
Use the zipper to access and empty your collection pouch, without having to remove your Ostomy Support Belt.

Hi Karen,
I just have to tell you how wonderful your ostomy support belt is… And how wonderful you are! You were helpful and kind on the phone, and your product arrived to me so swiftly which really mattered for me. Your attention to detail and dedication to quality is evident, and I thank you for your reasonable prices too!
The belt is soft on my skin and fits perfectly. The day it arrived, I put it in and went hiking! So comfortable! Hiking, swimming wearing my regular cute low cut jeans… All things I can do now with this great belt. Thank you so much!
Very sincerely,
Linda from California
