Frequently asked questions
When might an ostomy belt or support belt be useful?
A belt may provide extra support and help keep your bag secure during everyday movement or activity. Some people use one for added confidence, while others may be advised to use a particular belt with their bag system.
A belt should feel supportive rather than painfully tight. Check that it does not rub your stoma or restrict output, and ask your stoma care nurse to help with fit and suitability.
What is the difference between an adjustable belt and a support belt?
Adjustable belts have clips that attach to your stoma bag and can be adjusted at the side to hold the bag in place. Support belts have a hook and loop fastening and go around your whole abdomen, covering your bag too.
Both can provide you with added security and support, speak to your stoma care nurse about which option is best for you.
Can I wear a stoma support garment every day?
Yes, many stoma support garments are suitable for daily wear. They are designed to fit comfortably under clothing while providing gentle support throughout the day. Choosing the correct size can help ensure a comfortable fit.
Make sure to read the instructions before use as we do not recommend you use these garments while lying down or while sleeping.
Will an adjustable belt fit any stoma bag?
Our adjustable stoma belts are designed to fit to the majority of bags which have loops beside the baseplate. However not all bags have this feature. Always check the product information to make sure the belt is suitable for your stoma bag and ask your stoma care nurse or whoever you get your products from to make sure.
How do I choose the right stoma support product for me?
The best choice depends on your stoma type, the style of bag you use, and the level of support you need. Consider when you plan to wear it, whether for everyday use, physical activity, or travel, and choose a product that provides a secure and comfortable fit.
You can ask your stoma care nurse for advice or speak to your product supplier to see what is compatible with your bag.

Adjustable belt
I started using the belt due to the uncomfortable weight of the bag, felt like it was pulling on my skin. The belt gave me more support, confidence that the bag is secure and far more comfortable to wear.
