Order sample
  • As a general rule you should talk with your doctor to understand if there are any types of sexual activity you should avoid.

 

  • First, keeping the pouch clean and empty is a good idea. You may want to put a new pouch on beforehand. You can also use a smaller pouch for increased discretion.
  • For discretion, some people switch to an ostomy cap (a much smaller pouch, available in 1-piece or 2-piece options, that doesn't hold much output and is instead designed to simply cover the stoma). Other people may switch to a smaller mini-pouch or a closed-end pouch. All of these choices are smaller, less bulky and more discreet.
  • Men might consider wearing a tank top that covers the pouch or a cummerbund-type garment to help secure the pouch.
  • If you are a woman, intimate apparel such as a wrap, a garter belt, or camisole can help you feel more confident as it covers your pouch. Crotch-less underwear might also be an option to provide more support for the ostomy as your body moves. If you prefer, there are a few companies that make special lingerie for people with an ostomy - these typically include a built-in pocket to both hide the pouch and hold it close against your body. 
  • Another product option is a pouch cover. These come in an array of different colors and patterns and can help your pouch feel more discreet.
