With very few exceptions, you can wear the same clothes you were wearing before the procedure. There are many pouch systems available today that will not be noticeable even if you are wearing the most stylish, form-fitting clothing.
You may find belts or some waistbands uncomfortable or restrictive, depending on the location of your stoma. Wearing clothes with higher or looser waistbands is one option. Some companies have custom-made ostomy underwear and intimate apparel, as well as abdominal belts that can be useful in limiting pouch movement during exercise and other daily activities.
