What I Wear With My Ileostomy Bag

[@LadyGTarot]

I am one month out and still healing so jeans etc are out at this moment. I developed an infection in the 12 inch incision so at the moment very difficult finding clothing I can do. Looking forward to healing and being able to actually put together clothing again. Oh well one day at a time.

Kayla I love all the outfits. I do have some problems with clothes to wear with my bag. But you gave a good insight. Will keep looking at your videos for ideas. Much love, keep it going ❤

Thank you so much for making this video. I've recently had a cancer removed from my bowel and had to have an ileostomy fitted as a result of this 6 weeks ago. I've had a lot of embarrassing leaks especially when I'm driving and I began to think that I need to change my underwear and clothing to accommodate wearing the bag. Your video has made me so happy that I can now shop for different fashion wear and feel confident in going out again. Sending you love from me I'm in England xx

Yes! I have found that high waisted underwear is the most supportive and forgiving as my bag fills! I’m so happy my video has helped you find the fun in finding new outfits to wear! Cheers!

Yes! I have had an ileostomy for a year and jumpers are my best friend. Loos one of course shorts or pant jumpers!

[@OstomyLifeUnfiltered]

Yes!! Love it! Comfort and style in one 🙌🏼

Hey Kayla- You are so GORGEOUS!! And look AMAZING in everything!! I have a question for you,. I have an ileostomy, and you can always see the outline of my bag when I wear any tops. Do you wear a wrap? Or do you have any tips for keeping the bag from sticking out? When I wear jeans the top of my bag always balloons out, or the top of the bag ( above the base plate) sticks out. It won't lay flat against my body. I can't seem to figure out a way to keep this from happening, any ideas? Thank you so much for this video. I have had my ileostomy for over a year, and have been and am struggling to find ways to dress. Like you have that cute tank, and when I wear anything semi tight, you can totally see the bag. I just feel so lost, so thank you for this . Please keep doing this, because it is SO HELPFUL

Hey Amy!! I want to make an updated video (coming soon!) but my biggest suggestion is high waisted jeans! I have had the same issue with the bag ballooning out unless the top of my pants/shorts are above my bag! I also size up one from my normal and that has helped so it’s not squeezing so much at the waist. I can definitely see an outline when I wear tighter tops, so I will either do a little looser top with tight bottoms or wear high waisted underwear (like from Ostomy Secrets) to help hold in my bag with more fitted tops! I hope this helps!

Flowy on my the lower body is not a good idea on a pear shape
