StealthBelt Vs. Comfortbelt: Ostomy Support Belt Showdown! 

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m new to this. God bless you! Your attitude is great and helping us “ostomates” is a real blessing ❤️

You have such a calming articulate way of speaking

Thank you so much for this video! You are very thorough and informative. I purchased a stealth belt last year and am looking to get a backup and I may try the Comfort this time. Keep up the great videos! Appreciate it a ton! :)

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I'm 3 weeks post op with my illeostomy and I will be getting a comfort belt for now. I'm eventually going to get the stealth belt once my stoma stops changing in size. Really appreciate what you do. Thanks agsin!!!

just want to share that tomorrow I get my take-down surgery. thanks again for all your videos. seriously you are doing good for osto-mates and basically I don't know what I would have done with out you videos these last months.

Ur videos are so high quality and have really helped me since getting my ileostomy. Thank you thank you thank you!

Have my surgery next week. Thank you for these videos, very informative and helpful 👍

Great job! Thanks!

What a great video! I love your style your cadence, and your clarity in your presentation. I am brand new with a newborn ileostomy. So good information that’s digestible is very pertinent to me. You delivered on all counts. My thanks and I look forward to your next videos.

Excellent review ty Eric 👍

Please know that your work here is still helping a lot of people, Eric!

Very helpful review. Thank you.

Thanks VO!

Who stayed until the bloopers at the end? =)

Great video...love the outtakes too. I love, love, love my stealth belt pro. I purchased mine around a month after my surgery last year. I'm glad to see that after your long use it still looks great. That makes me feel even more confident in my purchase. I did base my decision from your original review. The price was higher but you definitely get what you pay for. I also discovered that they sell what they call "bloopers" which are belts that they may have made for customers that cancelled or changed their mind. So not only did I save money getting a "blooper" I was able to get it sooner. They do need a few days to check their stock to see if there is a match to what your needs are but it was definitely worth checking into. I do find myself wearing it less as it adds bulk to my clothing. Do you think that it is better or necessary for me to wear it more often? Thank you Eric once again for all of your insight.

Stealth Belt Pro, ComfortBelt, or Stealth Belt Quick Start belt? Which do you prefer?

Very good information between each one. I have an ostomy but my stoma is on my belt line and the problem I have with the StealthBelt is the material being very slick. Now of course I purchased mine 12 years ago, so not sure if they have changed. This causes my pants to slide down off it and find having to use suspenders.

Hi Eric, after 4 mths.w/ Stealth Belt Pro, I have some issues. I only wear it for outdoor activity, but would use it for dressing up. Belt looks like the cummerbund on my tuxedo. 1.As an avid hiker, its slips up & down & pulls on my stoma.. The smaller hole makes it worse. As i mentioned before, Grainger makes blk. window molding in many widths & heights. I put a 2-4" pieces across the back side, on either side of my spine, where it is highest. Cheap & available at Loews. 2.Belt collects sweat like crazy & soaked like a sponge. I saw your linty beat up belt & I suggest Hand Washing only. Greatly extends the life. I have clothes that look like your old belt, machine washed. 3.Volume is an issue. My output is often high. The smaller hole makes it hard to manipulate removal & emptying. Had 2 leaks & spattered my hiking shorts in a public toilet, yuck. Hollister told me to go easy on the oil or stop. 4. I find it has too much velcro. The secondary strip will rub my "love handles" raw. Have to play around to ease it. 5. My stoma got bigger & was warned by MD & RN of prolapse. Coughing vs PT? The belt rubs on it. Will try one of the stoma guards, I saw on your video. If anyone experiences a prolapse, Immediately sprinkle sugar on it. It will shrink & retract. After 41 yrs in Medicine, I've seen Huge rectal prolapses, called the surgeon & he asks for Sugar. I once said: Doc, would you like a cup of coffee with it? HAHA

Does anyone who uses these belts, horseback riding. My riding breetches are tighter than my pants are, and i'm wondering how these will work. Thanks for any input you may have.

Hi Eric. Great video! Would any of these belts work better with a stoma that is higher up, i.e. above the belly button? Thanks again! Phil

Can I put the belt if I wear my pouch vertically? I am starting a job in labs very soon and it requires walking/moving all the time. So I want to protect/secure my pouch from licking.

Great video, I'm back from 1 month at the hospital, I almost died because of surgery complication BUT I have a fresh new stoma (a left sided ileostomy, I have asked the surgeon to put it where my colostomy was if possible, because I was used to it), so I'm looking in advance to wear it horizontally. I'm waiting to get back in good shape and gain some weight and I will go for the StealthBelt. Thanks for your videos, it help to live easier with this "body particularity" :)

Video is terrific - thank you! But since it was recorded 4 years ago, I am wondering if these are still the top options or if there are other products now that should be considered?

Why don’t you show more clips of sticking the different bags in are they wore side ways or straight up and down. Which would be best way to empty.

On the belts.. how does it drain into your pouch if it's sideways? It seems to me it would not drain into the pouch.

I purchased the Stealthbelt but stopped wearing it because I am a Hollister 2 piece wearer and it pulled at the wafer in such a way that leaks occurred and saturated the belt and my clothing. I have never tried any of the others because of cost.

I have a ileostomy and I have to fly on a plane in August and I'm new with my bag and I use a drainage tube for urine to flow freely through but how many hours does the belt have to be emptied when its turned sideways to not blow up from being in either belts? Ps I'm a female with my stoma on my right side

Hey there. Have you heard if surfing is possible, specifically the paddling out part is possible with either belt?

How do you go about cleaning a stealth comfort belt. Online tells me to hand wash/hang dry, but not what type of soap to use. I can't get a hold of them and am worried to damage it.

I wear ileostomy down , i have 1 piece ostomy pouch , I don't understand why you would wear it sideway ?? I'm just wondering

The pro only

Is the sheath belt proper for a bed ridden patient with iliostomy bag who suffers frequent leakages due to frequent filling up of the bag?

How long after surgery do you think I can use a stealth belt?

They don't show a vertical belt how to put on

I'm curious as to if it will help with sleeping on your appliance side. I have an iliostomy 3 years now and I have been sleeping on my left for fear of my bag leaking if I do lay on it. Would this help that issue?

Can you work out if yes do you think I would be able to do gymnastics like back handspring and stuff

How can I fix the urine passing pipe with ostomy stoma bag

Stealth. As i would say to my wife, good job baby.

Will the stealth belt work with a hernia?

I have two bags is any belt made for us two baggers

Hi I am new and have a urostomy. Are these water proof?

can I get this belt in India?

Try finding a belt with two holes! I wear a colostomy bag and a urostomy bag. Will not work for me. And will look into a custom made one. I bet quite pricey and also bet insurance won't pay. Lucky me.

I am mid video and i hope you show what thwy look like on a person who really has a ostomy , instead of a model who doesnt or a colostomate who irrigates n just wears a small stoma cap. I want to see it on a real ileostomate

pls i need this product. pls sir i am from bangladesh. how this product collect

Where can we get these belts in INDIA

Летом он будет впитывать пот. Как с этим бороться?

Do you have a colostomy or ileostomy?

Where can I get a stealth belt from?

My husband has a very large hernia around his stoma, would this be helpful. We do use belts to hold pouches on.

Stealth belt pro is disappointing. Every video, image or instructions shows a reasonably fit individual wearing the belt around their WAIST. The problem is, most urostomy stomas are either at the same level as the navel or slightly below (always to the right). The stoma is too low to wear this belt around the waist. I also note that this simply adds more bulk to a bag your trying to hide. I will be returning mine asap.
