Form fitting business clothes and ostomy bag

I have tried everything, and wasted lots of money doing it. The pheonix belt lets you wear it side ways, and has a pocket to keep it hidden. Problem with this is it is bulky, and you appear to have no waste. The stealth belt is very costly, and slides. My bag never stayed in place, and the belt was very uncomfortable because it always moved. I purchased (can't remember the name) stretchy material that pregnant women wear so they can accommodate their bellies, but they were hot, and rolled up. Finally I found http://www.ostomysecrets.com/
Their underwear has a pouch in front, that the bag goes into. These are the best! Noone can see it, and it keeps everything secure. It doesn't cover your belly, so you aren't hot.

Best of luck!

Sorry I couldn't tell if you were a man or woman, so a few ideas. First, I use a 10" bag. I'm 5'1" and the 12" bags hang way too low. With the smaller bag I can fold the bottom third into my underwear and it is well hidden. One piece appliances are lower profile than two so maybe use a one piece if you know you are going with form fitting. Control top hose, or spanx or similar work wonders. Velcro close make lower profile too. A form fitting cami under the shirt will help. If you can use them, Cymed makes the lowest profile bags I've ever seen - I love them but need convexity and they don't have it. Also consider a closed end bag in the smaller size. This is flat, and would only work in a two piece for work and you would have to be comfortable changing to a new closed end at work. I've done it in church bathrooms at wedding, restaurants, theme parks, all kins of places, but it does take practice.

If you are a man, your options in undergarments are more limited...the jockey style briefs would give more support. Same advice on appliances.

Good luck!

Jill- thanks; I am a male, albeit same height as you, so the bag size thing is relevant to me too. I was hoping that I could mount a bag horizontally using one of those support belts but it seems that does just replace the tummy problem with a problem of looking "waistless" (per @Shari) plus then there is the issue of it not filling properly due to the gravity issue. The ostomy secrets underwear looks very appealing, but I guess that still doesnt solve the problem of constricting flow with a belt. Suspenders are an option but if my pants are that loose, I know my shirts start to ride up. Do some people use those ostomy hardshell protectors to allow the belt to keep snug? That of course adds bulk though.

you might try this post in the men's forum as many in the forum have had an ostomy at some point and you will get more men to look at it. I wear men's boxer briefs when I exercise because they keep my bag nice and close to my body. I wear a 2 piece system that I angle toward my opposite leg to distribute the bulk a little more. Do you already have an ostomy? If not, you can have it placed below your belly button line so that it really won't show much under a tight shirt. I don't wear tight pants unless I'm also wearing a looser longer shirt to balance it out.

Bad plumbing,
There are these new materials called (I think) Spankx or something like that...they are stretchy and breatable fabrics and they manufacture every type of undergarment out of it...they have 'waist belts' for men and women with bellies that worked great for me when I had my hernia surgery and had to wear an indwelling tube plus bag on the outside...it didn't smooth things out 100% but about 85% which was fine with me...I was able to go to work, teach in front of a class and not look lopsided, bulky or lumpy...and I wear fitted pants with sweaters or t-shirts all year round...they look like tubes about 1 foot wide and come in sizes and colurs like flesh tone, black and white so you can find your bliss...it will also allow you to wear your bag in a natural position...they also sell body suits, unddies and t-shirts so you may want to try the t-shirt or belt rather than the unddies which are not made for 'men' (no guy exit in them)...
