Wearing a Stealth Belt can help reduce the chance of leaks and skin irritation by supporting the weight of the appliance as it fills. They also help improve the overall quality of life by providing security and discretion, concealing the appliance, and improving confidence.

Some people find that the horizontal orientation is preferable for keeping the appliance concealed and out of the way of the waistline and belt buckle. However, some with watery output, high output, or who prefer to keep their appliance vertically may prefer the vertical orientation.

The lifespan of the Stealth Belt depends on how often it is used and washed. We have found that it is generally good to replace Stealth Belts every 6 months to 1 year.

There are four standard flange sizes available (1 ¾”, 2 ¼”, 2 ¾”, 3 ¼ ). If an appliance is measured between two sizes, the next largest size flange option will work best. (e.g. a 2 1/2” flange should be ordered as a 2 ¾”)

Yes! Fasten all belt closures to prevent the velcro from sticking to other items. Machine wash the belt on a gentle cycle in warm water. Do not use bleach. Machine dry your Stealth Belt on a delicate cycle. For more extended durability, you may hand wash and hang-dry your belt. Purchase the Stealth Belt laundry bag for extra care when washing/drying your belt.

No. Stealth Belts are designed with a zippered pouch compartment to allow easy access to the appliance for emptying.

The reason the Stealth Belt is shorter is to support the weight of the bag as it fills up.

The reason the hole is on the opposite side of your stoma is because on a horizontal style belt, you will angle your belt towards your hip. For a right sided stoma, the hole will be on the left and you will angle your belt to your right. For a left sided belt, the hole will be on the right and you will angle your bag to your left.

The Stealth Belt Pro and Slip-on belts are made with Nylon Lycra material - a moisture wicking fabric that is lightweight and cool. It has a stretch similar to bike shorts or swimwear. The Neoprene belt is made with wetsuit-like Neoprene to accommodate extreme water activities. The Hybrid belt is made with Nylon Lycra with an additional Neoprene strip across the front of the belt.

If you have a centered stoma, the choice is yours! Left-sided belts will have the closure more to the left side, while right-sided belts will have the closure more on the right side.

Stealth Belts help keep the adhesive flange patch in place, so it won't come unstuck from the stoma area as easily. Stealth Belts also act as an added layer of protection if you do have a leaking bag.

Yes! Stealth Belts are ideal for all water activities. The Stealth Belt will securely hold the ostomy bag in place so you can enjoy the water. The lightweight material rapidly dries when you are out of the water.

For water sports, such as wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, competitive swimming, and more, we recommend the Neoprene Belt that is custom-designed to handle extreme situations in water.

Yes, you can sleep in your Stealth Belt. You can comfortably wear most for 24 hours a day. The Stealth Belt helps prevent movement and shifting around of the ostomy bag which can wake you up when you roll over, or cause skin irritation around your stoma. The Stealth Belt keeps the ostomy bag as flat as possible so you can be more comfortable while you sleep. For our most comfortable Stealth Belt without Velcro, see our Slip-On style!
