3 Ostomy Solutions in 1 Product!

Stoma Guard + Ostomy Clothing Solution + Ostomy Support Belt

More than just a simple stoma protector... the StomaShield funnels stoma output down your bag and underneath clothes!

The StomaShield, made by StomaGear, is made for majority of ostomy types and people:

ILEOSTOMY, COLOSTOMY, or UROSTOMY. Male or Female. 1 Piece or 2 Piece ostomy systems.

The new and improved belt (included with your order) is 2" wide, soft, elastic, latex free, machine washable, more secure, and just simply more comfortable than anything on the market. The elastic belt has a non-slip grip to keep it in place and is easily adjustable. It comes in 48", but is stretchy (up to 52") and overlaps to shrink down in size to 24". The entire outside of the belt is loop (fuzzy) velcro. This allows the belt to adjust down in size as the velcro overlaps and tightens.

The all in one ostomy bag accessory!

How to determine the right size for me? Recommended Sizes (may not apply to everyone, but will apply to most).

Simply measure the distance from your belt line to the top of your stoma. Not your navel. The higher the stoma is above the top edge of your pants, the taller the StomaShield you need. We designed the StomaShield to allow the "output" of the stoma to flow underneath your clothing without restriction. Everything is based on the stoma location in relation to your clothing. Not how big/small your body is.

If your stoma is Even or anywhere below belt/pants line, I recommend the Small Shield (4" high x 6" wide)
If your stoma is 0.50" - 2.50" above belt/pants line, I recommend the Medium Shield (5" high x 6" wide)
If your stoma is 3.00" above belt/pants line, I recommend the Large Shield (6" high x 6" wide)

stomashield sizes

In the picture above, Small, Medium, and Large are shown. All 3 shields are lined up the same at the bottom. Each size is 1" taller to accommodate higher stoma locations above the clothing.

Ideally, your pants/belt line would rest along the center of the shield (+/- an inch or so). At a minimum, I would have 1"-2" of the shield below the top of your belt (with the shield comfortably resting above your leg), and the remaining shield (above the belt) to protect the stoma. This will allow the bag contents to flow down to the bottom without it being pinched off from your clothing. FYI, the large shield is better suited for taller/longer torso bodies with high stomas. Medium works for a large majority of people with an ostomy. The Small works great for those really low stomas at or below the pant/belt/waist line.

If you are still not sure which size is for you, I would start with the Medium size shield as it works for most people with an ostomy. Try it out with various clothing and situations. Then you can exchange for 1" shorter/taller shield if you feel it's necessary. Everyone's ostomy surgery and body shape is very unique. It's definitely a trial and error process. Not just buying our StomaShield, but any ostomy related product you try on.

StomaShield Belt Sizing Guide

Just like buying a belt for your pants, buy the smallest size you can fit into. 38", 48", or 58". Our new belt is elastic, so it will stretch some. If you are in between sizes, get the larger size to be on the safe side. It also can adjust down to any size with the entire outside of belt made of loop side velcro. For example, if you have a 40" waist it's best to get the 48" belt then simply pull to tighten to adjust down to get a custom fit.
