How Do the Ladies’ Stoma Swimming Shorts with High Waist Work?

By generating gentle compression across the stomach, these swimming shorts both protect their wearer from developing parastomal hernias (hernias around the stoma) and support any ostomy devices. Not only does they give their wearer confidence by concealing ostomy devices, they also improve the experience of swimming by preventing drag or unnecessary liquid movement within the bag.

Are These Swimming Shorts Comfortable?

These swimming shorts utilise a two-way stretch system to give ostomates the flexibility needed to feel free in the water. They also feature an almost seamless construction and do not have any internal labels in order to maximise comfort.

What Level of Support Do the Ladies’ Stoma Swimming Shorts with High Waist Provide?

These swimming shorts offer soft, gentle support which is comprehensive enough to secure an ostomy device and prevent herniation without being bulky or restricting the flow of a stoma.

How Do These Stoma Support Swimming Shorts Protect Ostomes When Swimming?

The two-way stretch material of these trunks provides the gentle compression necessary to prevent the formation of hernias, which can be a risk for stoma patients during exercise. This gentle compression will also help to slowly release gas from the ostomy pouch, and prevent bloating.

At the same time, the trunks work to secure the bag and prevent any leaking. This protects the wearer from any potentially embarrassing situations and leaves them free to enjoy the water.

Will These Ostomy Swimming Shorts Improve Efficiency in the Pool?

Yes! By smoothing over the stomach and ostomy device these swimming shorts do not only allow their wearer to remain confident, they also reduce dragging in the water to boost their efficiency.

Will These Support Swimming Shorts Conceal an Ostomy Pouch?

These swimming shorts are designed with a high waist to prevent stomas or ostomy pouches from poking out of the top. Their two-way stretch fabric also offers gentle compression across the stomach in order to leave their wearer with a smoother and more subtle body profile.

Will They Restrict Stoma Flow?

No, the support provided by the Ladies’ Stoma Swimming Shorts with High Waist is firm but not excessive, and should not prevent the stoma from flowing correctly. In fact, the gentle compression offered by these swimming shorts can help to expel gas from ostomy pouches and prevent bloat!

Are the Ladies’ Stoma Swimming Shorts with High Waist Machine Washable?

These swimming shorts are machine washable at 40ºC, so there is no need to worry about inconvenient hand-washing routines. They are not, however, appropriate for dry clean, iron, tumble dry or bleach.

We recommend rinsing out all swimwear with cold water after use.
