How to Wear a Stealth Belt Pro? The Pro Style (Horizontal)
For the best results with the Stealth Belt Pro and other horizontal style Stealth Belts, we recommend that you put your appliance on horizontally, towards the hip nearest to your stoma.
To put on the belt :
- Pull your appliance through the flange hole in the belt so that the appliance rests inside the belt's zippered compartment. Note that the zipper should facing the bottom.
- Bring the ends of the belt around the waist and fasten the velcro closure system to a comfortable level. An exact fit should use exactly half of the velcro so there is room to adjust up or down 2” inches.
- Move the bag to lay flat inside the zippered pouch compartment so that the bottom of the bag is towards the direction of your nearest hip.
The Vertical Style.
For the best results with Vertical Style Stealth Belts, we recommend that you put your appliance on vertically, with the bottom of the appliance facing straight down.
To put on the belt :
- Pull your appliance through the flange hole in the belt so that the appliance rests inside the belt's zippered compartment.
- Bring the ends of the belt around the waist and fasten the velcro closure system to a comfortable level. An exact fit should use exactly half of the velcro so there is room to adjust up or down 2” inches.
- Close the zipper along the bottom of the belt to secure and conceal your appliance.
Note - You may need to roll up the bottom of the ostomy appliance one time for it to fit inside the pouch. The length of the belt is slightly shorter than the length of the pouch so that the weight of the output can rest along the zippered pouch when it is closed.
How to Wear A Stealth Belt ?( Slip-on Style.)
The Slip-on style is designed to hold the ostomy appliance in a horizontal position. For the best results, we recommend that you put your appliance on horizontally, towards the hip nearest to your stoma.
To put the Slip-On style on:
- Make sure the zipper of the belt is unzipped and step into the band and pull it up around your waist.
- Note that the zipper should facing the bottom and the layer of the belt with the flange hole should be against your body.
- Feed the ostomy appliance through the flange hole and pull it through the open zipper. Adjust the fit so that the flange hole of the belt fits comfortable around the flange of your appliance.
- Move the bag up into the zippered pouch compartment so that the bottom of the bag is towards the direction of your nearest hip and it lays flat inside the compartment of the Stealth Belt.
Vertical or Horizontal?
Stealth Belts are made in both a Vertical and Horizontal orientation. Here are some things to consider when deciding which style will suit you best!
Vertical:
- Often preferred by those with Urostomies or very watery output
- High-output appliances
- Those who prefer keeping the bag in a vertical position
Horizontal:
- Helps keep the bag out of the pant-line
- Preferred by people who are highly active
Both styles of wear can be used for any activity. It comes down to personal preference for which one is best. Many people with adjustable 2-piece appliances have both styles so they can use them during different activities. Check out this video to learn more:
What side of your body is your stoma located on? Look down at yourself. (Right / Left)
Choose Left or Right side.
What is your body size at the level of your stoma/ostomy? (Measure around your body both above and below your stoma.)
Take the average of these two measurements for your body size when ordering. For best fit please measure at the stoma level without going over your pouch or stoma. Note: It is not recommended to use your pants size.
What is the flange diameter of your ostomy bag? (Watch the video to learn how to measure for flange size.)
2 piece appliance: Measure the diameter from side to side of the plastic ring on the ostomy bag. 1 piece appliance: Fold down the ostomy bag towards the center to expose the circular edge. Measure from one edge to other edge.
If you use a 2-piece Hollister appliance, the flange measurement is located on the box next to the circular flange icon.

Jessica has been an avid rock climber for many years. She also works as the endurance manager at Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America on many of the Take Steps events. Jessica invited me to join her for a day at her rock climbing gym. I was very impressed with her skill and patience trying to encourage me to try another route. I chose the Neoprene extreme style which worked great with the harness and Jessica wore her Stealth Belt Pro. Keep climbimg higher Jessica. - Richard Stealth Belt Founder, Designer, and Wearer.

In May of 2007 I was diagnosed with colon cancer,and in November of that year my operation to remove the tumor left me with a permanent Ileostomy . I was depressed, and convinced that my life as I knew it would change drastically,and I would not be able to participate in all the activities I always had. I was very self conscious about my ostomy and tried to avoid situations that I thought would cause me more embarrassment. In April of 2008 I discovered Stealth Belt when surfing the net for some sort of solution. I have been wearing a Stealth Belt 24/7 since the day I received my first of several in the mail. It has allowed me to resume to 100% of the activities I enjoyed so much prior to my surgery. I have enjoyed baseball, curling, hockey, tennis, swimming, skiing, golf and yes, a totally normal love life. I have spoken at our local Ostomy association meetings and have recommended the belts to our Stoma nurses, and helped several people manage their own ostomy situation by convincing them to return to a normal life, by wearing a Stealth Belt. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have enclosed a picture taken last weekend , of me, following my participation in the 10km portion of the Edmonton Marathon.
Thanks again

David is doing olympic power lifting in this photo. We can customize added support to a Stealth Belt to make it stronger for this type of activity. Keeping his ostomy bag securely in place allows David to enjoy the sport he loves. - Stealth Belt Team

Satisfied customer for 6+ years. Love my Stealth Belt!
I've had an ostomy since 2011. After surgery, I tried various products until I happened upon Stealth Belt. The Stealth Belt worked much better than others in every situation: the office, when sleeping, and - especially - when active. Prior to surgery, I ran, biked and swam regularly. I wasn't sure I could get back to that but, with Stealth Belt, I was able to resume those activities and return to hard training. In 2012, I completed the 140.6 mile Ironman race using my Stealth Belt and have since competed in numerous other triathlons and marathons. Couldn't do it without their product...truly a life changer for me...and good people to do business with. Chris S.

"I love my Stealth Belt" Ashley
You completely made our day/week/month!
Thank you also for the new Stealth Belt, it will definitely come in handy as we try to keep up with Ashley.
Ashley is 5 years old, and had her ileostomy surgery just last September.
Ashley had surgery in China, then 3 1/2 years of therapy before ostomy - can't say how great SB was for Ashley. She says it changed her life.
