Ostomy swimwear is special swimwear designed specifically for people with an ostomy. It features a built-in pocket to securely hold an ostomy bag, as well as adjustable straps or other features to provide support and comfort.

Yes, it is safe to wear an ostomy bag while swimming. However, it is important to use an ostomy bag that is specifically designed for swimming, such as one made of a waterproof material. It is also a good idea to wear a stoma guard or stoma protector to provide an extra layer of protection for the stoma.

While it is possible to wear regular swimwear with an ostomy bag, it may not provide the same level of security and comfort as ostomy swimwear. Regular swimwear may not have a built-in pocket for the ostomy bag, and the straps or waistband may not provide sufficient support.

There are various types of ostomy swimwear available, including one-piece swimsuits, tankinis, and swim briefs. There are also different styles and designs to choose from, including those with lace or other decorative elements.

Most ostomy swimsuits are designed to be compatible with all types of ostomy bags. However, it is always a good idea to double-check the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure that the swimsuit is compatible with your particular ostomy bag.
