- Choose bathing suit colors or patterns that will hide your ostomy.
- Women can get a bathing suit that has a special lining, or they can wear stretch panties under their bathing suit to hold the pouch in place.
- Men can wear bike shorts underneath their bathing suit, or wear swim trunks and a tank top.
- Always empty your pouch before swimming.
