Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest
The Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest is a comfortable and stylish women's support vest built to aid those with a stoma or post-surgery wounds. Its full-chest, gentle compression can support multiple or awkward stomas, often missed by ostomy underwear.
Who Is the Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest for?
This vest is perfect for any woman with a stoma or recent surgical wounds looking for additional support and comfort. As a full-chest vest the Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest can offer support to multiple stomas, and also to high up stomas or surgical sites which are difficult to reach with conventional high-waisted stoma support underwear.
Which Conditions Is the Stoma Support Vest Appropriate for?
The gentle support offered by this vest has a broad range of applications:
- Securing and protecting conventional stomas and ostomy devices
- Reducing discomfort and the risk of further injury for herniated stomas and peristomal skin (the skin around the stoma)
- Guarding and maintaining post surgery dressings, particularly from abdominal surgery
- Supporting multiple stomas
- Supporting high stomas that cannot be reached by conventional high-waisted stoma support underwear
How Do I Wear the Comfizz Women's Vest?
The stretchy and breathable fabric is simply worn like any other vest. It should fit snugly around your chest and abdomen to hold your ostomy bag or surgery site securely and discreetly. This vest comes with adjustable straps for the perfect fit.
What Size of Vest Is Best for Me?
This vest comes in a broad range of sizes. Because the fabric is designed to stretch, Comfizz sizes are published as overlapping. The guide below offers comparison to help you find the ideal size for you:

Small/ Medium | 28-32" |
Medium/ Large | 34-38" |

Is This Vest Discreet?

What Level of Support Does a Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest Offer?
This vest applies gentle support and compression across your whole chest. While there are products which supply greater levels of support or protection, this vest is discrete and comfortable, and should be adequate for most ostomy patients.

How Will This Vest Help With My Ostomy Pouch?
The Comfizz Women's Ostomy Support Vest offers secure and discreet support to any ostomy device. Since this vest covers the full chest, it is perfect for people with multiple, high or awkward stomas or ostomy devices, who struggle to receive support from conventional ostomy underwear.
Not only does the gentle compression of this vest prevent your ostomy pouch from moving about or becoming dislodged during physical activity, it also conceals and flattens the device so you can feel confident in your own discretion. At the same time it aids in the flow of gas from your bag, and prevents bloat from occurring.

No, the support provided by the Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest is firm but gentle. It will not put unnecessary pressure on your stoma or ostomy device.

Is the Comfizz Women's Stoma Support Vest Machine Washable?
This vest is machine washable at 40ºC, so you don't need to worry about inconvenient hand-washing routines. It is not, however, suitable to dry clean, iron, tumble dry or bleach.
What Kind of Underwear Can I Wear This Vest With?
Since this vest is independent of underwear it is suitable to be worn with all underwear including both boxers and briefs. Wearing it in conjunction with stoma support underwear can offer additional security. Browse our selection of Ostomy Underwear to find out more.
