The Importance of Foundational Support
Living with a stoma is a personal journey, but feeling secure and confident in your clothing should be a given. For many, finding the right ostomy support underwear is just as important as the appliance itself. Our mission at CUI Wear is to provide that foundation, ensuring your support is effective, discreet, and comfortable.
More Than Just Underwear - The Role of Stoma Knickers
Generic underwear can fail to manage the weight and movement of an ostomy pouch, leading to rubbing, irritation, and, most importantly, anxiety. Specialist stoma knickers, particularly a high-waisted style, are designed to address these unique needs:
-
Discreet Ostomy Wear: High-waisted briefs offer smooth, complete abdominal coverage. This gentle support holds the pouch securely and closer to the body, helping to minimise visible movement and creating a discreet silhouette under clothes, an essential benefit for boosting confidence.
-
Minimising Movement and Noise: The internal support system, often including twin pockets, works to gently manage the pouch. This stability helps to minimise movement during activities and reduces appliance noise, offering crucial peace of mind during daily routines.
-
Skin Protection: Our designs feature specialist internal 'scoop pockets' and use soft, breathable fabrics to ensure the appliance is kept away from the skin, helping to minimise common sources of irritation and discomfort.

Choosing Your Support - Twin Pockets and Fit
When selecting your support briefs, look for the following key features:
-
Internal Twin Pockets: This feature is vital as it makes the garment suitable for either a left or right sited stoma, maximising versatility and ensuring the pouch is always positioned securely.
-
High-Rise: The high-waisted design ensures the garment sits above most stoma sites, providing complete, comfortable support across the entire abdomen.
-
Colour and Style Options: Look for products available in versatile colours like Black or White to suit your wardrobe, ensuring your support garments are as discreet as possible.
