Underwear is an item of clothing most men wear on a daily basis. Right? So it’s crucial to pick the perfect briefs!

If you’re a stoma wearer choosing the right underwear can be tricky. But don’t worry – Vera SA has you covered! Seriously, we’ve taken into consideration important aspects to ensure you feel confident – and most importantly – comfortable in our underwear. 

You can expect our briefs to cover the whole pelvic area, and give you the right support.

Ø   Keeps ostomy pouch supported and flat against your stomach.

Ø   Completely covers the pouch up to the base of your skin barrier, reducing friction between the pouch and your skin.

Ø   Supports the weight of the pouch as it fills, providing you with additional security & confidence.

Ø   Smooths “bumps” as the pouch fills, making them less noticeable.

Ø   Prevents pouch from “swinging” under clothing.

Ø   Can be used for right-sided and/or left-sided ostomies.

Ø   Won’t pill, sag, lump, ride up, or bleed colour.

Our undies check all the boxes for workout underwear and are perfect for cycling, weight-training, spinning, and more – great with sweat-wicking!

When it comes time to empty your ostomy pouch, you can often easily remove it from the undergarment pocket without needing to pull down or remove the undergarment completely. If you have an irrigate, you should be able to comfortably wear Vera SA underwear without problems.
