How the Better Life Ostomy Belt is worn

Person in the illustrations below has a stoma on his right side. The belt will work equally well whether your stoma is on your right side or your left side. Simple instructions are provided with the belt.

	You will start with your pouch attached horizontally to your body. Step into the belt and pull it up into position over your stoma. Bring your pouch through the hole on the inside of the open pocket of the belt.
	After laying your pouch within the pocket area, you will close the pocket by simply pressing the velcro closure together. The velcro is only on the two sides and the top of the pocket.
	To empty your pouch, partially open the pocket by peeling back the top corner of the pocket. Reach in to retrieve your pouch. Let it hang down clear of the belt and empty as you normally do.
	Tuck your pouch back into the pocket and press the flap closed. It couldn't be easier and only takes a few seconds. Note that it is not necessary to remove the belt to empty your pouch.
