With this one it’s such a personal choice and will not be the same for everyone so it’s important to not feel under pressure to wear something that shows your bag if you do not feel comfortable. Me personally, I do not mind my bag being on show when in swim wear but on my first holiday I did, so I covered it up wearing one piece swim suits, I bought a lot of throws and cover ups that where still light but kept my bag covered so I was more comfortable and I wore high waisted underwear to ensure it didn’t show through any of my clothing.

Tip: if you are wearing anything high waisted over your stoma bag in the heat, put baby powder between the bottom of you bag and your skin just so the bag isn’t pressed against the skin to reduce sweating.
