Ostomy Armor Sizing
Learn how to properly size your product here.
With our sizing guidelines and instructions, as well as access to experienced staff, you can rest assured you will receive the correct sized Armor. The right product begins with the right size. If you receive Armor that does not fit correctly, we will gladly exchange it for the proper one. Customer satisfaction really is our number-one goal.
"Will it fit me?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions we hear. The Armor will fit most stomas. However, we can fit anyone from toddlers to adults, custom products for every single size.
Which one is right for me? All products have a curve to accommodate the body shape and all flex comfortably. All Ostomy Armor belts will comfortably hold a hernia back in place, preventing it from further damage.

Ostomy Armor will hold a hernia in place securely and comfortably. The belt is made for your waist size, around where your stoma is. Your regular waist size might not be the same as around your torso at the stoma level.
Please measure where your stoma is, NOT just your pants/trousers/normal waist size. A video is available to demonstrate how to measure. Do not add extra inches for a safety margin, your product will have room to lose and gain weight. If you gain or lose so much that it no longer fits, or if you measured incorrectly, contact us, send it back and we will remake the belt.
Fees for a re-make start at $35 USD and include shipping within the US (extra fees for international shipping will occur). Special custom requests may incur extra costs.
Foam Backing
The back of the Armor has a comfortable foam backing that absorbs impact. This fits on top of the barrier/baseplate/flange and has a channel to allow waste to drain. This two-inch opening will fit over most barriers. After years of testing, our foam is "just right," not too hard, not too soft. It is comfortable, but will not compress excessively or wear out.
It will not allow moisture to absorb and is super easy to clean, and it's covered with a layer of non-slip, non-absorbent material for even greater grip.
