Maybe consider something like a StealthBelt and regular swim shorts?

I use regular swim trunks, but I wear an under armour compression shirt to cover and hold the appliance in place, and then wear a rash guard shirt on top of that. Works out well for me.

I have always used regular swimwear with a top portion cut from a pair of pantyhose beneath.

I wear a regular bathing suit with a wrap from Ostomy Secrets. Best of luck — enjoy yourself 😎

You might want to try this company - they have high waisted swim shorts especially made for people with an ostomy.
comfizz.com
They are in the UK but shipping doesn't take long.
