Is it ok to wear support underwear with an ostomy?

The placement of my Stoma isn't conducive to wearing my pouch outside of my underwear or jeans. I had emergency surgery so they did the best they could with placement. Jeans or underwear will fall right off my hips.

That is unfortunate; maybe you can use a stoma guard product of some kind, not those little velcro kind though they suck, to give some air space around the bag while it is in tighter fighting pants. StomaGear makes a StomaShield product that comes in 3 sizes that could help give you some space. I have all three and can use the longer one to allow me to tuck my bag into my pants when needed, which is rare, but I have done it on a few occasions.
