Crop tops and PEG tubes?

Hi! 24F here who just got her PEG tube a couple weeks ago. My normal daily attire is crop tops, and since my dangler is 15inches from the stoma to the end, covering is is sort of uncomfortable anyway (the tube is really bulky when I coil it, but coiling it up is how it’s most comfy).

I’m not worried at all about anyone seeing the tube, and generally could care less if I get any questions about it or weird stares, but is it gross and unsightly if my crop tops fall above the stoma, so you can see the external bumper and tubie pad?

I don’t care too much about conformity, but maybe it’s one thing for the tube to show and another for the base of the tube/stoma to show? I imagine with a tubie pad it’s okay, but I’m wondering what others think or if anyone else with a G or J tube does this!

Thanks :)

Edit: Thank you all so much for the overwhelmingly positive responses! This is my first time posting in this sub and you all seem like lovely people. Everyone is right - it’s not gross and my comfort takes priority! I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond :)

Hi! Fair neutral/cool olive here looking for more lip liners with that olive green/yellow base! Think Mac Greige, ABH Sepia, Natasha Denona Storme. They’re the only ones that look truly cool on me without having an overly purple base.

I know that’s a common eyeliner/eyebrow pencil shade, but those formulas just don’t last on me and they’re too smudgy. Lip liner formulas are preferred, but if you know of an eyeliner in that shade that stays in place super well, I’m open!!!

Thanks :)
