The one that I'm using is only 9 inches tall also. Because I have a long torso I use a 10 inch regular binder above the binder that I use for my lower abdominal region. You need to adhere the colostomy/urostomy to the skin and then the binder will help prevent any problems. If you get the right size it should move it all and it is pretty easy to put on.
My problem is going to be that I I am considering getting a colostomy along with the urostomy I already have. Then getting a binder that I can wear with both of them will be a little more tricky.
