Belly bags have a 1000cc capacity.

That's impressive compared to a leg bag.
Do you connect it to a night bag at night too?

A quick search online shows most go up to 1000ml.

I wear my catheter and belly bag 24/7. Large\XLG disposable mens underwear with the wide waist band keeps the bag softly against my body for day and night use.

Oh, and don't forget to use a Prevail type\brand underpad under the sheet. Sometime I've forgotten to close the valve at night if I'm sleepy in the bathroom emptying. Nothing worse than waking up in a wet spot if you don't have to. :o

The leg bag I use is 900mls, made by Hollister, there are some that are just about as large, I prefer that size as I know I am good for at least two voids without being full and having a disaster, I usually drain it asap anyhow. Puffy

BB 58,
Thank you for the suggest on the belly bag. I gave it a try and I am going to stick with my leg bag. I already have a special holster to hold it in place on my thigh and that works best for me, Thank you again for the suggest, maybe someone else here will like it better.

What kind of holster? I've seen a few and don't want to waste money to try it out.

BB58,
I use the Netti pants, they hold my leg bag up so it doesn't move down my leg. They are very comfortable and they are strong enough to carry a full bag till you can get to a place to drain it. The belly bag is a great idea but, my bladder needs natural gravity to aid it, to drain properly.

UROCARE makes a "sock" that the leg bag slides into. They make them for lower leg and thigh. Don't think that helps for the belly bag users but the leg/thigh bag users could benefit from it.
