Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a drain cap for an ostomy bag. The drain cap may be a rectangular pocket shaped structure configured to fit over drainage end of an ostomy bag and prevent accidental openings and provide enhanced user comfort. The pocket may be formed from a fabric having two layers of polyester-spandex and a layer of neoprene sandwiched between the two layers of polyester-spandex. The fabric may provide sufficient elasticity to secure the pocket in place during use. Further, the fabric may provide sufficient thickness to provide cushioning against the drainage end of the ostomy bag preventing skin irritation caused by contact with sharp and rigid edges. The drain cap may slip on easily, stays securely in place due to its bi-directional stretch, and protects the skin from irritation caused by sharp edges.
