You may want to try a Moldable Wafer by ConvaTec,
it eliminates the need for paste or seals because it "turtle necks"
to a snug seal around the stoma.
If you stoma is short or flush you may need the Convexity:
http://www.convatec.com/en/cvtus-cvt...tmlmily=99]You can call ConvaTec toll free 1-800-422-8811 and ask for free samples.
I clean the skin around the stoma and COMPLETELY DRY, then spray with 3M Cavilon
no sting Skin Prep. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawe...6EVs6E666666--
and dry again,Then apply Turbot Liquid Skin Tac adhesive on the wafer and on the skin around the stoma, let it dry at least one moment to become tacky, http://www.torbot.com/ecom/product/search/69/ ,
then place the wafer over the stoma and press it snug against the abdomen for at least another 2 min. to help it stick.Then I snap the 1" elastic belt into the loops on the pouch and adjust it to be snug, but not tight, to hold the appliance in place. I change every Sunday.
Good luck and be well,
Charles in TX

try the toll free numers on this site to order free samples to try until you find the best appliance for your stoma:
