I use Convatec 2-piece colostomy drainable snap-on bag system. I am having problems with feces getting trapped under the rim (bag connect side/non-sticky side). I have tried taking a Q-tip and putting baby oil under the rim to keep it from sticking, but it's not helping. It mostly happens when I sleep on my back at night. Any suggestions to keep this from happening will be greatly appreciated. I tried to upload a photograph to highlight the problem area, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. I need to stay with Convatec supplies due to skin sensitivity.
