Safe n Simple Conforming Adhesive Seals: This is a new product that looks and feels just like Eakin or Adapt rings and are used in the same way. They look like regular rings, but they perform differently. The Safe n Simple Conforming Seals absorb moisture and actually "conform" to the stoma (like a turtle-necking effect), which prevents leaks onto my skin and increases my wear time. I can go 7 days without changing out my flange since I started using them. *Two thumbs up*
Sure Seal Rings: These are ultra thin, clear, breathable seals that go OVER your flange/wafer. They are a bit difficult to apply at first because they are so thin and transparent, but once you get the hange of it, they are awesome for added flange longevity and security. They 'seal' the flange very securely and keep everything in place. Typically, you apply them over your flange/wafer BEFORE you attach your bag. I like to wear one-pieces however, so I put on my one piece, then enlarge the hole in the Sure Seal to make it just big enough to push my bag through. *Two thumbs up*
These two products are the best new tools in my ostomy tool box, thus far. I will post other new discoveries as they hit the market and I discover them. I hope you will find them as helpful as well!
