Hey, just thought I would share something I discovered.
I know this probably won't work for most, but for those who still have most of their colon with thicker output and develop a rash under the outer adhesive part of your flange it might help.
I use a Hollister flange with a Cera ring. I was getting 5 to 6 days on the flange. A few months ago I developed a rash around the outer edge. I went down to 3 days and used zinc shampoo and butt paste diaper rash cream and it did a pretty good job but still a little red.
I figured that since I have never had output get past the Cera ring and the Ceraplus part of the flange I would just cut off the tape around the edges. Works great. Redness is almost gone. I do wear a stealth belt that secures bag and flange pretty well.
