I have used the same products (Convatec) for 27 years with no problems. I've been able to get 5-7 days between changes. For the last 3 years, my products just haven't worked as well as they always have. I can remember going to the beach, traveling on planes, boats, etc., and never having to worry about leakage or less wear time. My weight and diet have changed very little. Has anyone else experienced this type of problem?
