Love this pouch when first applied. Very comfortable. However, three times it has leaked when the pouch first fills up. I use an Eakin ring and barrier strips. I'd appreciate others' experiences.

It didn't work for me. I went back to a Sensura Mio deep convex one-piece.
This is a remarkable community of 40,870 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.

Did you have the same issue as me? What is the order number?
Thanks for the quick reply.

I am now using Salt's rings. I get 15 days before I need to change. They stick really well.

'Comfort' would seem to be a very subjective and somewhat complex concept. There is little I find 'comfortable' about wearing any type of bag, having been used to irrigation and wearing a 'plug'.
With a plug I could wear an effective hernia belt on top of the stoma which prevented my peristomal hernia getting worse. Wearing a bag does not allow for this as the belt would prevent output.
The discomfort I feel therefore tends to be psychological rather than physical, based on the concern that having virtually no support in that area might lead to bigger problems than simply waste management.
This reply probable doesn't help with your question very much, but it simply describes how it is for me!
Best wishes

Yes. I have been using this right along. I don't have a cut to fit so it depends on stoma size. Google SenSura Mio Deep Convex One Piece.
