I have been having serious problems with my Hollister products since the pandemic started. Let me start with the fact that I have been using the same products for 13 years prior and there have been no changes to my weight. I was wondering if other ostomates have this issue. I used to get 4-5 days out of an appliance, now we're down to two and on some bad days I have to change twice in one day. Is it bad storage? Supply chain? I need some theories before I phone Hollister because they always find some way to blame it on me and to add new products to my routine. An average appliance change costs about $15 here. Thank God the government pays, but there is always the worry... terror that this *ing thing will leak in public (twice in the last month).
