Is it me or is it a manufacturing flaw at the edge of Coloplast 15521 one piece pouches? I have an ileostomy with mostly watery output. Every few months I have a leak always at the right edge of the pouch. I can't see exactly where it is coming from but it is approximately one inch below the visible flange from the front, at or close to the right edge. I coated the tips of the scissors with nail polish so there isn't a sharp point that can poke a tiny hole when I cut the stoma opening. But if it's a manufacturing flaw wouldn't that also happen on the left side sometimes? So now I know to not apply a new pouch before I go to work because duct tape wasn't effective at stopping a leak the one time that I experimented with that.

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.
