I posted about these a while back and finally got my samples. I just put one on and only had to stretch it a minimal amount instead of stretching my normal rings a lot. I hated stretching the rings out so much that they lost their thickness. Using this StomaWrap keeps the ring's thickness intact. My stoma is 44mm. Might be worth a try for anyone sporting bigger stomas.

Never heard of them! I'll ask for a sample and see how they are for me. Thanks for the review.

Alex, please send the link so we can see what you speak of. Please and thank you. Have a great weekend.

MeetAnOstoMate website turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I say this because, for me, this ostomy journey was a devastating event both physically and mentally.
Here, I found folks who understood my feelings even better than my family or friends could. Only a fellow ostomate can understand how you really feel.
Information sharing is key, as well as support and understanding, to ultimately bring more harmony into our ostomy life journey. I found here, virtually no ostomy questions that are not touched upon. Questions which some might feel, may be too trivial to contact a doctor about or even too shy or embarrassed to ask their own doctor about. They are all addressed here.
For me, anonymity was very helpful in seeking answers to each phase of this life changing medical and mental event. Sharing initial trauma feelings, ongoing support and finally acceptance was what I found with my membership here. I am not sure what my mental and physical attitude would be today without having found this site.
Additional benefits included: finding products and ideas to help with daily maintenance, innovative ideas and as a bonus - some great humor.
After all “laughter IS the best medicine”.
I have been a member for 3 years, an ostomate for 4 years - yes, I certainly wish I would have found it immediately after surgery but so very thankful I finally found it when I did as I truly believe it turned my troubled depression and situation into a more positive attitude and acceptance.
Sincerely,
An Ileostomate nicknamed Justbreathe 🫶🏼

After constant issues with leakage, I finally found ConvaTec SUR-FIT Natura® Urostomy Pouch with Accuseal® Tap along with the Natura® Moldable Durahesive® Skin Barrier with Acrylic Flexible Collar. The flexible collar is almost like a turtleneck for your stoma. I started using this last month and haven't had any leaks since. Before, my Coloplast would only last 2 to 3 days and these are lasting me 4 to 5 days. I love them!

Are they any better than the original Eakin ones? I was using those ones 30 years ago. They were a pain in the butt when it came to removing them. Used to take forever in the day to remove all the residue left behind.
