There has been some talk about a hole punch for the wafer.I have this but am sorry i can not find the web address for more details yet.Hope someone can get on the net and find it and share the address because it is a great tool.You measure your stoma and then order your size round blade.It is a perfect fit around the stoma every time which helps to secure it on longer with a smaller chance of leaks than if you are still cutting the holes with a pair of scissors.

I use a hammer and a punch,I also have these nice rounded scissors,and you can order from convatec the wafer you widen with you finger and it snuggles to your stoma.I used a small torch one day and it worked okay,melts nice and smooth.I like to carry a fanny pack around and the smaller the cutter the better.One day up on the mountain I put the wafer on the ground and put a quarter over the hole and stepped on it,not bad maybe next time I'll drive over it.

This group has been my go-to during my loneliest hours whenever I've had a "bag blowout" at 3am and there was no one else in the world to talk to.

Because it's a global community, there's always someone here to lend an ear, provide advice, and just hold my hand if that's all I need.

Sure, there's also a lot of camaraderie, fun topics, and laughs, but the main reason I come here is for the total acceptance I get from the members. No one else on the planet could possibly "get" what I'm going through, not even my loving husband or supportive family.

The "Meet an Ostomate" forum is definitely a one-of-a-kind family, which I am very proud to belong to.

Yes i only use convatec pouchs and wafers.I guess because that is what the hospital used on me first but i have had other samples that i looked at but not used.

Ok here is the hole punch.I got mine 4 or 5 years ago from a different company but these are the same. The tool plus the blade {make sure you get the right size} was $150 then.I know sounds expensive but the blade {that round metal thing} is surgical steel and it has never dulled for me .Same hole every time and takes about 3 seconds to make. It should last the rest of my life.

That will do it. Again make sure you get the right size cutting blade for you.That is the most expensive part. In my convatec wafer box they always have a measuring device so maybe yours does to.
