I've just discovered these strips that go over the seal of the bag and they are great. Whoopee, I'm still learning.

That's great. Have you tried the Sure Seal rings? I don't leave home without them. They go completely around the whole flange to stop leaks from all sides. Here is a link if you would like to check them out or ask for samples. http://alpglobal.com/Sure-Seal-TM-Rings.html Hmm, I don't think the link works here; you could just search for Sure Seal rings.
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,405 members.
“Every morning with my coffee, I read here and feel wrapped in warmth - I hardly post, but it still feels like family.”
“Our oncologist literally wrote down the link; they said more patients need this website.”
“This place pulled me out of the dark. I went from lurking to living again.”
“At 3am, someone’s awake somewhere in the world. I’m never alone here.”

Hubz had a regular checkup with the oncologist on Friday (his numbers are improving), and as they were asking how he's feeling since surgery, they became curious about how he's doing so well with his ostomy, both physically and mentally. He credited doing research online, trying different things, and especially the support from this group. They were asking because they see so many patients struggling to adjust.
We described this group as folks with every kind of ostomy, some for days while others for decades, but all willing to share what's worked for them with the caveat that every individual is different.
We described the most valuable element as feeling like you're not alone in this. That really piqued their interest, and they wrote down the link. It seems they had a few people in mind that might benefit from the community and thanked us for telling them about it.
You know, we can't remember exactly who we learned about this group from, but we're grateful for it every day! Thank you all! 🌻

I have used both products and Brava wins hands down. Sure Seal Rings are good but don't breath with the skin. Brava are wonderful.

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.
