Well, it was Convatec I used for a long time, but I found my skin was being ripped apart when I tried to remove the bag. Slowly, I would peel back and had maybe 4 to 5 leaks through the years.
Now I use Cymed, which is wonderful. No rashes, no pink, red skin. I hardly ever use any smelly stuff to mask the smell, once in a while some Febreze. I would like to thank all the people for their kind words.
My new journey is going to be wonderful, full of hope and dreams. The winter months keep me from doing a lot. I fell down 3 times last year and
I don't bounce back so easily anymore. But I'm going forward, keeping on smiling, and letting the good Lord help me...thanks again...

Oh, you're so right about not bouncing like we once did, but as long as we get up and try again, we have a chance of getting somewhere :)
