Since having an ileostomy (emergency surgery with loss of most of the small bowel) in 2015, I have experienced seepage/leaks from time to time and never became really confident when out and about. Recently, I was recommended to try Brava Strip Paste (2655) and this has proven extremely effective for me. I wind the strip close around the stoma, forming an ultra snug collar, and then apply a 76 mm diameter Coloplast Seal (12032) over the top. (I use a Hollister Moderma Flex bag (5691038)). So far, each and every time I take off, there is absolutely no seepage at all. Happiness!

I found the same with the paste. Just remember with paste that if a little works, then more is too much.
