I know this question has been posted in the past, but I am testing out this new bag, Coloplast Sensura Mio Convex Flip because I have a hernia. So far, I don't particularly like it. I think it leaks too quickly because of the petal form. I use barrier seals and I've tried using those barrier strip tapes but the tape adhesive is stronger so that it is harder to remove, even with adhesive remover. Seems like you have to use it to cover where the petals indent. I like that it fits over my hernia, but it also makes it more visible in clothing. Lastly, I'm finding that with the Velcro closure even leaks there too, kind of like sweat. Has anyone had all these problems? Am I doing something wrong? I'm probably going back to the Hollister bags I originally used even though they wrinkle around my hernia but they don't leak nearly as often.
