Recently started using a Hollister 1pc (8664) and have experienced a sporadic occurrence of vent leaks or failures where liquid passes through the vent with varying flow rates. Sometimes minor leakage while sleeping and other times as if the pouch had an open hole. Wear time before failure ranges from 1/2 day to 4 days. Is there something I could be doing to prevent this? Otherwise, I am satisfied with the comfort and seal to my skin using this product such that I don't want to switch unnecessarily. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
