Hi,

Lately the barrier extender strips for the flange don’t stick well to my skin. 

Anyone else having this problem?

Morning...

Nope. I do not have that issue.

Those strips stick like crazy. I don't know why you are having a non-stick situation.

It could be a defective lot.

It could be your skin too. However, that would mean your flange or wafer isn't sticking too well either.

Is this true?

Those strips do their job to hold back leakage and give a sense of confidence. Security...

I would question the quality of the product and possibly oily skin or not dry, clean skin. Possible?

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.

I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that

If your skin is wet at all or gets wet then I find they don't stick. I don't know if that is your issue but that is one thing that I have found to be true.

The wafer sticks to my skin well, just the extenders; maybe it is a product defect problem. The last set of extenders I had worked great.

Very helpful

There you go. The extenders you used this time could have been defective. It's always a possibility. Anyone saying otherwise is just not experienced enough to know.

I have put brand new parts in cars, for example. Parts become defective. Shelf life, stocking, temperature all affect the product.

I see it now, the expiration date on the box is May 2023, the strips must have deteriorated.

Definitely an "aah-hah!" moment.
