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?

Hubz had a regular checkup with the oncologist on Friday (his numbers are improving), and as they were asking how he's feeling since surgery, they became curious about how he's doing so well with his ostomy, both physically and mentally. He credited doing research online, trying different things, and especially the support from this group. They were asking because they see so many patients struggling to adjust.
We described this group as folks with every kind of ostomy, some for days while others for decades, but all willing to share what's worked for them with the caveat that every individual is different.
We described the most valuable element as feeling like you're not alone in this. That really piqued their interest, and they wrote down the link. It seems they had a few people in mind that might benefit from the community and thanked us for telling them about it.
You know, we can't remember exactly who we learned about this group from, but we're grateful for it every day! Thank you all! 🌻

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.

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

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.

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.
