Hi,
Sometimes I get a leak. My skin is creased near my belly button. That's where it happens. I think the crease causes the sticky ring to lose the seal at that spot. Should I put some stoma paste right next to the ring on my skin so it will trap the leak? Please advise.

Hello. You could try the paste.
Also, cut off a piece of ring, mold it to fit the crease area, and press it into place. Then install the ring on top. You could also add the paste to this as well.
Do you wear a support belt? There are two kinds. A thin one that clips onto tabs on the bag, and wider belts that fit over and around the bag. The wider belts will put pressure on the wafer to help maintain a seal.
Good luck and happy holidays.

Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
