Hello everyone, the products I find most helpful for my ileostomy are
Hollister flange without the tape to peel off. I also use a skin barrier called Tens Aces. I buy that on Amazon. It is a little pricey but so well worth it. Around $30. Not a covered skin barrier by Medicare but the best product for your skin. I also use a Hollister ring and slim size because my stoma is small and on the bag I put the paste. I have had a lot of leaks in the paste, but by using these products, it really helps. After everything is on me, I use Hollister Cera Plus adhesive barrier strips all the way around the flange, so 4 of them to make sure I am not going to leak out the sides. These strips are great and they are covered by Medicare. If I have issues with redness or itching around my stoma, I have been using Caladryl. I also use a hair dryer to dry my skin before putting on the ring. Your skin has to be completely dry before attaching the ring and the bag. Hope this information helps any of you.
