Hello everyone - i was wondering if anyone uses the above product or something that is similar - I have used it over my appliance and it seems to work fairly well ( i am trying to stop my flange from rolling up on one side ) but it says that you can use it under the appliance - how do you put it on? Does the sticky side go on bare skin and then the flange goes on the non- sticky side? I have tried using tegaderm tape and the medical adhesive to stop the flange from rolling up but they are not great at helping. The dip that I have in not bad enough for me to try paste to even everything out. Any help would be appreciated - thanks

The sticky side goes down on your skin. The flange then sticks to the non adhesive side. It may not be sticky but the surface is made to be non pouros to give the flange a nice clean flat surface to adhere to, even if your skin isn't flat. The closer to 100% surface area for the adhesive on the flange has to stick to the better.
As for an external tape I use a 3M product called Medipore occasionally if I'm going to be active. I use a convatec convex one piece system and sometime if I sweat the edge of the adhesive gives a little especially 3 or 4 days in to an appliance.
Hope that helps
