A couple of people are losing insurance, does anyone else find stoma seals make wafers last? Are there any other suggestions for them?

Hi, what are eakin rings? What is the manufacturer name? I live in Dubai. Pl give me more details about the product, so that I can see if I can find them here.
Have you also tried to take a shower with the flange and bag on (and without any cover over them to prevent from getting wet). Does eakin rings help in this case?

Hi!! I am new in Dubai, and need to buy stomacare products. I am used to Convatec, but am willing to change if necessary. Where are these things sold? Please help!

If you Google "Eaken Seals," there's even a video showing how they're used. I feel way more comfortable using them right up against the stoma.
