I am new to having a urostomy. Can people tell me what brand pouches they have found more reliable?

I use a Convatec 2-piece system, which is the convex baseplate with Durahesive technology, with a Convatec pouch. I have been using Convatec products for as long as I can remember, and it's what has worked best for me, but it is trial and error. Also, I know a lot of people also recommend the Hollister brand. If you have problems with leaking, a stoma seal may help, and if your bag needs to be emptied frequently or you are not sure if you will wake up in time, there are overnight bags that you can use and leg bags for during the day.

Hi: I have had a urostomy for about 15 years now. At first, it was a matter of trying different brands and systems. I think that the shape of your skin and stoma, skin chemistry vs barrier chemistry, etc. all have an effect. Now I have found one major brand that works for me. Others will swear by (or at) other brands. I think you will have to experiment. Good luck.
