Thoughts on Siltac rings?

Anyone use Siltac rings? I had one and thought it worked pretty well. I got 13 days of use. It is silicone-based. It was a little tricky getting it out of the pack; it was so sticky and stretchy, but I got it on. Let me know what you think about it if you use it.

Never heard of them.....it must be Google time.....

Xnine, just got on their website and ordered samples of the silicone rings. I have no skin problems regarding silicone, so I'm looking forward to trying them. As these are UK products, are they available in Canada? I'll be going up there soon and wouldn't mind buying a few items to try that I can't get here. Did you order them or buy them in Calgary (too long drive for me). DLS

I mean Alberta, sorry.

Try the website on the label, they are in Florida. I found one when we did a pack up of surplus supplies for those without overseas. Friends of Ostomates Worldwide Canada.

Canada is far closer than Florida, and I don't know any distributors that carry these in the US. I will check the return address when I get them--How did you get yours? If they sell them in Canada, they sell them all over Canada, so I can get them somewhere in Lower Ontario. I'll start asking around to see what distributors carry them here. I can use any and multiple distributors as long as I don't exceed my limit, which is quite generous. DLS

That is why I posted, so I could find out more. My supplier does not have them. Like I said, I found this one when doing a pack up.

Xnine, right again. I received four samples on Christmas Eve--really fast service. I've had the same one since Christmas day. These are fantastic: no molding, as they mold to you, no leakage, and the silicone is more comfortable (some may be allergic). I will be contacting them to see if they are the sole distributor in the US. If so, I'll have to buy direct (my insurance will cover it, just more paperwork). I received an excellent letter with additional info (watch the video on their website), and their contact info:

They charged me 1.99 USD for 4 samples, but I was able to select the size I needed. The site offers Canadians samples as well, but they want 5.00 for a sample pack. Until we find distributors, it's worth it. Thanks, dls

Huh?

Where do you get samples from? Thanks.

As DLS said 3 posts up or try the site on the label.

I tried once again and it was great. I got 12 days. When I took it off, the flange was starting to lift but the ring seal was still good and no sticky goo to deal with.
