Anyone tried Nu-Hope non-stick ostomy bags?

Topic Explanation:
The initial post is about a non-stick ostomy bag called Nu-Hope. The user is seeking information and experiences from others who have used this product, as they are dealing with inflamed skin and are interested in an alternative that is not stuck to the body.

Advice and Insights:
- Nu-Hope offers 4 different versions of an adhesive barrier system and one non-adhesive system. The non-adhesive system uses a rubber O-ring held against the stoma by a belt. It works well as long as physical activity is limited to prevent the O-ring from losing contact with the stoma and causing a leak.
- Tips for overcoming inflamed skin include using yellow Dial soap for cleaning, applying Mylanta and using wipe or spray-on skin prep, trying different convex flanges and barrier adhesives, using EAKIN rings, wearing a belt for added security, and changing the bag when the skin under the flange starts to get itchy.
- Some users have found success with unconventional methods such as using O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream to create a protective layer on the skin's surface that boosts moisture levels and helps with adhesion. It is recommended to rinse the area off after using it.
- Nu-Hope non-adhesive products can be found on their website, and free samples can be ordered if needed.
- Experimenting with different products and methods is essential, and sharing personal experiences and remedies can be beneficial for others dealing with similar issues.
