Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a user who is struggling with ostomy supplies due to rapid usage and issues with leakage and adhesion. They are currently using tester Coloplast single supplies and are unable to get their desired Hollister supplies until a later date. The user is seeking advice and assistance on how to manage the situation.

Advice and Insights:
- Contact the wound care nurse/doctor and get what supplies are available now, even if they are inferior, to get by in the meantime.
- When changing the bag, use adhesive remover, ensure the area is cleaned with water, pat dry and air dry, then apply the bag.
- Cut the hole in the bag slightly larger than the stoma, warm the bag under the armpit before applying, and apply the bag gently and evenly, holding pressure over all adhesive areas to ensure it sticks well.
- Consider using convex-shaped bags and cutting the wax barrier ring to shape it under the stoma for better adhesion.
- Seek assistance from the facility where the stoma nurse/doctor is located and don't hesitate to ask for help.
- Request free samples from ostomy supply vendors like Hollister and Coloplast to get supplies more quickly.
- Consider trying a two-piece pouch system and a convex pouch to manage different output consistencies and prevent leakage.
- Use lubricants like K Y jelly or baby oil in the pouch to help with output and consider using a solid 1-piece convex system for better adhesion.
- Consider not using the wax ring and ensure the area is clean before reapplying the barrier wipe and bag for a better seal.
- Reach out to ostomy supply vendors and request overnight delivery if needed.
- Consider using adhesive strips or medical tape to seal around the wafer/flange, especially at night, to prevent leakage.
- Stay strong and remember that managing ostomy supplies is a learning curve that changes constantly.
