Advice on Salts stoma bags for UK ostomates?

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about seeking advice and experiences from UK-based ostomates regarding the use of Salts stoma bags. The original poster is experiencing issues with output leaking past the wafer and causing skin damage. They are specifically interested in hearing about others' experiences with Salts products, as they have mainly used Coloplast in the past.

Advice and Insights
- Some users have had issues with Coloplast products, such as leaks and raw skin, and have found Salts bags to be more secure and comfortable.
- Salts Confidence BE bags are praised for sticking well and being a neat, short bag.
- Using barrier spray or barrier rings can help prevent skin damage from output.
- Allowing the skin to breathe for 10-15 minutes before applying a new wafer can aid in healing the skin.
- Salts bags may be more suitable for formed output, such as with a colostomy, and may not be as effective for higher output ileostomies.
- Some users have found success with using flange extenders, barrier film wipes, and seals from other brands to prevent leaks and protect the skin.
- It's recommended to keep a diary to track foods that affect output consistency and cause discomfort.
- Some users have experienced difficulty removing Salts bags from the skin, while others have found them to be reliable and effective.
