This topic is about dealing with urostomy seal failures, especially during extreme heat conditions. The person sharing their experience has had a urostomy since 2015 and is now facing challenges due to the high temperatures in their desert environment, which often exceed 100°F. This heat causes the adhesive seal to fail more quickly, leading to frequent pouch changes. They are reaching out to connect with others who might have similar experiences and solutions.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. The person currently uses ConvaTec urostomy supplies and finds that sweating during exercise almost always leads to seal failure. To manage this, they schedule workouts just before they plan to change the pouch.

2. It's common for heat and sweat to reduce the wear-time of urostomy supplies. Some people find it necessary to change their pouches more frequently during hot weather.

3. Switching to different equipment might be beneficial. For example, one person switched from a long-used Hollister two-piece urostomy system to a newer version with a ceramide-infused skin barrier. This newer system offers a thinner, "second-skin" fit, resulting in no leaks for a year and extending wear-time from three days to about seven, even with heavy sweating and time spent in a hot tub.

4. Connecting with others who have similar experiences can be reassuring. Knowing that others also face challenges with seal failures during the summer can help reduce anxiety and make it clear that these issues are not unique to one person.
