Opinions on Sensura Mio Flex bags with adhesive coupling?

This topic is all about the experiences people have had with the Coloplast SenSura Mio Flex two-piece bags, which use an adhesive to attach the pouch to the baseplate instead of the usual mechanical "click" ring. The main concern is whether this adhesive system holds up well in everyday life. Here are some insights and advice from those who have tried it:

1. Adhesive strength and reliability
- Users report that the adhesive bonds very firmly when the pouch is aligned correctly using the blue alignment ring as a guide.
- There have been no reports of leaks or separations during daily activities or showers.
- One person even compared the adhesive's strength to that of a strong contact cement.

2. Importance of correct alignment
- It's crucial to position the pouch precisely before pressing it onto the baseplate. Once it's stuck, it stays very secure.

3. Comfort and profile
- The adhesive version is thinner and less bulky than the SenSura Mio 2-piece "click," which some people find more comfortable under clothing.

4. Security add-ons
- A long-term user adds an extra barrier ring at the top of the pouch for extra security when the pouch gets heavy, although they admit it's not strictly necessary.

5. Mobility and dexterity advantages
- Since there's no locking ring involved, the adhesive coupling is much easier to change with one hand, which is helpful for those with limited hand or arm movement, such as after a stroke.

6. Comparison with SenSura Mio 2-piece "click"
- While many find the click coupling secure, one user experienced their click pouch detaching after leaning against a pool wall and believes the adhesive version might prevent this.
- Another person tried switching from adhesive to click but found the click unsuitable and returned to the Mio Flex.

7. Product availability and configuration notes
- Some users initially received flat samples, but a convex version may be necessary for those who usually wear convex bases.
