This topic is about comparing two brands of urostomy bags, Hollister and Coloplast, focusing on their adhesive comfort and drainage systems. The person sharing their experience is 10 days post-urostomy and has tried both brands' one-piece systems. Here's what they found and some advice from others:

- Hollister:
- After wearing it for 4 days, the outer-edge adhesive around the barrier ring caused skin irritation. The built-in drainage valve was not preferred.
- Switching to the Hollister CeraPlus Skin Barrier Ring 11505 with pouch 18413 helped eliminate irritation and extended the wear time from 3 days to 7–9 days. This made the system more economical despite the higher cost of the ring.
- With the 11505 ring, thorough blow-drying after showering is no longer necessary.

- Coloplast SenSura:
- No skin irritation was experienced, and the simple plug drain was preferred because it is easier to use and automatically opens when a night bag is attached.
- Many users rate the Coloplast SenSura Mio (both one-piece and two-piece) highly. The soft grey fabric looks less medical, crinkles less, and the adhesive is very reliable with minimal skin issues.
- The high-output pouches with a soft, squeezable tap drain freely and avoid clogging, unlike hard-tap designs.

- Convatec:
- The Accordion Flange barrier holds the pouch away from the skin, folds flat under clothing, and reduces the burn if a leak occurs. However, the high-output bag uses a hard plastic tap that can clog with food particles like corn, carrots, and peas.

- Alternative drainage setups:
- A system that routes tubing down the leg to a shoe-level tap can be practical and hygienic for people with mobility challenges.

- Positioning and support garments:
- Wearing the pouch sideways with a Spandex maternity support or an OstomySecrets two-pouch belt can improve comfort. However, some belts may pull on two-piece systems.
