This topic is all about exploring the real-world experiences and reusability of Trio's new silicone ostomy products, including the Genii and Siltac rings, Silken gel, Elisse skin-prep spray, Elite adhesive remover, and Silex extenders. Here are some insights and advice gathered from users:

1. **Product Details and Questions**
- The exact thickness of Trio’s thinnest flat Genii Silicone Ring is estimated to be around 2-3 mm, though customer service couldn't confirm this.
- Users are curious if the silicone ring bonds securely to the hydrocolloid adhesive of a Hollister barrier and stays in place like a standard Hollister hydrocolloid ring.
- Trio claims the rings don’t break down and can be reused, but users are wondering for how many wear cycles this is true.
- There are questions about whether the Silken silicone gel fuses to the ring and how it can be removed for potential reuse.
- Users are also interested in any adherence issues between Silken gel and a Hollister hydrocolloid barrier.
- Another point of interest is whether a Hollister barrier will adhere properly if Elisse skin-prep spray is used.
- It's unclear if Trio’s Elite adhesive remover is necessary to remove Elisse or if it's just optional.

2. **Ordering & Samples**
- Customers in the U.S., U.K., and Australia have successfully obtained generous free sample packs directly from Trio. It's recommended to use the web form if phone support is not helpful.

3. **Application & Wear**
- The rings are easy to apply, conform well, and do not dissolve in output. They bond firmly to the appliance flange but have a lighter grip on the skin. One user noted they peeled off easily when removing the pouching system but never leaked.

4. **Skin Compatibility**
- Experiences vary: one person had a poor skin reaction and returned to using Salts hydrocolloid seals, while another wore a ring on intact skin for three weeks without irritation.

5. **Thickness & Size**
- Users have observed that the rings feel similar in outside diameter and are slightly thinner than typical hydrocolloid seals, around 2 mm, though the exact specification is still unknown.

6. **Re-usability**
- Community feedback on reusability is limited. One user felt there was nothing to reuse, but the originator's ongoing trial suggests the ring can be washed and reused without losing tackiness or shape. More data is expected.

7. **Alternative Products Mentioned**
- Other products discussed include Hollister hydrocolloid barriers, Eakin Cohesive seals, Salts rings, and Trio accessories like Silken silicone gel, Elisse skin barrier spray, Elite adhesive remover, and Silex seal extenders.

8. **General Tip**
- Since Trio’s silicone does not swell or erode, it's a good idea to check the fit after several days. If the edges lift from the skin, additional reinforcement like tape or an elastic belt may be needed.
