Best Appliance Attachment Paste/Glue for Ostomy?

The topic at hand is about finding the best appliance attachment paste or glue for ostomy care. A long-term ostomate has noticed that their usual product, Adapt paste, isn't sticking as well as it used to and is seeking advice on what others are using successfully. Here are some suggestions and insights from the community:

1. Coloplast Brava Strip Paste, often referred to as "Coloplast strips," is a popular choice among many users. Some have also had success with ConvaTec strip paste in the past.

2. Probond prosthetic glue is another option that some people find effective for extra adhesion.

3. For those using Coloplast two-piece systems, combining several products can significantly extend the wear-time, with some reporting up to 6-8 days. The combination includes:
- Coloplast 2-piece Convex base plate
- A sealing ring (barrier seal) applied directly on the skin
- Coloplast Brava Strip Paste applied inside the base plate
- Additional seal paste to close any remaining gaps
- Elastic tape and/or an ostomy belt to reinforce the base plate

4. If leakage is a concern, it's a good idea to consult a stoma nurse or Coloplast Client Advisors. They can recommend the right appliance and seals and are willing to review photos sent by smartphone to provide personalized advice.

5. A practical tip is to watch YouTube videos that demonstrate "how to use strip paste on a colostomy bag." These videos offer clear visual instructions for correct application and improved adhesion.
