This discussion is about comparing two types of ostomy barriers from Hollister: the "soft convex" and the regular convex barriers. The person initiating the conversation is curious about how the two compare in terms of flexibility and performance.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. The Hollister soft convex one-piece is more flexible than the regular convex wafer. It offers better adhesion because it moves with your body, which can be more comfortable and secure.

2. The soft convex barrier includes ceramide, which is beneficial for skin health. It also has a tape border and additional side strips for added security.

3. The pouch fabric in the soft convex version is softer and more durable than previous versions. It lasts until change day without shredding, although it dries slower and is more transparent, making the output visible even with a viewing window.

4. Some drawbacks include the pouch material being very see-through, which some users find undesirable. Additionally, the drainable opening is made of thin, un-reinforced plastic, which can be difficult to separate and clean.

5. When compared to the Coloplast SenSura Mio Soft Convex, one user prefers the Mio for its better fit and feel. They find the Mio’s wafer more comfortable, although they consider Hollister’s outlet design to be less favorable.
