This topic is about finding a solution to stop leaks for those using ostomy skin barriers. The original poster had been using Hollister New Image flat skin barriers for many years but faced issues with leakage, which limited the wear time to just a few days. Recently, they switched to Hollister’s convex skin barrier made with CeraPlus material and found it to be much more effective, allowing them to wear it for almost 14 days without any leaks. They highly recommend trying a sample of the convex version if you are experiencing similar issues.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from others who have tried this solution:

1. Many people have found that switching from flat to Hollister convex skin barriers, including the "soft convex" and "high-output convex" types, has stopped leaks and greatly increased the time they can wear the barrier.

2. Users have reported that once the leaks stopped, they experienced better sleep and felt more confident overall.

3. Adding barrier extenders to the sides and bottom of the wafer can provide extra security, which is especially helpful for those with urostomies.

4. It's a good idea to periodically test different products and shapes, as the "perfect setup" can vary from person to person and may change over time.
