This topic is about finding ways to make ostomy wafers last longer, especially for those who might be losing their insurance coverage. The main focus is on whether using stoma seals, like Eakin Seals, can help extend the wear time of these wafers. Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have found that Eakin Cohesive Seals, also known as Eakin rings, can significantly increase the wear time of wafers. Some even say they can double the life of the wafer or flange.

2. While the seals themselves can be almost as expensive as a flange, the longer wear time might lead to overall cost savings by reducing the frequency of wafer changes.

3. For the best seal and comfort, it's recommended to position the Eakin ring directly against the stoma.

4. If you're looking for more information or want to see how to apply these seals, you can find videos and demonstrations online by searching for "Eakin Seals."

5. It's worth noting that Eakin Cohesive Seals are made by TG Eakin. Some users who previously used Convatec appliances are considering switching to Eakin if needed.
