Struggling with Clickable Colostomy Pouches - Need Advice!

This topic is about someone who recently had a colostomy and is experiencing difficulties with a new type of ostomy pouch. They had been using Hollister 70 mm closed-end pouches without any problems, but after switching to Coloplast SenSura "clickable" pouches, they and their spouse are struggling to attach the pouch to the baseplate. They are looking for advice or possibly an exchange option.

Here are some helpful tips and insights:

1. Lubrication Tip: To make the SenSura click mechanism work more smoothly, try using a cotton swab with a tiny drop of dish-washing liquid on the two connecting ring surfaces. It's a good idea to test this at home first, as the pouch might detach more easily until the soap dries.

2. Product Comparisons and Alternatives:
- Some people find the Coloplast SenSura pouches challenging to click into place and notice that the flange feels heavier.
- Hollister systems are often appreciated for being lighter, having a cloth-like cover, and a beige color. However, a few users feel they might not be as secure.
- Convatec two-piece systems are known for their security, though the flange adhesive can be tough to remove, and the white tape might not be visually appealing. This could be a good option if you need more security.
