Seeking Advice - Managing Colostomy Challenges with Watery Output and Skin Irritation

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about managing challenges related to colostomy, specifically dealing with watery output and skin irritation around the stoma. The original poster is seeking advice on finding a suitable pouching system to address these issues.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider using a convex wafer and an Eakin ring with a two-piece system to help keep everything in place.
- Use a barrier spray or wipe before applying the moldable ring to protect the skin from output.
- Try the Coloplast Sensura convex one-piece with a Brava ring for watery output.
- Consider using a stoma collar made by Salts, along with Ilex paste and Cavilon, to prevent leaking and burning around the stoma.
- Use loperamide to slow down the intestine and thicken the output.
- Consider using the Sensura Mio convex pouch, which has received positive feedback for its effectiveness.
- Look into using stoma collars from Salts Healthcare for a soft edge and proper fit.
- Consider trying out samples of different products to find the best solution for your specific needs.
