This topic is about whether Eakin Cohesive Rings, also known as Eakin seals, can be used with Hollister flange and pouch systems without causing any issues. Here are some helpful insights and advice from users who have experience with these products:

1. Many users have had success using Eakin Cohesive Seals with Hollister wafers/flanges and pouches. They find that these products work well together, and there's no need to use paste.

2. Some users prefer Hollister's own rings but have no problem with the compatibility of Eakin rings with Hollister products.

3. A user with two stomas uses Eakin rings on one side and a liquid skin bonding agent on the other. They report that the side with the Eakin ring performs reliably.

4. However, a few users have noted potential issues. One user experienced leakage at the junction between the Hollister plastic ring and the pouch fabric when using Eakin rings. The leaks improved after they stopped using the rings, suggesting that the rings might sometimes interfere with proper coupling or seating.

5. Another user who finds that wax-based rings "melt" during wear adds extra security by using Hollister Adhesive Spray #7730 over the wafer before applying the Eakin seal.

6. Some alternative products and tips include using Hollister brand barrier rings as an alternative to Eakin rings and using Hollister Adhesive Spray #7730 as a supplemental adhesive when the Eakin ring softens or erodes.
