This discussion is about finding the most reliable urostomy pouch brands. A new urostomate is seeking advice from others who have experience with different pouch systems. Here are some helpful insights and tips shared by experienced users:

1. Convatec:
- A long-time user recommends a 2-piece system with a convex baseplate that uses Durahesive technology, paired with a Convatec pouch, as very reliable.

2. Hollister:
- This brand is also frequently recommended for urostomy appliances.

3. General guidance on choosing a system:
- Reliability can vary greatly from person to person. Factors like the shape of your stoma, the contours of the skin around it, and how your skin chemistry interacts with the barrier can all affect how well a system works for you.
- Be prepared for some trial and error before you find the best match for your needs.

4. Accessory tips to improve reliability and convenience:
- If you experience leaks, adding a stoma seal, such as a ring or gasket, can help improve the barrier.
- To manage high overnight output or to avoid waking up to empty the pouch, consider connecting it to an overnight drainage bag.
- During the day, leg bags can be a convenient option for extended wear between emptying.
