Experiences with two-piece pouch system and best wafer seals?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice and experiences with a two-piece pouch system for a colostomy and recommendations for the best wafer seals for wafers.

Advice and Insights:
- Try to get as many samples as possible from different manufacturers to compare and find the best fit.
- Coloplast Sensura Mio two-piece system with a belt provides extra support and may be suitable for some individuals.
- Coloplast 10011 wafer and 11124 pouch two-piece system, with a sticker over the filter, can help eliminate odor and provide a good seal.
- Consider trimming the wafers to customize the fit of the stoma as it heals.
- Use Convatec barrier paste for a great seal and consider closing the vent to prevent pancaking.
- Hollister 2-piece system with disposable pouches, especially the mini pouches, may be a good option for those who prefer convenience and dislike draining.
- Medicare and private insurance coverage for pouches may vary, and it's important to consult with the doctor to ensure an adequate supply.
- After emptying the pouch, pouring warm water in and draining it can help keep the pouch fresh and clean.
