Hi, I have the same problem!! It happened to me today - I had a two-piece system on for 6 days, even showering every day, then I changed it because I did not want to push my luck. When I did, I had to change the two-piece system so far 4 times. What I did notice is that my stoma changes size and shape. When it's longer and thinner, my system stays on forever, but when it's short and fat, that is when I have all the trouble. I really don't understand why it does that and I would like some help in either correcting the problem or some way to overcome the issue.
Thanks
Tess
