I have been told by WOCN to try a 1-piece convex system? I like 2-piece? I have been using the same system for 36 years -- now with weight gain, age, etc., skin issues, leaks, I cannot get the skin to clear up and the appliance to stay on for over 1 or 2 days when it used to last 5 to 7 days? I am trying NUHope sample 1-piece today, oval feels so much better than stiff Torbot faceplate, gasket, tape! But hate the see-through pouch. Like Hollister 2-piece also, the new pouches and faceplates barriers move with you and are lighter, but how many days wear can I expect? Also use Eakin ring or Adapt ring. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I use a one-piece drainable from Hollister. They make a convex one too. It's a mini pouch, about 7 inches. It's not see-through. It actually has a flesh-colored soft covering. I tried every pouch out there. Got samples from every company. This one I find is the best. The code number for mine is 88730, and that is based on the size of the opening/stoma.
Good luck.
