A couple of people are losing insurance, does anyone else find stoma seals make wafers last? Are there any other suggestions for them?

The Eakin rings double my wear time. I can't do without them. Cost-wise, they are almost the price of the flanges....

Hi, what are Eakin rings? What is the manufacturer's name? I live in Dubai. Please give me more details about the product, so that I can see if I can find them here.



Have you also tried to take a shower with the flange and bag on (and without any cover over them to prevent them from getting wet)? Do Eakin rings help in this case?

Hi!! I am new in Dubai, and need to buy stomacare products. I am used to Convatec, but am willing to change if necessary. Where are these things sold? Please help!

If you Google "Eaken Seals" there's even a video showing how they're used.  I feel way more comfortable using them right up against the stoma.
