Hello Sophie 96, have just read your post about the heat here in the UK. You don't say which product you are using. If, as you say, the edges of the flange are coming away with the heat, you can get on Scrip, from your doctor, a good product called Salts Secuplast HYDRO SECURITY STRIPS. Product No. SPH1 comes in packs of 30. You can cut them to a more narrow shape if you want or shorter. I do use Micropore Tape 3M PRODUCT NO. 1530/2b, which has been mentioned above. Make sure when you remove your old flange, washer, whatever name you use (as we all have different terms that are used), to clean well. I use Appeel medical adhesive remover wipes. Product No. 3505 comes in a box of 30. By the way, I use Assura flange by Coloplast. Gee. Hope this helps.
