Thanks for that tip.

The last time Hollister updated their appliances, it was a step back. I've since become sensitive to their adhesive, so I haven't worn Hollister bags for years now.

But if they are improving their products, rather than "improving" them (i.e. to lower production costs), then maybe this will be a step in the right direction.

I would be surprised of they changed all their products. This could affect people who don't want or need a change, and may cause people who have had no issues in the past to suddenly develop issues. 

Hi Chelly . Thanks for the heads up . I receive my supplies through Byram Health Care . Most of what I get are Hollister products . I haven't had any problems in 9 years now . And hope nothing starts causing problems for me or anybody else . So ill be curious to see what changes come . 

@veganostomy yes this is why I was wondering  if any of you heard anything. I use the rings and are the only rings I can use so im a little nervous.. 

I was never able to use thier bags as I could not seem to be able to keep one on . If I remember right , it was not the adhesive but that the tape collars would not stick enough and the bags would fall off or leak. Also the closure s  would leak on the bags tail. 

If the do really improve them as you say and not just going cheaper then maybe I may be able to use some of thier stuff other than just rings although I am quite happy with convatec at the moment.  Always have been. 

@njewell1 I get mine thru byram too. Let me know if you hear anything specific about the changes. I'd be interested to know.

Hi Chelly . I definitely will 

I ordered supplies and I guess this is the new cerarings. They no longer say adapt but now say cera plus. Attached a picture. 

 Have yet to try one and I hope they will work for me.  

@chelly Let us know how they work! Their "cera" products can be helpful if you've got dry skin.

@veganostomy I do have dry skin. Ive been using the ceraring for about 5 years now. I think these have that flextend adhesive in them. I put one on today and so far so good. They are hard to get out of the package now though. They have them packaged just like the brava rings now. I tried another regular adapt ring from my sample and its a no go. Was already leaking around the stoma only a few hours later.

I, like you cannot wear hollister either. Im not allergic but one fell off me in the car on the way home from the stoma nurse years ago. It traumatized me so much that  i won't even try them again. I like my convatec but the durahesive can get to be a bit much sometimes. Very sticky and hard to get the build up off the skin.
