I finally got a sample of the hollister adapt rings the regular ones and really not much difference than the cera rings. Im allergic to eakin and Brava.  Guess for now I stick with the cera rings.

Are you judging them based on look/feel or have you used them? I find that some barrier rings look similar, but have a different formulation, so they behave differently.

But due to your allergies, I would be cautious with anything new anyway.

@veganostomy hello, no i based it on performance . I used one and seemed to be leaking more with the water thing. I will try another just to be sure because they gave me 2 boxes

@chelly Nice! I'm glad you're open to testing! Good luck.

@veganostomy thanks, yes i test when I can sit in the house and not have to do anything or go anywhere. I'll be testing these things again here shortly.

@chelly ... i was just thinking... would it work for *allergy*  reasons to just test a partial section of the ring first so your whole skin area is not affected by an allergic reaction ??  Or have you already tested it out? 

@dlkfiretruck i've already tested it out. None of the hollister rings bothering my skin at all. The eakin , the brava and anything else breaks me out of an itchy rash. Yes, I did.The testing already way back.

I came back to say that i am now testing something different to see if the seals act better and dont break down as quickly. 

I noramly give the end of my ostomy bag a good wipe with a water wipe both the outside and the inside of the tail end.  but those water wipes still do contain another ingredient which can be slippery or moisturizing. I do rinse them real good under water before using but maybe residue still on there? 

I got yo thinking that linda has said she uses toilet paper only to wipe the end after rinsing. She has also said her pouches last quite a good time.

So im going to use only toilet paper all of today to wipe the tail end inside and outside instead of the wipes to see if the seals last longer and dont break down. 

Ill be back with the result later. Im determined to get to the bottem of it. 

@chelly Good luck! 

I would assume that traditional "wet wipes" would contain extra moisturizers and ingredients which could impact the adhesive of the wafer.
