YEs, I thought so- As there is NO normal stoma, and convetx this and convetx that- ????? and the questions I get when I talk to companies. giving me suggestions-thought Eric is my guy!! Nellie stick out abut an inch, then slopes down- When she is in operation, she becomes a dancer-- But enjoying you all on this private mattter, We will get the STRING out and show and tell time.. 

As of the other issue, I am waiting for others that notice what I am trying to talk about.. BEst.M

A "perfect" stoma is one that's round, protrudes about an inch, and points out. 

Of course, very few people have a perfect stoma and some stomas change with time. 

If someone has a stoma that is flat or goes below the skin, a convex appliance is often recommended. Convex appliances apply pressure on the skin around the stoma, pushing it out. 

I hope that helps 😊

Yes it does. I am almost am perfect.. But I do use a light convetx tho--

Mine sticks out about half an inch . Was started from the hospital with a flat base but had leaking problems was then told to use a convex base and haven't had a leak since .

Oscar is about an inch long when he's not working. He's a bit odd shaped at the base because he is a Loop Ostomy, he has another opening below. WOCN stated it was ok to cover the bottom opening as long as it did not cause leak issues. I ought to try to get a clear picture before I get redone.
