My WOCN RECOMMENDED any antifungal powder.  Iam using Zeabsorb AF . It stopped most of the itching . It seems that the area gets moist and fungi starts to grow feeding on your skin. Kill the fungi and keeping it dry will solve  the itching. 

I WANTED to go three days after changing yesterday, but apparently that wasn't to be.

I don't know that I HAD to change it this AM, but I spent the full day yesterday in the ocean and pool and I was worried about the integrity of the wafer. I had used Brava externers and they hadn't peeled, but they were getting white along the edges, and that colour concerned me.

Anyway, just to reduce the chances of it coming off in the pool today (an event I'm not sure I'd recover from), I changed. 

It all looked good and the skin has miraculously healed, for the most part. The wafer DID come off very easily mind you so maybe it was a good idea.

There were times when the water was pretty rough, and I was trying my hand at a half ass body surf, so the appliance got thrown around a fair bit - but stayed on :) (thank god)

i wore the comfort belt and it ripped right over and off the appliance a couple of

times in the waves, which scared the hell out of me. Today I'm going to try my vertical stealth belt to see how it does.

It sucks that I had to change again, but I don't think I would have needed to if I hadn't spent so much time in the water.

Hot tub too mind you.

Anyway, shit can literally hit the fan pretty quick around me so I'll definitely proceed with caution, but so far so good. :)

3 days seems good if you factor in the swimming and hot tub , nice to be somewhere that you can go easily into the water at this time of the year , a pity the comfort belt did not stand up to the waves  .

Glad you're at least trying to have fun, Chris! For what it's worth, you now have more experience in the water with an ostomy appliance than I do ;) 

Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

I use all Hollister - New Image two-piece and Slim Rings for more stickiness and convexity.  I put the slim ring onto the barrier before I put it onto me, and I put the ring right at the pre-cut edge of the barrier.  When it warms up, it forms a turtleneck around my stoma and I haven't had a leak (of any kind) since I started doing my barrier changes this way.  I always forget how many days it's been since I changed Rosebud's "clothes", and sometimes there has been literally no adhesive on the tape border, but still it holds with no leaks.  Love my Hollister supplies!!!!  Always use the new Cera Plus and my skin is just as healthy as it would be without the barrier.  Good stuff, that Cera Plus!!!!
