I have been using Coloplast SanSura mio appliances. I have struggled with leaks, blowouts and really bad pancaking. I got samples of convatech 2 piece with adhesive connection. So far I have had the longest wear (4 days), they have not had bad pancaking issues . So far the only issue is that the pouch material crinkles real loudly ( I tell people that Stella is wearing a petticoat) and it sticks o my skin. Using a pouch cover takes care of both. Before I change I wanted to see if anyone out there had used them and had problems. Thanks!!

Yep mine too can make noise!! the pouch can also stick to the side of the wafer after a few days of wear. the way I have always looked at these issues is, I get good results and piece of mind. That aside if the noise was an issue or making the wearer feel self conscious I can understand. but worst things can be happening. great to hear its working well for ye. I put some baby powder under the pouch, helps with the sticking! ileostomy 31st August 1994 for Crohns Hi Barbara, Crinkling pouches drive me crazy! Are you wearing a clear or opaque version? I find that using a pouch cover can help a little with reducing pouch noise, so if that's an option for you, consider trying it :) Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. Thanks John. I am feeling that way too... I like It so use it. Thanks for the baby powder isea, will try it Severe rheumatoid arthritis, spondoloarthropy, polymyalgia rhumatica, type 1 diabetic, IBS and finally, emergency diverticulitis surgery, colon removed Stella born Jan. 27, 2017. 6 bouts of c-diff, failed fecal transplant.

Complete colonectomy and ileostomy July 30, 2018. ENOUGH!! I'd be willing to bet that the opaque ones are quieter, I know the Hollister ones don't make as much noise. Just depends on how they are made. UC since 2002, subtotal colectomy Dec. 2016, proctolectomy Nov. 2018. I wear a clear pouch, have had no noise issues. I wear Hollister. I wasn't crazy about pouch covers. I wear wraps/tubes..tucks everything in, quiet. I've been lucky with my 2 piece. No serious issues. Because of Eric/ The Front Butt U Tube videos I've learned alot. My confidence level rose. :) I use Hollister products. Thanks. I am ordering samples of the opaque and will let everyone know after I test ut.

It's possible that it can help. Some of the pouches I have are certainly more "quiet" in the opaque versions, but it depends on the material/brand/pouch size/etc...
Can't hurt by trying :)
