Hey George, I have been using the newer Coloplast rings but never tried that method. I really like that idea of putting it on the wafer and then pushing back the material to create an thicker layer of seal. I usually get about 4 days or so already but I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the tip!

I don't have difficulty, in fact remove and replace almost daily for cleaning or other reasons.  I engage the bottom first and gradually work to the top and then clic.

George

Thanks very much. I will try wetting the flange ring with water before attempting to snap the pouch in place.

I use coloplast two piece and I had a lot of difficulty getting them to snap closed , it took a lot of effort and pain as I was pressing down on all the sensitive areas ,

I cant remember where I saw it but the easy way to close the coloplast two piece is to 

place your index fingers on the bottom of the ring and gently but firmly run your fingers up to the top of the ring and it will snap closed , 

it takes a bit of practice but now it works every time for me 

I'll give it a try. Thanks!
