Very interesting.

I don't use cerarings, so I can't really compare myself, but it may be worth inquiring with Hollister to see if they'll admit to any formula change.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've had to swap an ingredient or two of there have been any raw material shortages, but that's just a thought. I have no idea of they've done that.

Hi,

Excellent forum/information/advocacy site. Just in regard to the post regarding the Cera Rings, I also have noticed a change in the color of the rings...sort of lighter type color, very similar to the photos in original post.  I have not really noticed a major difference in performance of the barrier rings, but will pay some closer attention to see if wear time, etc has changed. But, yes, coloring has changed in the recent supply I received.  

I noticed a while back in the look and color and also had called them about it.  I was having a major sticky issue in my bag. They swore no changes at all but I disagree because they totally look different. They act different as well so I just stopped using rings at all. Hollister rings used to be the only ones I was not allergic to. 

After emailing them and sending that picture, they sent me replacments that look the same (opaque). So I guess that's just how they are now.

Yes and for some reason they don’t wanna admit they changed anything because I called them a while back. 

I was using these every time..but really examined my stoma recently and discovered my size went down from a precut 1 1/4 to a precut 1 1/8..much better sizing so I don’t have that millimeter of exposed skin..don’t need to use the rings as much which makes shaving so much easier
