It took my a long time to figure out that I’m allergic/sensitive to adhesive and even longer to find a good product that works for me.  I used to get painful sores around my stoma until I figured all this out.  Because Marlen doesn’t use traditional adhesives I wear a thin elastic waist band to put light pressure on my pouch and stoma like a belt but less bulky allowing my skin temp to help adhere the pouch.  Wear time is 7-10 days.  Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for sharing. It looks like Marlen really expanded on their product offering, even including barriers that look like they can replace Cymed bags for those who've had issues with Cymed.
