I use the coloplast. And I have been more satisfied with it than any others. My ostomy nurse also told me not to use barrier sprays or barrier wipes or powder unless I absolutely have to. She also taught me the trick that I've seen on here I'm using my hair dryer to warm the appliance after I have it all put together and sticking to me. It works a whole lot better than laying there for 5 or 10 minutes with my hand on it especially when my hands are cold anyway. So I started doing that with a hair dryer and it has helped and so far the coloplast isn't too bad. Hope it works for you

Welcome to the lounge all--- This is taking place in Ohio, in Fleicitys hospital room.. Robert is traveling to Ohio to snatch Fleicitys bacon..  Bringing a gift of corn.. POP CORN to make POP CORN balls for the holidays.. Even brining in his popper that electric to wooooo the nurses..  Eric will be joining them soon as this is natural eats for him.......... (I think) Another trip to the USA for Eric.. The bus leaves every day every hour at no charge for this gathereing.

Got my Christmas tree up with tinsel.. Mr. Poo my cat, kept one open during this.. See what happens during the night--He may get a hug, or slapped. But he is a good boy....

Marcie aren't you going to be in Felicity's room  too ? I will leave some of the bacon for her in trade for a popcorn ball (always had them growing up ) good stuff . How bout everybody else not much of a party with just us three . If our cat starts messing with the tree we put mouse traps (not set) under it n he leaves it alone . All our decorations inside n out went up last weekend . Glad that's done .

Oh Ya, I am always at the lounge!!!!!  Got help out with the pop corn balls!! We can play country Christmas music...... DID  u invite John and Tony?  Illola and bubbles, and "Z"?  Barbara is on board too............. Right Barb?  She already invited everyone else..  She is waiting down at the main lobby-- passing out name tags with "VISITORS" on them a the moment.. :-) Mark is directing traffic--he got hold of the "free parking stamp" don't tell anyone else but us!! O.K.????? Barbara sais the they are going crazy looking for it--said it real funny-they have security on it now.. 

Gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Robert!!!!!!! Watch that pop corn maker!!! - your burning it-- pay attention and get your eyes off those fish flops!! Yes, u can use bacon grease in the popper- Get a hold of yourself Robert!! Calm down--  Illola has toilet paper stuck on her shoes.... I am soo embarrassed!!! She doesnt care---  Got to get our Mary on this of proper exit check........ 

Also, we have a pot-a-john down the hall for our use only-- :-)  ---  

Marcie I think what you smell burning is just the fire place I am using an air popper for the popcorn n yes a little bacon grease . John n Tony were coming but said they would be a little late . Does John know you have a pot a John for us to use ?? Mark is doing a great job in the parking lot but still leaving a lot of burn out spots . How bout Dona have you heard from here ? We have to get all the west coast people here too . Is Zvitusk gonna make it tonight ? We're saving a seat at the table for Felicity just in case she is up to it . Barbara remember if the popcorn balls aren't enough we can always pickup a Grand Slam on the way home again . And yes Marcie we will get a Uber ride big enough to carry us all so you can come too . We are not leaving you behind . Wait who's picking up John Tony from the airport ?

Robert, YOU were suppost to pick them up!!  Remember????  IT was in you last e-mail to them...  Ahhhhh  yes,, the fire place.. that is only the one that Bubbles brought that is poropne--use only-- It is decorative-- and transportable.. Though Feleicity would like a homey room-- home away from home.. Barb, she is running out of keyo suyup to make the pop corn ball stick-- Pick some up on the way from the air port. Please??????? thanks..  Nurses r getting rather upset as we are using their dis-infected wipes.. The fly on the wall over heard them... SO can you also bring some bottles of water and paper towels too?  Mark is done with the parking issues.. He left you a space marked VIP ONLY and there is a sticker that says PIV on it.. Barb had that sticker ready at the check out dept. USE A MIRROW!!  As of now, he is using Barb's cane wheeling himself around the hall way batting some pop corn balls.  As, the house cleaning can have any left overs, they don't mind (at this time).. hee hee The Dr. just flipped over Felicitys fish flops.. I have to attend to this- He is yelling like crazy-- got to shove a pop corn ball in his mouth.. such a racket he is making over this..  Now she has a room  mate..

I made a mess all over me when I got to infusion (my club Med) no one in the lobby--- the staff knew about it to-- I was dressed so nicely too- Went home and cleaned myself up and put on my sweet pants and shirt that was on the floor for days and just went back.. With a smile on my face.. Almost cried on the way home.. but decided that would not help this situation.. What r u going to do?? Huh????? The nurses said "that was fast!!" Told them I know where the peddle is on the right.. :-) 

Ok Marcie leaving now . Don't think I ever got that e-mail . I will get Keyo syrup bottled water n paper towels on way back . But might be a little late we may have to stop off at the pub n have a pint or two or at least at the offy . Tell Mark to quit playing ball with the pop corn balls . Have him go help Illona with the toilet paper in her shoe . Shove the popcorn ball in the Doc's mouth n have Mark stand by n watch him Mary's cane just in case . At least Felicity with her new roommate has a Doc on call kinda . Hope you are feeling better today Marcie .

Felicity can only get to talk with Doc. when I take that pop corn ball out-- He is being a rather difficult patient.. I put the fish flops on his feet to make him happy and Felicity is having a hard time finding them.. The look on her face is something to behold. Oh there goes the Doc. again the fish are flying!!!!! (they make the worst patients- such babies those medical people) Now the look on her face is another story!!!!!!!!! 

Well, Felicity took care of the fish flops NEER to be going missing again-- she is wearing them as ear rings.. GOt them all wrapped up with the IV tubes.. now they are missing and the nurses are confused.. I dont think they like us in her room or this floor.. Just heard over the intercom that there is a Doctor missing.. hehehe ......... Now they are heading to the pot-a-john--

John.. Over here they call the portable bathrooms port-a-johns.  or America-can..cans.  No pun intended......... still friends???  :-)

Stick another popcorn ball in the doc's mouth have Mark bop him if he don't settle down . Make sure Felicity has her fish flops back . Let the nurses run around looking for him it will give them something to do instead of reading the paper . And as for the Port-a-Johns I have a couple other names for them besides that !
