Ive used this style for over a year, while trying others on and off. This has left me with the best experience so far. Between this and a ring barrier, I have had no skin issues near my stoma. I will get an occasional pimple in the outer edge, but when I feel an itch, I just make sure to change it the next day. - I've found I can wear this style for 5-7 days, depending on sweaty activities, before the outer adhesive starts to give way. - I am able to shower with it, and can dry it easily enough. - The outer edge holds strong like a bandaid, but is slim enough to flex with my body. I strongly recommend an adhesive remover when changing it. - The inner adhesive keeps my skin in a healthy state, not too moist or dry. I also couple this with a ring barrier which helps to seal around the non cylindrical shape of my stoma.
