Help please. It’s driving me nuts I cannot seem to attach my bag tightly to the edge of my Stoma which then pancakes or leaks around under the bag and burns my skin.
After a serious burn I changed it daily to bathe and calamine, barrier spray or Eakin slim. I don’t use anything but water to cleanse
This is not ideal as I’m wasting my equipment but needs must.
Could it be too many Christmas treats. I do seem to have a little too much tummy weight at the moment?
Or is it just me doing something wrong?
My provider recommended trying a different type of bag to be honest they looked exactly the same until I tried removing them. They stuck fast and broke up making changing a challenge I’ve got some samples for sensitive skin from my nurse but had the same issue, they pancaked.
Maybe my Stoma shrinks back as I move about?
She’s quite proud when I clean her
My Stoma nurses aren’t available at the moment and I hoped that someone could just say how they have overcome this annoying problem.
Thanks Sarah
yes I wondered about bags Alaine mentioned them too.
Think this morning was user error. I was so determined to stick it around Whoops I didn’t flatten warm hand for thirty seconds. School girl error as they say.
Boy did I regrett it and Whoopi was spouting like Volcano. I was in a mess and so were my clothes. I’d just had a lovely shower too.

Thanks Alaine
I have to admit she really got me today. I was not prepared and she was very active. Nearly called hubby to help. But I got the measure of her and have taken measures to make sure I have extra towels hidden. We’ve just had new bathroom fitted. Well she obviously wanted to make use of it. Twas everywhere. I hadn’t even eaten.
It’s hilarious really once I got sorted I could see funny side. Hubby thought I was drying hair and wondered why I’d changed and my hair was still wet.

Then the time with white stuff coming out of Nicola I tried to remove it and that was it My bowel was coming out of Nicola 
It was Marshmallow. I asked my consultant about it he told me that I will have a Jelly Baby next if I didn't chew it .

Definitely.
I was covered in **it and I did start to chuckle as I was trying to sort out all this stuff. Where does it come from. I also thanked my lucky stars I wasn’t out

Hi Kath
I tried bags with manuka honey when I had some samples and they did feel really nice on the skin. I was wearing white trousers abroad and sitting with another lady chatting having a coffee one day. She also had white trousers on. She spilt her coffee over hers and I was fine! But I too would not have risked white in the early days.
White is very brave. I would wear white with a black tunic.
