I have a colostomy and permanent stoma and have been using a convex 1 piece Welland closed pouch for a number of years. My stoma is partially recessed. I haven't really had any issues with using this pouch.

I received a mail shot from Convatec mentioning a 2 piece pouch. They have just sent me a sample which I intend to try. They suggest that it has convex properties.

Does anyone have any thoughts of possible advantages or disadvantages in using a 2 piece pouch over a 1 piece pouch? Any particular supplier?

I had my operation 5 years ago and was issued with the 'standard' pouch by the NHS. Since then I've tried a number of alternatives.

Many Thanks

Mansel
