Skin problem and blow outs on bag edge

One thing about your comment that bothered me was that your stool finally pushes through the seal of the bag. What seal? I cut the hole in my pouch to fit my Stoma and there is no seal. The Stoma should pass through the pouch and there should be nothing to keep it from being free flowing. One other thing you might try since your skin is flat around the Stoma is a Convex Pouch.

The barrier seal is what I was referring to. When I have a blow out and take off the bag, I have a lot of stool that has collected all in one place. Like there’s so much it pushes out the side of the bag. Oil has helped. It’s only been less than 7 weeks so I am learning. B
