I was having a hard time with paste so I switched to adapt barrier rings, can you cut them and roll them into a sort of ring to fit around stoma to get 2 uses out of one piece and be effective?

there is a whole long thread about these babies that Polishdan did awhile ago https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=33&m=1905492

These are about the convex ones but they work the same way as the flat ones. give it a looksie.

I cut mine and usually got 2-3 uses out of each one once my stoma was done shrinking.

We use the entire ring - but the ostomy nurse in the hospital showed several variations and ways to use the rings and that is one of them if that works for you.
