For those that are using 2 piece systems that you are happy with - what is it and what is your process?  I would like to try some 2 pieces and would love suggestions.

I need convex (for the moment), would prefer barrier that comes pre-cut and pouch that is opaque.  I prefer them on the smaller side, 9" length.  I'm going to see what my nurse has on hand on Wednesday for samples and have her put it on me after my appointment.

I originally wore one piece. I saw no advantage to two piece. I now wear convatec convex durahesive clear two piece with filter. I change every 6 to 8 days. Two piece advantage is that the filter is good for 2 or 3 days then I can change the bag. Also the inside cleans easier with a new bag. Wafer is precut 7/8" Natura 413180. Bag is Natura clear 411265. It does come opaque.

I received samples from Coloplast today and I am anxious to try them out. I'll see what my WOCN has on hand and then decide which to try from there. Off to check out your 2 piece system :)

I wear the 2 peice hollister new image with convexivity and I like it. It's pretty easy to install. I also use the adapt barrier rings.
My process is this.
After I take my shower and clean the area without the bag on I dry it off really well. I stretch the barrier ring out and put it around my stoma. Then I put the wafer on and then I actually put a sure seal on and then the bag and I hold it for a minute. Actually very easy. Only takes about 2 minutes start to finish. I also wear a belt with mine.
I've tried the bags with the filters and they always started to smell and get plugged after 2 days.

Brian -"...then I actually put a sure seal on and then the bag and I hold it for a minute." What is a sure seal?
