I've used the two-piece Hollister since the 2nd week of surgery. They have worked great, and I've only had a leak a few times. This week, twice the bag has separated from the ring, and I've had spots of pinholes in the bag and had to replace bags twice, where I usually get a week with each setup. What I am noticing is the bag seems to have changes in quality. The ring where it snaps together is not as stable, thinking it's not cut clearly/precisely. And the bag quality is thinner. Am I the only person thinking this? It might be a bad set of bags, but so frustrating.
