Love this pouch when first applied. Very comfortable. However, three times it has leaked when the pouch first fills up. I use an Eakin ring and barrier strips. I'd appreciate others' experiences.

It didn't work for me. I went back to a Sensura Mio deep convex one-piece.

I am now using Salt's rings. I get 15 days before I need to change. They stick really well.

'Comfort' would seem to be a very subjective and somewhat complex concept. There is little I find 'comfortable' about wearing any type of bag, having been used to irrigation and wearing a 'plug'.
With a plug I could wear an effective hernia belt on top of the stoma which prevented my peristomal hernia getting worse. Wearing a bag does not allow for this as the belt would prevent output.
The discomfort I feel therefore tends to be psychological rather than physical, based on the concern that having virtually no support in that area might lead to bigger problems than simply waste management.
This reply probable doesn't help with your question very much, but it simply describes how it is for me!
Best wishes

Yes. I have been using this right along. I don't have a cut to fit so it depends on stoma size. Google SenSura Mio Deep Convex One Piece.

I swear by the Coloplast "flip." No leaking, no skin problems, and change every 5 days. My abdomen is not smooth and firm so this is the best fitting pouch for me.
