I am 8 weeks out from surgery for my permanent colostomy. I am so tired of cutting the bags to fit Rudolph. I found a list of manufacturers and started calling each one for samples. It's funny some will send you one bag and one gasket. others are a lot more generous. Convatek sent me a welcome package with 4 different kinds of bags and wafers, (at least 8 of each) A Vinyl bag that holds my Ostomy supplies (I loved that) a mirror, barrier wipes, adhesive remover wipes and paste. It was like Christmas for Rudy. I still have 6 more manufactures to call for samples. So far I love Convatek's Sur-fit Natura® Durahesive® Moldable Convex Wafer with Flexible Tape Collar. It is a material seal that is so comfortable and it's a sponge adhesive to hold the bag. None of this plastic two piece wafer that snaps together and gets full of Rudy's feed. This one is so easy to wipe off and it molds to Rudy so he can be any shape. I also found I like the Convatec Esteem synergy® Two-Piece Closed-End Pouch with Filter and Two Sided Comfort Panel. I definitely don't like emptying Rudy's feed bag. It smells, It looks nasty, it's time consuming and I despise it. LOL These closed end pouches you can't see through I get 2 a day and I just throw away, wipe Rudy clean and put a fresh bag on. Suits me perfect. So Newbie's like myself call for your free samples too. But wait for your stoma to shrink about 2 months. Hollister is sending me a welcome gift too. I am anxious to see what they give me.
