Has anyone ever tried the Stomagenie (https://stomagienics.com/) for bag changes? If so, were you using a one-piece system or a two-piece system? How did it work for you?

Hi there,
I tried them at the time I was using a two-piece system. For me, it didn't work too well. Then again, I was halfway retracted when I tried them. The hard part is you have to hold it in place with one hand and try doing everything else with only one hand.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking maybe they might be good for letting my skin get some air. I ended up ordering them, and they are a bit awkward to use for bag changes.
