Do any companies make urostomy pouches with wider coverage of sticky (4x4 maybe)? Stoma marked wrong for surgery. It's in a crevice. Plus, I have skin issues. Nothing sticks on me long. I've been dealing with this for 14 years. Tried a lot of wafers, paste, etc.

Hello Lori
Without knowing all your circumstances, I would be getting or demanding that your stoma be relocated. You are entitled to better care than that; having it in a crease is unacceptable, even if it was long ago.

I am sure you have, but have you tried using a bigger wafer size?
And I completely agree with axl. He is right, especially dealing with it this long; definitely would be looking and seeing someone for relocation.

I agree with the previous two comments. A more permanent fix is needed. For the time being, have you tried wafer extenders? All the companies make them. Good luck.
