Help! How can I make a flat wafer into a convex wafer? I have tried to build it up, but then my stoma does not protrude enough an it leaks under the wafer. Results, red, blistered skin! Thanks!

Stoma seal, then an eakin may work. I know a girl on facebook that did that.
the seal can give your skin some protection, thou your wafer may still fall off. I know another girl that did seal, paste around edge then wafer.
I feel your difficulties.
stay strong.

Hi, I use a convex flange from convatec, it is already shaped and works well for me, you can still fill in any spaces with paste. Good luck. Maggie
