I have been told by WOCN to try a 1 piece convex system? I like 2 piece? I have been using same system 36 years --now with weight gain age ect skin issues& leaks can not get skin to clear up and appliance to stay on over 1 or 2 days when used to last 5 to 7 days?I am trying NUHope sample 1 piece today oval feels so much better than stiff torbot faceplate,gasket & tape!But hate the see thru pouch.Like Hollister 2 piece also,the new pouches and faceplates barriers move with you and are lighter but how many days wear can I expect? also use eakin ring or adapt ring.Thanks for any thoughts on this

I use a one piece drainable from Hollister.  They make a convex one too.  It's a mini pouch, about 7 inches. It's not see thru. It actually has a flesh colored soft covering. I tried every pouch out there. Got samples from every company. This one I find, is the best. The code number for mine is 88730 and that is based on size of opening/stoma.

Good luck.
