I discovered a neat trick,or maybe it's an old one I just didn't know about.
When changing my pouch I use "Brava Lubricating/Deordorant". I now take one drop of the lubracant and put it in the grove of the flange that attaches to the wafer (the tuperware part). This makes R&I of the pouch way easier and for people like myself who must burp the appliance often....makes that much easier too.
