I am wondering if anyone else experiences this issue.  When I change out my skin barrier which I do two times a week, for the first day I can detect an odor from the stoma and bag area.  This only lasts a day at the most.  I know that everything is well sealed so I know it isn't from leakage.  Have any of you had this issue?? What did you do to correct it?  Thanks!

Hey Freedancer, sorry no one got involved with your question. I'll try if you still have a problem.

Please let me know.
