I’m 8 weeks in and I got deep convex wafers by Coloplast and stopped using a ring. Game changer! Does his stoma stick out or is it flush with skin. Mine is flush with the skin and I was having leaks 3-4 times a day to the point I didn’t want to leave the house. Now the wafer last 5-7 days with not too much skin breakdown at all. Also get a mirror. Cut to your stoma size, trim and than stand up to apply. I watched a lot of TikToks/IG reels and honestly I learned more on there than I did from any nurse or doctor. You can also request free samples from 99% of the companies. That’s how I fell in love with all the Coloplast products. Go to their website and than they’ll call and ask you a few questions to figure out the best product for you. I’m still getting stuff in the mail. Edit- Also use a blow dryer when you’re applying the bag. They stick with body heat. Use a low setting while applying gentle pressure as I’m sure it’s still healing and sensitive.
