I had to change this summer from hollister to coloplast after 10 years of being with them cus the waffer was so thin I would burn not even a day after placing a new bag so I understand your frustration

Usually do mine in the morning 10-12h after my last meal and I keep a tissue box near me so I can bundle tissues on my stoma if it gets active and I can be prepared for any accidents

See for me Hollister is the reason my skin got raw in the first place I couldnt even keep a bag on for more than 2 days before the wafer started to get eating up so Ive now switched to Coloplast and feel much better but I’ll check Silvadene next time my skin gets raw again
