To dream a dream,
I have but they contract so much that it almost strangles and cuts into my Eiliostomy leaving a burning sensation as if its leaking stool. But might have to try again and maybe trim some extra out then roll back. So this helps. Thank you.

Thanks, I use the damp cloth as well but still end up with enough dampness that I don't get as many days wear as I'd like. But I will persevere!
Thanks very much for the response,
fifthblank.
Just to clarify, I touch the stoma with a dry washcloth. The stoma then "retreats" and the moisture gets removed from the stoma, long enough to get a new flange on....

My problem is when placing the barrier over it, it pushing moisture/blood down between the barrier and the skin. Any suggestions on preventing this from happening? I use a 2 piece system to see better when applying. Thanks for any help. Fifthblank
It's better to start a new thread with its own title than to post an off topic question in an existing thread.

You'll get more readers and not confuse the poor OP into thinking somebody is answering HER question.

The moldable wafers might work for you. The hole can stretch when your stoma expands.
