mixing brands

Post by steiconi »

I have a Convatec sleeve that I use every night, but I'd like to try other companies' wafers.
Obviously, they don't fit together, and I don't want to change the wafer every day.

Has anyone tried using sleeve and belt over unmatched wafer?
Other solutions?

If the sleeve and wafer do not match you are probably setting yourself up for a "Code Brown"

I have just used my Hollister Sleeve with a belt and no wafer, the belt held the rim of the sleeve tight against my skin. Worked Ok but not Ideal.
