In the morning, the precut hole in the wafer -7/8"- is appropriate and the wafer hugs the stoma. Durong the day the stoma shrinks in diameter, allowing the stool to exit between the wafer and the skin, which can be a mess. This is new.
Is this normal and doothers have this problem?

Having an ileostomy with a shortened bowel for many years, I empathize with your problem. Fortunately, I was able to adapt by trying new products. Switching from a Stomahesive wafer to a moldable Durahesive has helped. I also use Esenta skin barrier wipes to cover the area surrounding the stoma before applying the wafer. Have you contacted your manufacturer? They may have suggestions, also.

Thank you so much for yor reply. I will certanly contact Convatec and ask.
