Thanks for the offer! I'll check the sites out. I'm still pretty new
to all this; I guess a lot of it is trial and error.

blowdryer on low it sticks better to the skin. Call the different
ostomy companies and ask them to send you samples, they will send
you what you need by the info you give them about your stoma. Here
is a lost of sample providers either online or over the phone :) If
you would like to try a few eakin seals, I would be happy to send
you a few they are very expensive and I know I wouldn't try them if
I had to pay for them without knowing how well they worked. Let me
know and email me privately with your address and I can get them out
to you :) Portia
