James,
I started out with a one piece system and have found them to work out real
good. I started out with the Hollister one piece but was made aware of the
Colplast one piece that uses a self contained Velcro closer. This has worked
out real good since you do not have to worry about droping the plastic clip
and I have found that the Velcro is much more comfortable due to it being
flexible and does not dig in like the plastic clip. I also make use of and
Elkin seal. My usual wear time is 7 to 10 days. I am active and ride my
bicycle 30-40 miles several times a week and the exercise does not seem to
effect the wear time. Colplast is located in Atlanta Georga 1-800-788-0293.
