For over a week now I've been having a hard time keeping my flanges on. I am all irritated. It's so bad and bugs me so much. The itching is driving me nuts. I've had to change it four times in the past few days. Twice today! Because of all the irritation on my skin it's not sticking well. I think I'm allergic to the tape around the flange. It has always itched a little but has gotten much worse the past month. They must have changed the glue on them or something. I put a different company's one piece on this evening. So far it's holding up. It has no tape around the barrier and is soft. I have also sent for samples from a different company. From what I've been reading, a lot of people have good luck with them. So if they work I'll have to get new subscriptions from my doctor.
I haven't had this much of a problem for at least a year. And I've changed nothing. So it's either the glue or my body chemistry is changing. I'm all broke out from about 4 to 5 inches all around the stoma area.. It was bleeding bad. And taking those flanges off every day isn't helping any. My skin gets pulled and more irritated.
I've read that Gold Bond gets rid of the irritation faster. Haven't bought any of that yet. I am going to get some wipes from the druggist first. They leave a thin barrier on the skin so it can heal.
I'm hoping this new one will stick through the night.
I got some good pictures of the moon last night but tonight is the full moon. There are more clouds out there tonight though. I guess I'll see how it looks around 1 or 2 am. I'll probably be awake anyway. Last night I got up at 3 am and looked out and the moon was so bright and clear. I didn't feel like opening the window and taking pictures though.
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend here. Then turn cooler and rainy on Monday and through next week.
I hope you all have a very nice weekend, wherever you are and a wonderful Easter. Take care.

I hope the new samples work for you. It sounds like you are very uncomfortable. I know what you mean about that full moon. It was absolutely gorgeous. I was out driving with my daughter last night and we were so mesmerized by it. I could hardly keep my eyes on the road.
