okay so I need some help from the experts on here lol... I've been using coloplast convex light flanges (the round plastic feeling ones) and the belt to go with it. I haven't had any leaks since I switched to them. The problem is because the flange is like a milemeter thick it still catches on my pants when I move around, and even though I don't leak I still go through them rather quickly because they start to peel off. I'm trying to find convex light flanges with the cloth like material that is square in shape and flush with the skin. Problem is I can't find any online to order. Does anyone use these?

It sounds like you are asking about the Holister flanges. They are square and "fabric". You can always contact the company and request a sample to make sure that is what you want before you order them.

With the coloplast, I have read that some use tape around the outside of the flange. This may keep it from catching.
I use a Hollister convex cloth flange, it is a cut to fit 1-1/2 (I have a 7/8" stoma) 2 1/4" wafer with a drainable bag. The flange number is 14403 the bag is 18133. If you call Hollister, they will send you samples. I don't know if this helps, but good luck!

The only thing I don't like about the online pictures is the closure of the bag. I'm not much of a fan of the flat stick kind. I really like the tupperware type lock close is that that the Hollister is? Thank you so much for the help

I second the Hollister "New Image" 2 piece. You can get the roll up, or use the clip. Been using them for 2 years with great sucess. I never have a peeling issue.The New Image is the tupperware. Lots of various size pouches for diffrent times. I use the clear filter for night, and the brown cloth for day. When I change each time, just wash the pouch out with an anti-bacterial soap and water, hang, and it's dry for the next days change out. I use an old toothbrush to clean around the inside flange. You get alot more use, and you have a fresh clean pouch if you can't afford to change to a new pouch every day. But yes, the Hollister New Image is the 2 piece tupperware version.
