strip paste???

Hi folks! Does anyone here use strip paste instead of Eakin seals or Brava rings? Now, after 2 years of trouble free ostomy life, I've been having night-time leaks- not daily, but 2-3x over the past few months. It seems to be stuff pancaking at the top of the bag, then pushing out under the wafer. Lovely. But I"m wondering if the Eakin seals are a bit thick, maybe lifting the wafer up enough to allow the stuff to get under easier? As it is I sue the Eakin slims, but... I did use strip paste years ago, & have some in my supply stass- it worked ok. I mean, my stoma is sort of like a mushroom, wider at the top then bottom, so I use an Eakin & fit the wafer over it. There's a tiny bit of Eakin showing under the wafer, you know? If I sure the strip paste, do I put it on over the wafer, or under it? On top may be better, in that it will allow a greater seal, but still protect the skin? Hhm... any thoughts?

I've been using Eakin Seals along with tincture of benzoin for quite a few years, successfully. Recently, I've been heating both sides of the Eakin Seal with the blow dryer before apply it. It seems to adhere better.

Also, I recommend drinking two 5 oz glasses of red wine every night.
This will definitely liquify your output as well as increase your level of happiness.

So I changed everything out yesterday, & used strip paste instead of the Eakin- I just tore a piece off, flattened it out, then wrapped it all around my stoma, like a very tiny Eakin seal! Seems to work well- I like that overall, it's a much flatter profile, the wafer sits pretty tight on my skin. I don't know, between that & my nightly wine consumption, things seem to have improved. I also make myself empty the bag if I get up in the middle of the night to pee- I'm lazy, & generally just go right back to bed, full bag or no! I think I prefer the strip paste for now- we'll see how it does re. skin protection, & if it holds up for the full 6-7 days I go between changes.
