Moldable ostomy wafers aren’t as popular as they probably should be, but ConvaTec has been making them for many years now. In this review, I’ll be looking at their SUR-FIT Natura moldable wafers.

COLOPLAST Sensura Mio 2-Piece System
When I had tested the one-piece SenSura Mio appliance, I was a bit disappointed but found enough strong points to recommend it to most ostomates. The two-piece system has been something that I’ve been looking forward to trying, and here’s my review!
COLOPLAST Sensura Mio 1-Piece System
Finding the right ostomy appliance is just as important as finding the right pair of shoes to wear. The quality of life for an ostomate often depends on their pouching system and Coloplast hopes to improve on this with their new Sensura Mio product line.
HOLLISTER Forma Flex Moldable Wafer / Barrier
Moldable wafers aren’t too common, but both ConvaTec and Hollister offer their own unique versions of this category of product. In this review, I’ll be looking at Hollister’s FormaFlex product! This review is based on products I purchased following the trial of a few free samples that I requested through Hollister customer service. Hollister had to exchange some of the ones I purchased as noted later in the review.
HOLLISTER 1-Piece Premier
While I’m a fan of two-piece ostomy appliances, I have used one-piece systems from time to time. In this review, I’ll be looking at the Hollister Premier 1pc appliance, which I’ve purchased through my local supplier.
