Let me tell you about the new eakin freeseal® range – it’s a game-changer! I trailed the versa 18mm (product code 839027) for two weeks, and I have to say, I’m seriously impressed. Whether you’re looking for a discreet, super-thin seal or something thicker to help with dips and creases, this range has you covered. And the best part? It’s designed to fit every stoma shape and size, so there’s something for everyone.
Let me explain the new range (in case you haven’t already heard!)
First up, we have the eakin freeseal® air. This seal comes in two thickness options – 1.8mm and 2.4mm and starter hole sizes of 10mm, 18mm, and 30mm. So, who is this best for? If you have a retracted, flush, or smaller stoma, this is a fantastic choice. It’s super thin, offering discretion and comfort. It still has amazing absorbent properties to prevent leaks too. Plus, it removes cleanly in one piece, making bag changes a breeze.
Next up is the eakin freeseal®versa. This one is thicker, at 3.2mm, and comes in starter hole sizes of 18mm and 30mm. I would say this would suit you if you have dips or creases around your stoma. It evens out the skin, making it so much easier to apply your stoma bag. And while it’s thick, it’s also flexible, unlike many competitors – so you can shape it perfectly around your stoma without any hassle.
What I absolutely love about this new range is how inclusive it is. There’s genuinely something for everyone, no matter your stoma’s size or shape.
My two-week trial of the versa 18mm
For two weeks, I trailed the versa 18mm and let me just say – I’m impressed. With it being the thickest of the two new freeseal®, I was curious about how it would feel to wear. Once it was on, though, it was a perfect fit around my stoma (check out the photo below for proof!).
Getting that snug fit is so important when choosing the right seal because it prevents leaks and protects your skin. With the versa, I had an extra layer of protection, which not only increased the wear time of my stoma bag but also gave my skin the care it needed.
Over the two weeks, I went about my usual busy routine – commuting into London for work, hitting the gym, and doing Pilates—and guess what? It didn’t budge! I didn’t experience any leaks or irritation, and honestly, it was so comfortable I forgot I even had it on. That kind of reliability gives me such a confidence boost because I know my bag is secure and leak-proof.
Confidence in every moment
eakin® slogan, ‘Unlock your unstoppable’, honestly couldn’t be more fitting. They’ve created not just one but five seals to combat one of the biggest challenges we face as ostomates—bag leaks. Speaking from experience, having a leak can be mortifying, especially in public. Knowing there’s a solution to this is a complete game-changer.
Why choose the extended range?
The new eakin freeseal® options cater to:
- Varied stoma shapes and sizes: ensuring a better fit for everyone, giving you a choice.
- Sensitive skin: gentle on your skin while providing strong adhesion, your peristomal skin will thank you!
- Enhanced flexibility: which is perfect for active lifestyles, like mine!
I’m genuinely so impressed with the new eakin freeseal® extended range. Whether it’s the air or the versa, there’s a seal for everyone. For me, having a seal I can rely on has made such a difference in my confidence and how I go about my day. If you’re looking for something that truly works and helps you feel unstoppable, give this range a try. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I’m sure it will be for you too!
