Create a smooth seal between your stoma and barrier. The thin, flexible profile is easy to stretch, shape, or tear and rejoin—perfect for minor creases, subtle irregularities, or when you prefer minimal bulk under your baseplate.

    • Why Thin Rings Work for Most People

      Not everyone needs maximum gap-filling capacity. Many ostomy users have minor skin irregularities—shallow creases, small scars, or slight unevenness—that just need gentle support to create a reliable seal. The 2.0mm thin profile provides effective gap-filling without creating unnecessary bulk. These rings are easier to work with than thicker options, more comfortable under your barrier, and flexible enough to move naturally with your body. For routine ostomy care where you don't have deep valleys or extreme contours, thin mouldable rings are the ideal solution: effective protection with minimal profile.

      Perfect for: Minor skin irregularities, shallow creases or folds, everyday leak prevention, users preferring low-bulk comfort, first-time ring users, or anyone who doesn't need the extra thickness of wide rings.

      What You'll Appreciate

      Effective without bulk — The 2.0mm thickness handles most common gap-filling needs while staying slim and comfortable under your barrier. You won't feel like you're wearing something thick or rigid.

      Easy to work with — Thin rings are more forgiving and easier to manipulate. Stretch them gently to size, tear them to fit unusual shapes, or rejoin the ends after tearing. They mold quickly with minimal hand warming.

      Comfortable flexibility — The thin profile moves with your body during daily activities. Sit, bend, twist, or exercise—the ring adapts without creating pressure points or restricting movement.

      Better seal, extended wear — By filling small irregularities and creating a smooth transition from stoma to barrier, these rings help prevent undermining leaks and improve adhesion for longer, more reliable wear time.

      Versatile application — Apply directly to skin around your stoma, or attach to your barrier first and apply together. The thin profile works well with either method and integrates seamlessly with paste, powder, or other accessories.

      Perfect for routine care — If you don't have severe irregularities but want consistent leak protection, thin rings provide the support you need without overcomplicating your routine.

      Less noticeable — The low profile is more discreet under clothing than thicker options, creating minimal show-through even with fitted garments.

      Stackable when needed — If you occasionally need more support, you can stack two thin rings (4mm total). This gives you flexibility without keeping multiple product types on hand.

      How to Use

      Preparation:

      1. Cleanse and dry peristomal skin completely
      2. Remove ring from packaging — it will feel slightly firm
      3. Warm the ring briefly between your hands (15-30 seconds):
        • Makes it softer and more pliable
        • Not as critical as with thick rings, but still helpful
        • Should feel flexible and easy to manipulate

      Sizing the Ring:

      Option 1: Stretch to fit (most common)

      • Gently stretch the ring opening to match your stoma size
      • Pull gradually and evenly around the circumference
      • The mouldable hydrocolloid stretches easily without tearing
      • Can accommodate a wide range of stoma sizes

      Option 2: Tear and rejoin

      • For very large or irregular stomas, tear the ring open
      • Position around the stoma shape
      • Press the ends back together to rejoin
      • The hydrocolloid bonds to itself seamlessly

      Option 3: Use as-is

      • If the ring size matches your stoma, no adjustment needed
      • Simply warm and apply

      Application Method 1: Ring on Skin (Recommended)

      1. Position the warmed ring directly on your peristomal skin around the stoma
      2. Press gently to adhere to skin
      3. Mold the ring to fill any creases, folds, or shallow valleys:
        • Use your fingers to press it into irregularities
        • Create a smooth, level surface
        • Pay attention to areas where you've had leaks before
      4. Smooth the outer edge for good contact with surrounding skin
      5. Apply your barrier over the ring:
        • Center the barrier opening over stoma and ring
        • Press firmly from center outward
        • The barrier adheres to both ring and skin

      Application Method 2: Ring on Barrier

      1. Attach the warmed ring to your barrier's adhesive surface:
        • Center it around the barrier opening
        • Press to adhere
      2. Apply the barrier with ring to your skin:
        • Position over stoma
        • Press firmly, smoothing from center outward
        • The ring creates a transition between barrier and skin

      Most users prefer Method 1 as it allows better molding to fill specific irregularities on the skin.

      Stacking Thin Rings:

      For moderate irregularities that need more than 2mm but less than the 4.2mm of wide rings:

      1. Warm both rings
      2. Apply first ring directly to skin around stoma
      3. Mold to fill the gaps
      4. Apply second ring on top of first
      5. Mold to create smooth surface
      6. Apply barrier over the stacked rings

      Two thin rings = 4mm total support, which handles most situations that need extra depth.

      Important Application Tips:

      • Gentle handling: Thin rings are more delicate than thick rings; don't overstretch
      • Work quickly: Once warmed and stretched, apply promptly before it cools
      • Press to mold: Don't just lay it on—actively press into irregularities
      • Smooth edges: Blend the outer edge gradually into surrounding skin
      • One ring at a time: If stacking, fully apply and mold first ring before adding second

      Combining with Other Products:

      Rings + Barrier Paste:

      • Use paste for very narrow crevices
      • Add ring for broader, shallow gap-filling
      • Together they address different types of irregularities

      Rings + Powder:

      • Apply powder to weepy skin first; brush off excess
      • Then apply ring over powdered area
      • Ring adheres effectively over properly applied powder

      Rings + Convex Barriers:

      • Thin rings work excellently with convex barriers
      • The ring fills the transition between convex curve and skin
      • Enhances the seal without excessive bulk

      Rings + Barrier Strips:

      • Use ring for gap-filling around stoma
      • Add barrier strips for edge security around barrier perimeter
      • Complete protection from center to edges

      Understanding Ring Thickness Options

      Choosing between thin and wide rings:

      Thin Rings - 2.0mm (This Product):

      • Best for: Minor irregularities, shallow creases, routine gap-filling
      • Gap-filling capacity: Moderate—handles most common situations
      • Comfort: Low-bulk, very flexible, moves easily with body
      • Ease of use: Easy to stretch, mold, tear, and rejoin
      • Profile: Minimal—barely noticeable under clothing
      • Ideal users: Most ostomy users, first-time ring users, those preferring minimal bulk

      Wide Rings - 4.2mm:

      • Best for: Deep creases, pronounced scars, significant valleys, retracted stomas
      • Gap-filling capacity: Maximum—fills substantial gaps
      • Comfort: Thicker but still flexible; provides structural support
      • Ease of use: Requires more warming and molding effort
      • Profile: Noticeable but manageable bulk
      • Ideal users: Complex skin topology, recurrent deep leaks, severe irregularities

      How to decide which thickness you need:

      Start with thin rings (2mm) if:

      • You have minor creases or shallow folds
      • You want routine leak protection without bulk
      • You're new to using rings and want to try them
      • Your skin is relatively even with small imperfections
      • You prefer minimal profile under your barrier

      Upgrade to wide rings (4.2mm) if:

      • Thin rings don't fill your gaps adequately
      • You have obvious deep creases or pronounced scars
      • You experience undermining leaks despite using thin rings
      • You have a retracted stoma needing substantial support
      • Your ostomy nurse recommends more aggressive gap-filling

      Consider having both:

      • Use thin rings for routine changes
      • Keep wide rings for challenging times (high output, activity days)
      • This flexibility adapts to changing conditions

      Troubleshooting Thin Ring Use

      "The ring won't stay in place or keeps sliding." This usually means:

      • Your skin isn't completely dry—moisture prevents adhesion
      • You're not pressing firmly enough when applying
      • You need to warm it slightly longer for better tackiness
      • Try applying ring to barrier first, then apply together

      "I'm still getting leaks even with rings." Investigate:

      • Is your barrier opening cut to the correct size?
      • Are you actually filling the problem areas, or applying randomly?
      • Do you need thicker rings (wide 4.2mm) for deeper gaps?
      • Could you benefit from combining rings with paste?
      • Is your barrier type (flat vs convex) appropriate for your stoma? Schedule a fitting assessment with your ostomy nurse.

      "The ring tears when I try to stretch it." Solutions:

      • Warm it longer before stretching (30-60 seconds)
      • Stretch more slowly and evenly around circumference
      • Don't overstretch beyond the material's capacity
      • If your stoma is very large, tear the ring on purpose and rejoin rather than forcing it

      "Can I reuse a ring if I remove my barrier early?" No. Rings are single-use only. Once a ring has been applied and exposed to output or moisture, discard it and use a fresh ring when applying a new barrier.

      "How do I know if I need rings at all?" You may benefit from rings if:

      • You have any creases, folds, or scars near your stoma
      • Your barrier edges lift prematurely
      • You experience undermining leaks (output seeping under edges)
      • Your wear time is shorter than expected
      • Your ostomy nurse recommends gap-filling

      If your barrier adheres well and you have no leaks, you may not need rings. They're helpful for many but not essential for everyone.

      "Should I use rings with paste?" You can use both together. Paste fills very narrow crevices while rings provide broader support. Many users find the combination works better than either product alone. Apply paste first to specific narrow gaps, then add ring for overall smoothing.

      "The ring feels too thin—should I stack two?" Try it! Stacking two thin rings gives you 4mm of support. This often works well for moderate gaps that don't quite need the full 4.2mm wide ring. Experiment to find what works best for your topology.

      When Thin Rings Are Most Helpful

      These rings are especially beneficial for:

      Shallow creases or folds — Minor skin irregularities that create small channels

      Small surgical scars — Raised or indented scars that disrupt smooth barrier contact

      Slight stoma retraction — Stomas that sit just slightly below skin level

      Uneven skin texture — Small bumps, divots, or irregular areas around stoma

      Aging skin changes — Skin that's lost some elasticity and developed minor folds

      Weight fluctuations — Small changes in body contour creating new irregularities

      Preventive protection — Using rings even without obvious problems to maximize wear time

      First-time ring users — Learning to use rings without the complexity of thick options

      Routine maintenance — Everyday gap-filling as part of standard ostomy care

      Active lifestyles — Thin profile comfortable during exercise and movement

      Benefits Over Not Using Rings

      What rings provide that barriers alone don't:

      Gap-filling — Barriers sit on top of skin; rings fill valleys to create level surface

      Transition smoothing — Creates gradual transition from stoma to skin level

      Leak prevention — Blocks undermining channels before they cause failures

      Extended adhesion — Better initial seal means longer secure wear time

      Skin protection — Keeps output away from skin by preventing seepage under edges

      Flexibility — Moves with your body better than barrier adhesive alone

      Confidence — Extra layer of protection for peace of mind

      Many users report:

      • Fewer surprise leaks
      • Longer time between changes
      • Less skin irritation
      • More confidence during activities
      • Better sleep without leak worries

      Even users without obvious skin irregularities often find rings improve their wear experience by providing that extra security margin.

      Ordering Guidance

      When to consider Brava Mouldable Rings:

      • You have minor creases, folds, or irregularities near your stoma
      • You want to improve barrier adhesion and extend wear time
      • You've experienced undermining leaks
      • Your ostomy nurse recommended trying rings
      • You're looking for routine leak prevention
      • You prefer low-bulk comfort
      • You're new to using rings and want to start with the easiest option

      Ring thickness decision:

      • Thin 2.0mm (this listing): For most users with minor to moderate irregularities
      • Wide 4.2mm: For deep creases, severe irregularities, or when thin rings aren't enough

      Start with thin unless:

      • You have obvious deep valleys or pronounced scars
      • Your ostomy nurse specifically recommended thick rings
      • You've tried thin and they didn't provide adequate support

      Quantity considerations: Each box contains 10 mouldable rings. With one ring per barrier change:

      • 3-day barrier wear: One box = 30 days
      • 5-day barrier wear: One box = 50 days
      • Stacking 2 rings: One box = 5 barrier changes

      Cost-effectiveness: Thin rings are typically more economical than wide rings. They also last longer per box if you're using one per change versus the multiple wide rings some users need.

      Stock up appropriately:

      • New users: Start with one box to try them
      • Regular users: Keep 2-3 boxes on hand so you never run out
      • Shelf life: Rings have long shelf life; buying extra is safe

      Consider a starter kit: Some users benefit from trying both thin and wide rings to compare. Ask your ostomy nurse if sample rings are available before committing to a full box.

      Pro tip: Even if you don't currently have skin irregularities, consider keeping a box of thin rings in your supplies. Skin conditions can change quickly (weight fluctuation, activity changes, minor leaks causing irritation), and having rings on hand lets you address problems immediately before they worsen.

      For personalized guidance on whether mouldable rings are appropriate for your skin topology, proper application techniques, or questions about combining rings with other accessories, consult with your ostomy care nurse for hands-on instruction and fitting support.
