I had a couple of seatons over 3/4 years.
​
The gauze advise is good - in particular non-woven gauze as it doesn't catch on the seaton like the woven gauze - I used to buy these ones here. They come in packs of 5 so you can always have some with you. Just fold them in half and sit it in the crack - I found there was no need to attach them as they very rarely fell out unless doing exercise in which case a bit of tape helped.
​
Rotating the seaton round to a 'comfortable' position tended to help too - also useful to realise it moves a lot for when cleaning.
​
Also, the view on seatons where I was treated (UK - NHS) was that they could be left in and that they didn't need to be taken out - I kind of went with that for over a year but eventually asked for it to be removed - I wished I'd asked sooner! You'll get used to how it feels and not even notice it - it'll become a new normal - but when it's done its job get it out, I was amazed at how much better it felt to be rid of it!
