Best Tape for Securing Ostomy Pouches?

beatrice · 2010-01-25T14:11:26-05:00

Which tape should I use for the following: Once my wafer and pouch are on ... I'm wanting to tape the upper edge of the pouch to my body (part of the tape will be on the tape portion of the wafer). Sometimes my pants 'catch' on the upper edge of the pouch and pulls. I'm thinking the tape will remedy this. I snuck a roll of tape from the hospital (the semi-clear tape that they used to adhere IV needles to my arm) but it doesn't come off as easily as I'm hoping some other tape might. Many thanks for any suggestions.
