I was doing well for almost a year, but now my skin barriers are only lasting a day. I made a few mistakes in general (wet wipes with aloe, not doing things in the right order with adhesive remover, etc). Now I put on adhesive remover really well and wash with soap and hot water thoroughly, then dry up and use adhesive barrier. I need advice, what's the best way to make it stick for a long time? (Got my ileostomy a year ago) Edit: I shaved my stomach but the shaver can only cut so far.
