Good Afternoon, I have been irrigating about 10 years and currently use mestopore patches.  However, the adhesive has been irritating my skin for the past few months.  Has anyone got any suggestions regarding a skin friendly stoma cover?  thanks, Diamond

Hi Diamond,

Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film (from 3M in a spray bottle or individual wipes) is a product I have used to protect the skin, and  I find it works to a point; however, some people find it decreases the ability of the flange to adhere to the areas covered with the film.

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.
