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.
