Why are you guys wearing skin barrier sheets?Issues with adhesion or skin not liking your ostomy products?
I tried them as a way to give my skin a break from being in contact with the adhesives in my barrier, but didn't think people used them full-time.

I don't use them full time I havd worn them in the past with my first stoma and I didn't like it because it felt so damn heavy like it was gonna fall off and they are way to thick

I found Hollister #8900 to be fairly light. And actually makes everything seem more secure. But during all the heat and humidity, they are useless, as they don't stick very well.
But the skin barrier that you use the little wipes for, work great, even makes your skin sticker so your flange sticks better
