Tips and suggestions are welcome. I only started using stoma powder with adhesive pads and don't understand how the powder sticks. Thank you, Charlie Patsky at ****

Hi Charlie, products will not stick to powder. You're talking about the crusting technique for excoriated skin. You want to spread a thin layer of powder on the affected area and then dab with a skin barrier wipe so the powder is no longer dry but damp. You need to let this dry before you do it again, powder followed by wipe and allowing it to fully dry (either wave a magazine at the area or use a cool hair dryer) but ALWAYS end with the skin barrier wipe, NOT the powder. I hope this helps.
