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.

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days. 
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!
