Barrier Wipes Or Spray: Which Do You Prefer?

Question

I've always used the barrier wipes, but I'm thinking about trying the spray. Does anyone else use the spray?

Littlefish · Answer

I have tried both. Multiple types. Landed on wipes. Simple and safe, no sting.

I always use spray to take my bag off and then use a couple of wipes to clean everything off my skin before showering. It doesn't take much spray to get your bag/wafer off. Get an area started, spray a little on, let it soak for a few seconds, and then work your way down.

I prefer a spray adhesive remover but like the barrier wipes. Although in truth I haven't experimented much with the barrier spray. Adhesive remover wipes are OK, but the spray is just easier to use.

I have used both and prefer the spray. I use Brava adhesive remover spray by Coloplast.

We're pretty new to this, but Hubz WOC nurse suggested spray to remove wafer, then use a wipe to remove any adhesive left behind. Seems to be working, but seriously, I have been at this only six weeks and have had some memorable lessons!

Easiest way to do it, in my opinion. 👍

Hi all, I've only used the wipes, and that gets the job done.

Barrier cream for me (Brava). Not tried the barrier spray for me (Brava); the wipes left too much residue to clean off. I also found the cream helps with any sweat rash under or around the edge of the wafer. I use the salts adhesive remover spray to take the wafer off, then spray again and wipe off with a damp wipe. Works for me; I have not had any real problems.
