Desperately Seeking Reliable Tape for Ostomy Care

I depended upon 4" Pink Hy-Tape to cover my entire ostomy site like a bandage during intimacy.  Two years ago it STOPPED STICKING TO MY SKIN.  It just comes unattached or falls off.



I think the formula has changed as my usage did not.  I need a stronger, stickier, more reliable tape!!!



I called the company in New York and was given free tubes of 3 tape rolls.  These new rolls fell off of my body as well, even when I tried to SuperGlue them to my skin!  They would not admit to a formula change.



Please Help Me!



Stillsmiling but less

have you tried opsite flexifix tape? it sticks. showers, sex ,sweat no problem. i use the 5cm wide cut into strips and positioned all the way around the plate and skin. it's a breathable tape so no irritation.

I just ordered the lacy band from them - I can't endorse it yet, but I'm hopeful.



My husband doesn't care, but it annoys me when things swing 'n' sway.

Good luck - I hate it when manufacturers mess with success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had excellent results for years with Kendall CURITY 2" Standard Porous Tape (p/n 6613) (the pink Hy-Tape never really worked well for me).





The Kendall is a cloth based tape, which has a strong adhesive which is still very gentle to the skin. It's porous and breathable so extended wear isn't a problem, but if used for framing an appliance, will contain liquid in the event of a wafer failing.

You can try using cloth tape from 3M. Do you use barrier strips?
