This topic is about finding affordable alternatives to Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Wipes, which are used to protect the skin around an ostomy. The original user noticed a significant price increase for Cavilon wipes and found a cheaper option, Safe n’ Simple No-Sting Barrier Film, and decided to try it out. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. The Safe n’ Simple wipes are much larger than Cavilon’s, about the size of a tissue and folded many times. While they need to be refolded to a manageable size, the cost savings might make this extra step worthwhile if the skin protection is similar.

2. Some people believe that the higher price of Cavilon wipes is due to the brand name, and they suggest trying less expensive generic options or similar products.

3. One person shared that they had a positive experience with Safe n’ Simple wipes, noting that Cavilon actually caused skin irritation for them.

4. It's recommended to keep an eye on the long-term performance of these alternatives. Sometimes, manufacturers keep prices high after shortages, so exploring different options can help manage costs effectively.
