Seeking Reliable Ostomy Skin Adhesive Recommendations

This topic is about finding reliable skin adhesives for ostomy care. The person sharing their experience is currently using Talbot (Torbot) Skin Bonding Glue to help keep their wafer in place, but they are facing issues with the glue drying out too quickly. Because their stoma is close to the belly button, they experience leaks unless they use an adhesive, which means they have to change their appliance every two days without it. They have also tried looking for alternatives in sports stores but haven't found anything suitable. They are seeking recommendations for other ostomy-safe bonding products or methods.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. Consider using Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film spray by 3M. It acts as a skin protector and can improve wafer adhesion.

2. Think about changing the style of your appliance. Some people find a better seal by switching from a one-piece to a two-piece system, which allows the wafer to be molded to fit irregular contours.

3. Explore alternative ostomy cements that are known to keep well, such as:
- Smith & Nephew Skin-Bond Cement
- Nu-Hope Laboratories Ostomy Cement

4. Look into additional high-tack adhesives like Mastisol from Ferndale Laboratories, which is available in single-use glass ampoules or a spray bottle and is known for providing strong, durable bonding.

5. For a custom-fit option, King Ostomy offers reusable, custom-molded barriers. You can contact the company to get a stoma/abdomen molding kit.

These suggestions might help in finding a more reliable solution for maintaining wafer adhesion and reducing the frequency of appliance changes.
