Alternatives to Adhesive Remover

When you find yourself out of ostomy adhesive remover, it can be a bit of a challenge to figure out what to use instead. Here are some suggestions that might help you safely remove the adhesive using common household items:

1. You can try using fingernail-polish remover (acetone) or Goo Gone adhesive remover. These products can effectively dissolve the adhesive, but they are quite harsh on the skin. If you choose to use them, make sure to clean the area thoroughly afterward and keep an eye out for any signs of irritation.

2. For a gentler approach, consider using baby oil or baby shampoo. These options are less likely to irritate your skin and can help loosen the adhesive without causing damage.
