Need help removing wafer! Adhesive remover not working. Suggestions?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a user experiencing difficulty removing their wafer, despite using adhesive remover. The user seeks suggestions for a more effective adhesive remover, specifically for the Convatec Natura wafer and Cardinal Health prep and remover.

Advice and Insights:
- Changing the wafer too frequently can cause difficulty in removal and skin irritation.
- Some users recommend specific adhesive removers such as Hollister adhesive remover spray, ADAPT adhesive remover wipes, Esenta spray, and adhesive remover from Coloplast.
- It is suggested to experiment with different adhesive removers on healthy skin before using them on sensitive or damaged skin.
- Adhesive remover takes time to break down the adhesive, and it is recommended to allow it to seep in and dissolve the adhesive gradually.
- Punching small holes in the new wafer before applying adhesive remover can help it seep in under the wafer from more points, making the removal process easier.
- Using stoma powder under the wafer can reduce adhesion, and applying a light dusting without a skin protectant wipe can help lessen adhesion.
- It is advised to check if the adhesive remover itself is faulty and consider trying a different one.
- Uni-Solve adhesive remover by Smith & Nephew is recommended by some users for effectively removing wafers.
- Wetting the tape with a remover wipe ahead of time and using remover spray can make the removal process easier.
- Ivory Liquid Body Wash and a cotton pad are suggested as an alternative for removing the wafer.
