The topic is about finding a more permanent solution for hair removal around the stoma, as the current method of using an electric bikini shaver is not long-lasting enough. The person is interested in options like laser hair removal and seeks advice and experiences from others who have dealt with hair removal in this sensitive area.

Here are some insights and advice shared:

1. Electric bikini shaver: This is a simple and inexpensive option that works well for regular maintenance.

2. Chemical depilatories (like Veet):
- These can provide longer hair-free periods compared to shaving and are often used by bodybuilders.
- Be cautious as they can cause chemical burns on the sensitive skin around the stoma. It's important to do a patch test first and limit the exposure time.

3. Laser hair removal:
- No one in the discussion has actually tried this method.
- It's advised to consult with a doctor or ostomy nurse before considering this option. Only trained medical professionals should perform such procedures near the stoma.

4. General hair-removal tips:
- Tweezing any ingrown hairs under the barrier can help maintain a smooth surface, which is important for the adhesion of the wafer.
- Keeping the skin smooth and hair-free is crucial to prevent gaps that could lead to leaks and acid burns.
