Skin-Friendly Stoma Covers - Any Suggestions?

This topic is about finding skin-friendly stoma covers. The person who started the discussion has been using Mestopore patches for about ten years but recently started experiencing skin irritation from the adhesive. They are looking for recommendations for alternatives that are gentler on the skin.

Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Many people recommend trying Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film by 3M.
- It is available in a spray bottle or as individual wipes.
- Users have found that it creates a protective layer on the skin, helping to prevent irritation.
- However, one person mentioned that it might reduce the adhesion of the flange in areas where it is applied.

2. Some members have had positive experiences with Cavilon wipes, saying they are "great" and help clear up skin issues.

3. There was a mixed experience shared by one member who tried the wipes but did not find them effective. Over time, their skin adapted to the wafers without needing additional products.
