This topic is about finding alternatives to barrier strips that cause skin irritation, even when a protective barrier spray is used. The person is looking for options that adhere well without causing dermatitis.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Many people have experienced similar skin reactions, such as immediate pinkness or burning, from using Hollister Adapt barrier strips, Coloplast Brava strips, and other Hollister-branded strips. If you have sensitive skin, switching between these brands might not resolve the issue.

2. Before deciding on a new product, consider requesting free samples from various manufacturers. Some options to try include Hollister Adapt #79400/#79402, Coloplast Brava #120700 series, or products from other companies.

3. To find a suitable product, perform a "patch test" by applying each sample strip to an area of intact skin away from the stoma. Keep it on for the same duration you typically wear your barrier strips. This approach helps you identify a product that doesn't irritate your skin without affecting the peristomal area or wasting your supplies.
