This topic is about the Hollister 7760 Adhesive Remover Wipes, which some users have found to be drying out too quickly, requiring more wipes than before for a single appliance change. The original poster is curious if others have experienced the same issue and is considering switching to a remover spray. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

- When opening the packet, keep it upright so the liquid stays at the bottom. If the wipe dries out, pour the remaining liquid back onto it. This can reduce the number of wipes needed to just 1 or 2.

- Consider using a remover spray along with the wipes. Start by spraying 3-5 short bursts along the top edge of the wafer to help it separate. Let the spray work its way between the skin and wafer, then use a wipe to clean off any leftover adhesive. Many find using the spray first and wipes second to be effective.

- Some alternative adhesive removers that might stay wet longer include Smith & Nephew Resolve Wipes and UniSolve Wipes/Spray, which contain alcohol and fragrance.

- If you receive a box of Hollister 7760 packets that are already dry, return them. Suppliers usually replace or refund defective batches.

- Be cautious with sprays to avoid overspray in the bathroom or around pets. Using short, directed bursts can minimize this issue.

- A soap-and-water method can also be effective. Moisten a paper towel or washcloth with warm soapy water, rub the wafer edge until it lifts, and then use remover wipes for any remaining adhesive.

- For wafers with a cloth edge, peel back the cloth with your fingers first. You may only need a small amount of spray to free the rest.

- Many users prefer individually wrapped wipes like Hollister 7760 or Smith & Nephew singles over multi-pack styles because they stay saturated longer and result in less waste.

- For post-removal skin care, after showering, check if the peri-stomal skin feels tacky. If it does, spot-clean with another wipe. Showering with the stoma uncovered is encouraged, and ordinary soaps like Irish Spring or Dial Antibacterial are considered safe.

- For those using a Convatec Active Life hard convex pouch with a tape collar, it is very secure but can be loosened using the soap-and-water technique along with remover pads.
