Fusion Adhesive Review: Effective but Short-Lived

This topic is about a review of the "Fusion" adhesive, which is used by people with ostomies to help keep their ostomy bags securely in place. The review highlights its effectiveness but notes that its hold is relatively short-lived. Here are some insights and advice shared by users:

- The "Fusion" adhesive is very strong, providing a secure hold for about 24 hours. With careful application, it can last up to two days, but trying to stretch it to a third day might be risky.

- The reviewer uses Fusion when traveling or away from home for its reliability and switches to Salts barrier wipes when at home. They recommend Fusion to those who haven't tried it yet.

- For those looking for alternative adhesives, Skin Tac is suggested. It's a non-latex medical adhesive that is easily found on Amazon. Some users have found that combining Skin Tac with Skin Prep Extra Hold wipes enhances adhesion.

- To prevent leaks and skin irritation, some users recommend using Cohesion washers. One user mentioned that with these washers, they can keep their bag on for 3 to 4 days. They also flush the pouch after each emptying to help extend the wear time.
