This discussion is about choosing between barrier wipes and barrier spray for ostomy care. The original poster has been using skin-barrier wipes but is thinking about trying a barrier spray. They are curious about the experiences of others who have used the spray.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Preference for wipes:
- Many people have tried both wipes and spray but prefer wipes. They find wipes to be simple, safe, and easy to control in terms of how much product is applied. Plus, wipes do not sting.
- Some individuals have stuck with wipes because they effectively meet their needs without the need to try anything else.

2. Preference for spray:
- Some users have had better experiences with spray, appreciating its ease of application and the fact that only a light mist is needed.
- The Brava Adhesive Remover Spray by Coloplast is specifically recommended by some.
- One person mentioned they always use barrier spray and have never encountered any issues.

3. Combination method (using spray for wafer removal and wipes for clean-up):
- A common routine involves spraying a small amount around the edge of the wafer to start loosening it, letting it soak for a few seconds, then peeling it off gradually while continuing to spray. Afterward, one or two wipes are used to clear any remaining adhesive before showering.
- A WOC nurse suggested this two-step approach to a new caregiver, who found it to be effective.
- Salts Adhesive Remover Spray is mentioned for wafer removal, followed by a damp wipe.

4. Barrier cream option:
- One user prefers using Brava Barrier Cream instead of wipes or spray. They noted that wipes left a residue, and the cream helps prevent sweat rash under the wafer’s edge.

5. General observations:
- It is easier to over-apply with spray; switching to wipes helped one person avoid using more product than necessary.
- Both wipes and spray are effective, and the choice often depends on factors like ease of use, skin sensitivity, and personal routine.
