Alternatives to Smith and Nephew Skin Prep?

This topic is about finding alternatives to Smith & Nephew Skin Prep barrier wipes, which can cause a stinging sensation for some users. If you're looking for options that might be gentler on your skin, here are some suggestions:

1. 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film: These come as individually sealed wipes, with 25 in a box. They are known not to sting and provide a better protective film. Users have found that they can also help extend the time your wafer stays sealed compared to the Smith & Nephew Skin Prep.

2. 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Pump-Spray Bottle: Some people prefer this spray version over the wipes for ease of use and comfort.

3. 3M Liquid Bandage: This is mentioned as having a similar formulation to the Cavilon products and could be another alternative to consider.
