This topic is about finding reliable alternatives to Pink Hy-Tape for securing an ostomy site. The original poster used to rely on this tape to cover their ostomy area, especially during intimate moments. However, they noticed that the tape no longer sticks well, possibly due to a change in its formula, and are now looking for a stronger and more reliable solution. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Smith & Nephew Opsite Flexifix tape
- Available in a 5 cm (2") wide roll that can be cut into strips to fit around the wafer or plate.
- Known for staying on through showers, intimate moments, and perspiration. It is breathable, which helps minimize skin irritation.

2. OstomySecrets support garments (like the “Lacy Band”)
- While not a tape, these garments help keep the pouch and tubing secure and out of the way during intimacy and daily activities. You can find them at ostomysecrets.com.

3. Kendall CURITY Standard Porous Tape, 2" (part #6613)
- This is a cloth-based tape with a strong yet gentle adhesive. It is porous and breathable.
- It works well for framing an appliance and can help contain leaks if the wafer fails.

4. 3M cloth medical tape
- Another cloth option recommended for a stronger hold.
- One suggestion was to try using barrier strips underneath for extra security.

Additionally, consider using barrier strips with any tape to improve adhesion.
