Topic Explanation:
The initial post asks for advice on using Johnson's Baby Shampoo to wash around the stoma due to issues with the current soap causing problems with wafers not staying on and leakage.

Advice and Insights:
- Avoid using soap containing scents, moisturizers, etc. as they can cause problems with wafers not staying on.
- Use Ivory or yellow Dial bar soap, as they have proven reliable for many years.
- Consider using liquid Dial soap for travel.
- A product called Soothe Cool by Medline, a combo body wash and shampoo, has been found gentle and effective for cleaning around the stoma.
- Clean around the stoma with a mixture of water and Dial soap, followed by alcohol prep wipes to clean the area well.
- Consider using MicroKlenz, a product that requires no water or soap mess for cleaning.
- Barrier rings are flexible and can be stretched and molded to fit everyone's particular stoma size/shape.
- Use unscented soaps like baby bar, Zest, or Dove for sensitive skin to avoid leaving residue on the skin.
