I am wondering if anyone has used the Salts Aloe Rings for irritated skin? If so, what was your experience with them?

I use them, not for irritated skin, but they last the longest. I can get 10 plus days before I need to change out and skin is good.

I use them daily, first stick the ring around my stoma and then place the drainable pouch on top. I have tried several different types but Salts Aloe rings are the best. Mind you, I use the skin protective barrier wipes first around the stoma before sticking the ring on.

I use them daily. I have experimented with others, but these work best for me. You can put them straight over irritated skin and it will heal. You can also apply a barrier spray like Cavilon first if you wish.

Are you talking about the 'Salts' brand? I tried the Salts flange extenders, but did not use them for the intended purpose. I had badly irritated/raw skin, and my ostomy nurse suggested the flange extenders because they are very thin and infused with aloe. I just cut a small piece to the exact size of the irritated area and applied it, then applied my usual appliance. It worked beautifully and my skin is totally healed.

Yes, you can. I get my supplies from Canmed Direct. 'canmeddirect.ca' I order online and they have much better prices than I've found anywhere else. They carry Salts brand.

I am curious to know the product description or product number of the salts product you are using.

35 is bigger than I need so I fold over a bit, flatten it out, and cut off the excess. This method works better than stretching out a smaller one. Last time I put one on was Feb 25 and changed Mar 8 seal was still good after 12 days.

Thank you! I am going to try to get my hands on some of these. The wear time sounds amazing!
