That's generous of you, @Alyse. I'm not having issues with my current appliance, so an adhesive wouldn't be something I'd use/need.

If your company offers samples to the public, I'd be happy to add them to this page.

Have you ever tried Skinister Medical Adhesive and remover?

Hi Alyse, I have not heard of the brand, but that's not surprising as they might not sell their products here in Canada.

Is this something you're looking at trying, or have you already tried those two products? I suspect the adhesive remover would work very similar to the Hollister adhesive remover, but I can't speak for the adhesive as it's not a product I'd normally use anyway.

@Paul Woolley

You shouldn't notice much difference between the brands. These spray adhesive removers tend to be made of the same stuff.

I use this spray on my Hollister wafer with a tape edge. I find that short blasts followed by running my finger as a sort of wedge between the tape edge and skin works well. By the time I get to the wafer enough of the spray has already begun to release the adhesive that it comes off fairly easily. I am going to start using the Brava brand due to cost.

Bonjour,
A ma sortie de l'Hospital j'ai reçu un échantillon spray adhésif Hollister j'en suis ravie et je le trouve très efficace en deux pulvérisations ! c'est clair nette et pas besoin de tirailler sur la peau. De plus il ne gêne pas du tout à la tenue du nouveau socle ! Chez nous en Charente maritime ; c'est un accessoire de confort ; il n'est donc pas remboursé par la sécurité sociale. Cela coûte 12,60 euros ! celui que j'utilise depuis le 04 avril de cette année n'est toujours pas fini et il m'en reste encore pour un petit moment !

"Hello,

When I left the Hospital I received a sample adhesive spray Hollister I am delighted and I find it very effective in two sprays! it's clear and no need to tug on the skin. In addition, it does not interfere at all with the holding of the new base! At home in Charente Maritime; it is a comfort accessory; he is therefore not reimbursed by social security. It costs 12.60 euros! the one I use since April 04 this year is still not finished and I still have some for a little while!"

Good luck, Robert! I love staring from the basics rather than using everything available! I hope you're able to get good results and probably save you time with each appliance change.

Wow Thanks again Eric . Just watched a few of your videos on the mini guide . Now I wonder if I've been doing extra steps that are not needed by doing what little they did teach me in the hospital . I have been using powder and Hollister skin protectant wipes and remover wipes since surgery in 2016 . I may have to try the barrier (wafer) buy itself and see what happens . Will be gone for a few days but will try that and I will let you know .

Hey Lad (John) Thanks for the reminder I need to get the rubbish bins to the street for the rubbish man ! Lol .

Hey Robert,

Sounds like we've got three different things being mentioned here:

- Adhesive: this is something that most wafers already have on them and most ostomates would not need to add extra adhesive to it. But... there are adhesive sprays and wipes to help the wafer stick better.

- Adhesive remover: Either in wipes or sprays, these products weaken the adhesives on your wafer so that it can come off easier and more cleanly (no residue left on your skin).

- Skin protectant (also called barrier wipes or sprays) are sometimes used to protect the skin from irritation. Not necessary and may interfere with the adhesives on extended wear products.

I actually go into detail about these three products in my Ostomy supplies series: https://www.veganostomy.ca/tag/ostomy-mini-guide/
