Do Wipes Affect Ostomy Bag Adhesion? What Works for Me

Standard wipes for ostomy care are discouraged by some medical professionals especially when it comes to impacting wafer adhesion. In this video, I share what works for me, why I use standard wipes, and how I separate products that touch my skin from products used inside my bag. I also show the size difference between a standard wipe and an adhesive wipe and explain why that matters in my routine. This is not medical advice — it’s my lived experience. I always encourage checking with your stoma nurse or medical providers when trying new products, especially those that come into direct contact with the skin. If you’re new to ostomy life or still figuring out what works for your body, I hope this helps you feel less overwhelmed and more confident asking questions.
