Reddit reviews Uni Solve Adhesive Remover Wipes, 50 Each

You can use ostomy prep supplies to prevent this. I'm allergic to lots of adhesives and tend to get ulcers on my skin from contact. Whenever I have surgery or something requiring adhesive I have to use a barrier product to reduce the reaction because my body is so effing melodramatic.

Medical supply company Smith & Nephew makes Skin Prep protective barrier wipes to be applied to the skin before adhesive and allowed to dry. Make sure you apply to the entire area the tape will be attached to plus an additional margin.

To remove you carefully pull up a corner (leave one turned under if you can) and glide a Uni-Solve wipe just under the tape pulling on the tape as you wipe. You really shouldn't feel the tape coming off - the Uni-Solve should do the work. Uni-Solve is greasy feeling so you'll want to have something to wash up with.

For both a single wipe covers a large area. It's pretty expensive, my local medical supply store sells the foil packets per each so you don't have to buy a whole box of 50.

There are other brands available, this is just one I'm not allergic to. Stuff burns like a mofo if it's applied too close to an IV site - catheter has to be in before it's applied. But it's still pretty awesome stuff!

Unisolve remove wipes, or something similar. Smear one all around the edges, wait a minute or so, and it'll lift right off. (Depending on the size of the patch, might need to sort of work your way in from the outside.)

Do yourself the biggest favor ever, and get a package of these.
