Gentle skin care for everyday stoma management
Looking after the skin around your stoma can help you feel more comfortable and support a better bag fit. Healthy skin allows your stoma bag to adhere properly, which may help reduce leaks and make bag changes easier. If your skin becomes sore, damaged or irritated, using products designed for stoma care can help protect the area and support recovery.
Skin protection products create a thin protective layer between your skin and stoma output or adhesives. Barrier wipes and sprays are commonly used before applying a new bag, while protective creams can help soothe dry or irritated skin when used as directed. Adhesive removers help loosen the bag adhesive, allowing it to be removed more gently without pulling or damaging the skin.
Everyone’s skin is different, so finding the products that work best for you may take a little time. If you are experiencing ongoing skin problems, your stoma care nurse can help identify the cause and recommend the most suitable products for your needs.
You may also find it helpful to explore our full range of stoma bags, stoma accessories and stoma seals products to build a stoma care routine that suits your lifestyle and helps you feel confident every day.

What are stoma skin protection products used for?
Stoma skin protection products help protect the skin around your stoma from adhesives and stoma output. They can help reduce irritation, support healthy skin, and create a better surface for your stoma bag to stick securely.
What does an adhesive remover do?
Adhesive removers help loosen the baseplate adhesive so it can be removed more gently. This can reduce discomfort during bag changes and help prevent damage to the skin around your stoma.
Can I use skin protection products every time I change my stoma bag?
Many people use skin protection products as part of their regular stoma care routine, especially if they have sensitive skin or experience irritation. Always follow the product instructions and speak to your stoma care nurse if you are unsure which products are right for you.
How do I know if I need a skin barrier or an adhesive remover?
A skin barrier may be helpful if the skin around your stoma is sore, irritated, or needs extra protection.

Many people choose to use both products together as part of their daily stoma care routine.
