Best Ostomy Adhesives & Tapes of 2026

"I've tried a ton of over patches and adhesives for my CGM sensors, but nothing worked as well as Skin Tac. It keeps my Dexcom G7 sensor in place even with heavy sweating, showers, and swimming, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. The liquid formula is easy to apply and a bottle lasts forever. I pair it with waterproof over patches for extra security, and removal is a breeze with adhesive remover wipes. This stuff is a lifesaver for anyone struggling to keep their CGM sensors attached."

"I'm always active and sweat a lot, so my CGM sensors used to fall off days before they were supposed to. Once I started using Skin Tac, my sensors stay put for the full 10 days, no matter how much I sweat or shower. The liquid is easy to apply, doesn't have a strong smell, and a little goes a long way. If you need your medical devices to actually stick, this product is a game changer."

"Before switching to the liquid version, I used the Skin-Tac wipes, but they left sticky residue on my hands and were a bit awkward to handle. The liquid is much better—it's more effective, gives me better control during application, and lasts longer for the price. The bottle was a bit tough to open at first, but no problems since then. Highly recommended, especially for CGM users!"

"Using this product has made a huge difference in keeping my Libre sensors secure. I find it very cost efficient, and a single bottle lasts me an entire year. The liquid form is especially effective for reinforcing adhesive patches—much better than the wipes. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with sensor adhesion."

"After struggling with my Libre sensors falling off too soon, Skin Tac was a total game changer. Applying it before and after sensor placement keeps my sensor and cover on for up to 12 days. The only minor downside is the tackiness that lingers for a while, but it’s worth it for the strong hold."

"I wear a CGM and an insulin pump, and this adhesive keeps everything in place flawlessly. It dries quickly, is very sticky, and doesn't irritate my skin. I feel a lot more confident knowing my devices will stay attached."

"When other products let me down, this one truly saved my peace of mind. The hold is extremely strong, and it's become a staple for me. If I could wish for one thing, it'd be a gentler spray stream, but overall, nothing else works as well for me."

"After gaining weight, my bag kept sliding off, especially when I was sweating, but this spray completely changed the game. Now I can shower, exercise, and go to the beach without any worry. It even stands up to the hot Caribbean weather. I can easily go over two days without needing a change—absolutely essential!"

"I've had an ostomy for 25 years, and while I never had leak issues, trying this for fun after a free sample was a great decision. Now, my skin looks better than ever and I've added it to my routine for good. Plus, it's great to support a company that gives back to the community."

"I've used this adhesive for my EVERSENSE 365 CGM monitor, and it truly is the strongest, most reliable option I've tried. It holds far longer than competitors, and I've found that letting the spray air out briefly before application gives the best result. The only minor downside is the sticky residue, but alcohol removes it pretty easily."

"As someone with an ostomy, this product has been a game-changer for me. It offers the perfect level of stickiness, dries quickly, and is easy to wash off with just soap and water—no special remover needed. I wish I'd discovered it sooner!"

"I use this spray to keep my prosthetic secure all day. Most of the residue comes off with the prosthetic, and it lasts 12 hours or more. The applicator could be better, but the hold and comfort make up for it."

"I found this adhesive to have excellent sticking power, keeping my ostomy tape in place for days, and it’s no harder to remove than standard adhesives. The fact that it’s not water soluble means my barriers last longer. My only minor issue is the large applicator, so I recommend using q-tips for more precise application."

"This product does a fantastic job holding my colostomy bag securely. It’s very sticky, so I always wear gloves when applying."

"While it did make me glue my pants to my belly once, it’s become a great addition to my medical supplies and really helps slow down leakage problems. Just be aware that it can drip a little."

"I've been using these for years and find them just as effective as those supplied by my insurance provider. Now, I get all my ostomy care products from Amazon—it's convenient and worth the cost. I highly recommend them."

"I bought these for my dad, who's an ostomate, but he wasn't happy with them. The strips are hard to get out of the packaging—I needed scissors—and they don't stick as well as other brands we've tried. For us, the Coloplast Brava strips or Convatec stomahesive paste work better."

"After struggling for years with pouch adhesion, I tried this product based on recommendations from an online forum. While I know these strips have helped many people, for me, the pouch actually came off more often. Still, I believe it's a good product that might work for others—I'd try it again if my situation changes."

"I found that the shape was not correct and it didn't fit my dome as expected. The product didn't match the description provided."

"Honestly, I was skeptical about using a moisture barrier spray because I thought it would just add to the wetness, but I was proven wrong. It completely dried out the chafed areas and relieved the swelling and sting overnight. This spray is definitely effective if you're dealing with moisture-related skin issues."

"I've started using this for my son's stoma care since he had some redness and mild skin breakdown. It really works well and gives great relief, so we'll keep using it for palliative needs."

"I switched to this spray from my usual, pricier brand to save money, but I was disappointed. It helps with stinging and forms a barrier, but it doesn't provide the adhesive effect I need, and my bag doesn't stick as well. Plus, it leaves a bit of an oily feel."

"I've tried several adhesives and this one surpasses the 7730 and Hollister products. The adhesion is impressive, it lasts over a day yet comes off easily with the remover. The 4oz spray also seems to stretch much further. I’m definitely coming back for more."

"My silicon shoulder pads kept losing their grip, but this adhesive completely solved the issue. It’s the answer I was looking for!"

"I needed something that would hold up to everyday movement without a bra, even for a C cup. This worked perfectly. Just a heads up—the recommended remover could work better."

"I've relied on this product for my infusion sets for almost two years, and the adhesive lasts for days—even through long showers. The bottle format is extremely economical and perfect for home use. I always clean the site with alcohol first, then apply a thin layer, and my sets stay on securely. Cleanup is simple with an alcohol swab. This is a true money-saver."

"As a Type 1 diabetic using a Dexcom CGM, I struggled with the sensor adhesive wearing off too soon. After my doctor suggested this product, my sensors consistently stay on for the full 7 days. I've used the same bottle for over two years. The key is applying just a small amount—too much can make it harder to stick. The residue is easy to remove with an alcohol wipe. I never apply my sensor without it now."

"I’m active—I swim, play tennis, and shower daily, so I need something that keeps my CGM tape secure. Skin Tac keeps my sensor attached for two weeks or more, no problem. I just use a thin layer and let it dry before applying the sensor. It’s very sticky, so I always use alcohol to clean up, but it’s worth it for the hold."
