Best adhesive remover for Ampatch?

Post by Bklynbabe »

I’ve been using the Ampatch micropore patches and love them (thanks to this board!). My only issue is that it’s hard to get the adhesive off. I have to remove the patch very slowly and am left with a thin line of adhesive where the edge of the patch was. I’m not too concerned about the looks, but my skin gets irritated if I don’t remove it so I’ve been rubbing hard with a wipe to clean it off entirely before I shower and replace the patch. So far, I’ve tried coloplast wipes and spray and sensicare wipes. The sensicare are the best, but I still end up using a thumbnail at times and I’d like to spare my skin any trauma. Has anyone else had this issue and found a better solution? Or can you share which remover you use if you don’t?

Thanks!
