There's a reason these are sold with additional purchase of curved tape.Although the bag us very comfortable and the round adhesive is very easy to remove the white tape around the adhesive is almost impossible to remove without bringing in heavy solvent remover. I used bag for first time today and had to give up trying to take that tape off.A blog by another ostomate warned me but had to try myself. Will call company. Loved the bag and wafer but I'd cut the tape off as suggested by blogger and used the crescent shaped tapes.Will come back with the name of that tape but you can see it under "bought with".Today I was still working on the adhesive from that tape. Hollister's Universal Adapt Adhesive Remover did the job but I understand from a review of that product - the best adhesive remover I've found - that Hollister changed the formulation. I will be contacting that company too.
