My insurance doesn't cover adhesive remover, any recommendations on cheapest and best to buy?

I would just check amazon, which has a rock solid return policy for its sellers in case you buy the wrong thing. (Recently I got burned buying some electronics from a fraudster discount website so I just had to throw that in.) Are you dependent on adhesive remover? Normally one should never need them, if you are not changing for a few days as is usually the case- after a few days adhesive is mot stuck so tight.

The Coloplast rings are awesome and stick ! :)
The adhesive remover is good to get the gunk off ...

Interesting- good to know. I am using Hollister stuff but switched from Hollister barrier rings to Eakin (following Blueheron's experience) and find the Eakin ring stickier and therefre lasting longer - but I start my wafer change in the shower and find that the water blast helps me clean it off with a patient wipes.

Check out www.medicalmega.com
I get most items not covered by insurance there. You do have to pay for shipping but I have found it still the cheapest.

Have you tried covering the stoma area with a warm/wet paper tower before trying to remove the residue? I don't use any remover and easily get the residue off.

You can get stuff on ebay too. I wouldn't buy wafers or pastes or bags on there, jut because you don't know how they've been stored. But with adhesive remover it wwouldnt matter. I buy M9 and the little m9 packets off there.
I have never used it either I find I make a bigger mess with the remover,lol.
