I have looked all over the web, even on the Dermarite website itself, and even they don't have it. They have wipes but not wands. I am just going to get the ones I found on Amazon and hope they work as well as the ones I am running out of. Maybe they will be just as good, or even better. One never knows until they give it a try.

I have done an exhaustive search of the web, even on the Dermarite website. They have the wipes but not the wands. I just have to try the other wands and hope for the best.

Are those them, though? If so, Betty Mills has them on the website and Walmart for whatever weird reason. Just trying to help you out.

Nope that isn't what mine looks like. That looks like a 1ml one. I use a 3ml one. I need the 3ml one.

Ooo, I went back, looked for you on Betty Mills' website, and they have 3ml too. You might want to double-check with Walmart; they probably have the 3ml one too.

Thanks for pointing that out. It cost more than cavilon 3ml ones on Amazon and then with the shipping even more. But if Cavilon is not a comparable solution then I will give this a try. Since it appears to be the right product even though it looks a little different to the ones I have. Thanks for doing the research for me I appreciate that as I could not find it anywhere on the web.

Just trying to help out. I found 2 places for you, and I just had to dig a bit. As things tend to get harder to find, we have to dig deeper and deeper. I have had to do it more than once trying to find stuff. If I found it, you can too. It might take some time, and lovely Google doesn't like to show things it should, lol, so you have to search on websites individually.

It is an awful lot of work to find things. I wish it could be made easier. I would like it if things were just there in front of me without having to dig or have others dig for me. Thank you so much for doing the work you did to find what I was looking for. That was very kind of you to do that for me. You are sweet.

I get it completely. Like I said, I have had to dig in on too many occasions. And it sucks that it has to be that way, but we gotta do what we gotta do. And no prob. Glad I was able to find it for you.

I totally get what you're saying! I once noticed a weird smell after eating a lot of garlic, and it seemed to stick around longer than I expected. It's wild how certain foods can really change your body odor. Maybe it’s just your body’s way of processing what you’re eating. If it’s bugging you, you might try cutting back on onions and seeing if that helps.

That's the thing, I don't eat onions. My ostomy doesn't like them, spits them right back out. So I don't eat them. But I can't help but think the smell is like onions. Today I thought it smelled like tomato sauce and I hadn't had any at all in like a week. It's just weird.
