Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 85 | I have a g tube for feeding and a port. I use "tubie" pads instead of gauze. I buy these from ladies on the Blenderized RN.com site who make them. It is a round surged circle of very soft fabric with a slit half way through. Each has Velcro closure or snap closure. I do much better with these than the gauze. I would be very happy to send you one in an envelope to try. Send me a private message with your address and I will get it right out to you. When I do have a redness problem, I clean the area and apply desitin......a baby diaper rash ointment. Clears up in a day or two. I also use a tape by Reliamed that is incredible. I can also send you more info on this and samples if you'd like to try it.
