Removing the adhesive from the Omnipod can indeed be challenging for some users. Here are a few tips that might help:

- Adhesive Remover Wipes: These are specifically designed to break down the adhesive and can be more effective than alcohol wipes.
- Baby Oil or Coconut Oil: Applying a small amount of oil around the edges of the adhesive can help loosen it.
- Warm Soapy Water: Soaking the area in warm, soapy water can help soften the adhesive, making it easier to remove.
- Patience and Gentle Removal: Take your time and gently peel the adhesive off to avoid skin irritation.

If the adhesive leaves a gray streak, using a gentle exfoliating scrub or a soft cloth with warm water can help clean the residue. Always ensure to moisturize the skin afterward to keep it healthy.
