If you wish to remove your conformer to rinse it off and put it back in you may do so once your doctor has advised you of the proper time frame for this. Always take safety precautions when removing the conformer. Wash your hands with soap and water before you begin. Look around your surroundings and make sure that any sink drains are covered and toilet lids are closed before removing your conformer. For removal, use your pointer finger to swipe inside bottom lid and under eye, with the finger resting on the lid margin. Starting from your nasal corner and sweeping towards your ear. Be ready to catch the conformer so it does not fall to the ground. Keep in mind, if secretions have built up behind the conformer drainage will take place as the conformer is removed. The conformer can be washed with a baby shampoo that is a gentle cleanser which is non-irritating to the socket and rinsed off with warm water and reinserted into the socket.
