Hot tubs and Indy Pouch - What protects best?

15 years 10 months ago #17886 by Melodie
OK...proud pouch owners...what is the best protection for stomas when going in a hot tub or for swimming? I finally took a bath and found the tagaderm bandaid does not stay on me as I thought it would...it was good for maybe 10 minutes. I let Rosebud open to the air and water when taking a shower but when I take a bath or if I were to go swimming, I would prefer to keep her well protected against chemicals and dirt. Any suggestions? I'm leaving for Maui in August and need to be prepared so I can completely enjoy myself. :) Thanks Melodie
