Don't bother with a cap or cover. I swim in an 89-degree pool and shower, and it lasts for 7 days. Convatec SureFit 2-piece.

I use Saran Wrap and it works pretty well. The bag gets a little wet, but for the most part it is covered. Saw this on YouTube and thought I would give it a try, and for now it does the trick!

Good Evening Bob and All,

I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.

Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,

I do this also, towel blot my and wait till it's dry and then get dressed. Dries pretty fast.

To me, it appears that you remove the bag and replace this cap onto the flange. And after removing the cap, rinse and pop on a new bag.
