I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I have a two-piece bag. I change the wafer thingy once or twice a week, and the bags I just put on, take off, and throw away. No mess, no nothing. Nice, actually. But I love to swim and get scared that if I swim, I have to wrap it and do all of this silly stuff in fear of it falling off? Anyone have any ideas? I've got 2 boys who love to swim, and I love swimming myself, so if anyone could shoot a secret or two my way, that'd be great. Thanks!
