I am sure that this has come up before --maybe many times before, but I guess I have missed those posts!! What do all of you do to keep the pouch and wafer dry when you take a shower? I went on line and bought a contraption that does not do a bit of good ( and it was like $30.00). I tried a plastic food bag with water proof tape and nothing seems to work. I hope someone has a good idea for me. All ideas are welcome!! Thanks in advance.
