I have been using Cavilon Skin Barrier Wands since my old Dermarite Wands are so hard to find. Well, I noticed that in the shower now my barrier starts to come unglued. That is not a desirable effect if I want to go swimming any time soon. If water is going to cause my barrier to come unstuck, then I can't go swimming. This never happened with my Dermarite Wands. They worked to keep my barrier in place. Can someone advise me on why this is happening and how I might be able to prevent it? I know I can use extender strips, but they give my skin blood blisters for some reason. So it's not the best option for me.

Great place for newbies to learn, I have helped many folks on here learn to irrigate, plus learned a few tricks myself. Great informative site.
