Ok, so I have been having trouble with my wafer not sticking down when I take a shower and it gets wet. I have tried wafer extenders, and they don't stick down when they are wet. I bought an adhesive that was suggested on here, and I paid nearly $30 for it. It was a 1 oz bottle, and it didn't compress and spray. So... I couldn't even try it. I'm not going to spend more money to buy it again. It was called Ten Aces, and it was a total waste. I don't know what to do. The Cavilon Barrier Wands don't hold the wafer in place when it gets wet. So now I have no confidence in going swimming anymore. I have no confidence that I won't have to make a bag change if I take a shower, which is an issue because I want to take a shower regularly. I don't have enough supplies to change my bag every time I shower. It's ridiculous.
