Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about the concerns and tips related to showering with an ostomy bag. The original poster is worried about showering with the bag on and getting it dry enough afterwards to prevent leaks.

Advice and Insights
- Many users find it easier to shower with the ostomy bag on, as it helps the seal to stick better and they have not experienced any problems with leaks.
- Some users recommend using a hairdryer to dry the fabric part of the bag after showering, as the warmth helps the seal and the bag dries fast.
- It's common for users to shower with the bag on, empty and clean it before showering, and then dry themselves off first to allow the stoma to get some air.
- Some users change the pouch/flange after a shower, while others roll up the pouch and tape it across to protect the flange, then change the pouch upon drying off.
- Using waterproof tape can help the wafer adhere while in the shower, but it's not a 100% solution for everyone.
- Some users prefer to shower with the whole pouching system off, while others use waterproof tape on the sides and across the top of the wafer and shower with the bag on.
- Towel drying the pouch and using a cool hairdryer on the flange can help with drying after showering.
- Some users have found success in using Glad Press 'n Seal to keep the water out of the pouch during showering.
- It's common for users to shower and remove the wafer and bag before the shower on the days they plan on changing the wafer and bag, and shower with it on on other days.
