Issues with Cavilon Skin Barrier Wands in Water

Topic Explanation:
The discussion centers around issues with Cavilon Skin Barrier Wands, which the original poster (OP) has been using as a replacement for Dermarite Wands. The OP has noticed that the Cavilon wands cause the barrier to come unstuck in the shower, raising concerns about swimming. The OP is seeking advice on preventing this issue, as extender strips cause skin irritation.

Advice and Insights:
1. Consider using Welland Barrier Spray, which is recommended for improving adhesion. Ensure it is applied thoroughly and allowed to dry before exposure to water.
2. Explore the use of 10 Aces Adhesive Spray, which is applied to both the bag and barrier ring, left to sit for 5 minutes before attaching. It is noted for its effectiveness in preventing lifting.
3. Evaluate the necessity of using a barrier at all times, especially when swimming, to determine if it can be used selectively based on skin condition and activity.
4. Ensure that any product used is both a good adhesive and skin protective to maintain the barrier's integrity until it is intentionally removed.
