showering with a port

[jaimers]

glad press and seal wrap sticks to your skin so i just put a big piece of that over the accessed port and tegaderm. i usually use tape around the edges too just to be safe but it works long enough for me to shower.

I bought some Aqua Guard on drugstore.com. It is WONDERFUL!! I usuall put it on and then use waterproof tape to re-enforce the edges to make sure water stays out. It comes in different sizes, 7 X 7 seems to work best for me. My port is located under my left breast, so plastic wrap isn't really and option. The Aqua Guard comes only around the dressing and I can wash the rest of my body. It cost $10.99 for 5 but well worth the money as far as I am concerned.

Layer a washcloth (cut to the size of your dressing-aids in any stray water leaks) and then a baggie over it (I have found that the heavier freezer bags work great-once again trimmed to size) and then tape it up (we just use the tape that comes w/ IV supplies).

Will have to look into this Aqua Guard.
