Lichen Schlerosus Swim Shorts

Posted by lady100 @lady100, Oct 8 3:59pm

Does anyone know where I can find reasonably priced waterproof shorts, so that I can get in the hot tub with my husband? I was thinking rubber or latex or silicone fabric without seams that could leak, but I can't really find anything that would properly seal the waist and thighs that doesn't require me to wear a full scuba drysuit that would eliminate the massage aspect of the hot tub.

I hope you find something to help. LS takes so much planning and thought. I would like to suggest that the heat might cause a flare. Have you checked that out with your doctor? Good luck!

@jw9 Thought about that, but I thought maybe using men's shorts for more room and my husband suggesting a low temp on the hot tub might help - He said he could set the tub to 98 degrees. I also thought I might be able to place a cooling pack inside the shorts... I really want to try to enjoy the hot tub with him. I have not checked with my doctor, but honestly, every medical professional I've seen, does not seem to be that helpful/knowledgeable regarding LS.

Found a possible and ordered it on Amazon... Swimproof incontinence covers that are supposed to be waterproof and okay for use in pools and hot tubs to keep water out.
