So I don’t have to be concerned about my barrier getting wet and having a leakage problem?

@pidge32 I havn't ever had a problem. But if you sit in the bathtub for a while you can see what it does, and you may want to picture frame your barrier with fabric or colloid tape.
Got to get you back to water aerobics!

@pidge32 it should not be a problem as Susan has noted. What do you do when you shower? I have never covered mine while showering or swimming. Although I do have a paper tape frame rather than a colloidal one.
Figure it this way: what do you think your body is putting on it inside the pouch? It’s a lot harder on the product than water will ever be. But a sure seal for a piece of mind might make you feel better about it. Get out there and enjoy the water!
