How long does this stand up to water? I'm a swimmer and I read that it's fine to take a shower/bath, but how about 2 hour swim?

If you put on properly meaning, the skin that you apply it too has no lotions or greases the tegaderm will last for days without coming off. It is a great item for secure coverage if applied properly.

Hi there!I absolutely think a two hour swim would be just fine. Just make sure you have enough of the adhesive part around the wound. I would say about at least an inch and a half to two inches around, otherwise it can come lose. So you can get a bigger size that you just use for when you're swimming. Good Luck!

I have had the Shower Water Pik close to a year. Two people use it daily and the battery lasts 7 to 10 days. You twist off the bottom which is the battery and twist it into the charger. It is best to charge it at lease 12 hours.

Not too long...we turn it on when we wake up and put a towel on it. I make my bed and lay my clothes out and by the end of my shower (long showers 10-15 minutes ...my towel is toasty warm. I love it!

It can last up to 6mos depending on how you use it and where its stored. It is very soft once you start using it, and it shouldn't be place on a shower shelf.

Water resistant may be more accurate. It recommends reapplication about 2 hours, especially if swimming.

You keep it. I wash it every time I take a shower and, obviously, at the end of each cycle. Let it air dry, put it away, and I don't know why it shouldn't last forever.

Wear a swim cap or a headband when doing water aerobics. Mine still works after 8 months, over 100 swims, for sure, including wearing it when I take a long pre-swim warm-up shower, completely submerged when I swim a length along the bottom of the pool. No worries. It is waterproof.

My tub is 140 gal. and 4 hours is good for me. the trick i found is you need to use a stabilizer or the chlorine will just burn off. i've had hot tubs for 20 years and this is the best thing ever. love it

Yea it work well if you are working out in the gym. It will hold cool up to 4 hour, if you are using it outside it can keep you cool but it can dry up depending on how hot it is. That one thing you will need to keep a bottle of water with you no matter how hot the water is it stay cool.

It will last a few days. Really depends on how much you scrub the area it is on while in the shower or how much your clothes will rub against it. I put it on my lower back and it lasts around 3 days.

I soak around 8-10 hours. Easiest way is to soak overnight. I have had great success with this amount of time!

I can't give you measured hours, but I play mine in the shower every morning for about 20 - 30 minutes, have had it maybe a year? (have to look) and haven't had to change the batteries yet.

Yes, showering, bathing and even swimming & diving are all fine. Owener's manual states it's good to 5 ATM or about 50 meters. (around 150 ft.)

Just because a floor is designed to hold a full bathtub for a bath (which lasts a few hours in worst case scenario) doesn't mean it can continue to hold it for days on end. There is wood fatigue, etc. so I would be cautious about leaving the water there for more than a few hours. Good question though...

When I run I sweat a lot, and as long as I'm not wiping off my face, it stays on. However, when I shower, it definitely becomes super faint. So I think if you just swim but dab your face lightly when you dry it off you should be fine
