Is it ok to shower while wearing the patch or will it dilute the effectiveness. Thanks!

I would think it would dilute it. Since you only wear it one day a week I put it on after my morning shower and remove it before my shower the next morning. Hope that helps you.

Yes it can be worn in the shower. I would not wear it soaking in the tub however.

I've had it on for two years, it is wearing well on the shower walls & in the bathtub. There is some wear near the drain, but I believe that was due to someone using too harsh of chemicals for cleaning. Overall, I was pretty happy with my purchase.

I've used it in the bathroom while I've showered without any ill effect; of course that was just in the bathroom not in the shower with me. I live in NV so beaches are a little short in availability.

After a good workout, I remove my suit in the shower - giving it a good rinse with just plain water. Hang to dry inside out. I've had no issues so far; suit is performing rather well.

I apply in the morning after my shower while my feet are still a bit damp. Throw on some socks while getting ready for the day. I only use once a day and it has worked wonders.

NO!!!! I used this today in the pool and it had a spot that was no longer sticking which mean water got in it and probably washed away the medicine..sucks b/c I just put it on this morning. It did stay on fine in the shower though but NOT in the pool!

I only had to use it once for planter warts. I took a hot shower and put the patch on right after I got out. I then wrapped plastic wrap around my foot (the heel). After about 8 hours I checked because I started to feel a throbbing sensation. The moisture definitely sped things up. I am glad I took off the patch when I did. Luckily it wasn't bad, but it did get down to the sub layers of skin. I could see that the top layers and especially the warts turn had turned all white. The next day I was able to peel off the warts along with the dead skin that was about 1/16th inch thick, which was a tick chunk. I don't recommend leaving it on as long as I did, but the warts never came back! :) I only had to use it once for planter warts. I took a hot shower and put the patch on right after I got out.

Are you supposed to shower after the 4 to 6 hours ro remove any residue?How log does it last?Do you get reaction to water? Can you go in the water after the 6 hours?If you are splashed will you get water spots?Thanks.

I used it mainly at night. But have put it on during the day. Just remember not to put it on right after a shower/bath. Read the directions.

Yes, it works well covering medical patches. They keep the 'patch area' dry when taking a shower or just sweating. It does, however, pull off the skin a little bit around the edges, depending on how long you keep them on prior to changing them.

I use it just with water usually in the shower and my cleanser before. I am sure you can mix it with your cleanser as well but I prefer to use it alone. Make sure you rinse really well. Do not use it with an exfoliating mitt on your face either. I happened to be using one on the rest of my body and also used it for my face as well and it took the skin right off my nose that was not a pretty sight (guess I got carried away :)). Oh well, live and learn. Otherwise, it seems to work pretty well.

I don't know about swimming but my mother wore hers during bathing and had no problems. I believe it would depend on the location of the patch. I believe you'd be okay if you put it on your upper back so it wasn't submerged for the total time swimming. I hope this helped.

Make sure that the area you are trying to patch is absolutely CLEAN of dust, debris and anything foreign. Avoid trapping air under patch when applying. You're home free!

I leave my on for the 3 day duration of my patch. Never have a problem with them coming off early, even when they get wet.

It is kind of warm and moist...not uncomfortable. I generally use it before bed, and am not bothered by it. It hasn't actually made me sweat...just a warm, sort of tacky feeling if that makes sense. I haven't tried to bathe it off, but I imagine that would work. But I would not want to wash it off as that might counter the effectiveness...

I believe so. I had been taking it off when I would shower or do dishes but I began to be concerned about stretching and/or breaking it each time I would take it off or put it on. I now leave it on almost all the time. I do however remove if I am using stronger cleaning products such as clorox cleanup.
