Can you swim or shower with these patches?

Oh yes. Just make sure when you apply it that your skin is clean with no lotion on it. They work really well!

You shouldn't because the patch may come off, then you would have to immediately replace it. This will make you have to double the amount you purchase. You can apply the patch after you swim or shower safely and worry less about it becoming dislodged or loosened. RN

It depends on your skin and the seal. If you hold the patch down for 10 seconds as instructed, on clean dry skin with no lotion, you should get a pretty good seal. However, people with oily skin like mine are always going to struggle with patches falling off, both in and out of water. I found Nicoderm falls off the least often of the four brands I reviewed and it's the most sticky. But I swim laps daily, so all of them took some wear and tear.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

They are very sticky. Just as long as there not in the shower, you should be ok.

Don't swim, but it says to apply only twice a day so I would guess no. Also it says to avoid using it if badly sunburned. I would use Avon Skin So Soft without bug guard with the kids at the beach.

I have been wearing mine in the pool for close to a month now with no problems. I don't think you can dive in it, but it's ok for swimming. You definitely can wear it it the shower or bath too.

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!

No, you can not swim with this. This thing fit nicely on my ears. You may need to change the ear piece rubber. It comes with two extra sizes.

Yes, they are waterproof so you can throw them in a pool or bathtub. Have fun!!!

No. If it's Lycra it's water permeable. If you want waterproof you'll need to look at silicone or latex swim caps

Yes, but try not to use it with every shower because it can potentially dry out your skin and possibly cause skin irritation.

No, but it does get in your eyes if you put it on your forehead or face before swimming.

You could but it would not look good...different color, texture, etc... the patch is a rough cotton material.

I purchase these for my husband who has an abdominal port for his PD dialysis. He uses it for his daily shower but has never gone swimming. showering and immersing it in water is totally different. I would try the bigger ones so you have more space that is glued.

the patch comes with a tray that the wee wee pad fit into. The tray is waterproof and does not require any additional protection.

sorry, never tried to swim w/it. It doesn't have a problem w/sweat, if that helps.

Yes you can. Host water is fine too. Yes after you wash your face and put on plenty face cream.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.
