Can anyone please suggest a way to waterproof my privates during swimming?

[stirling]

Sorry its a really weird question but health related ! Also going to try posting in exercise.

I have a very severe bladder problem and am dealing with a number of conditions: intersticial cystitis, trigonitis, fowlers syndrome, current stubborn infection, pelvic organ prolapse....

I used to go to the gym but now struggle with most forms of exercise. I really want to swim as it'll support my organs that have prolapsed. But can't afford to risk the chlorine water touching my vagina. It can be a trigger, and indeed I tried it in a uv treated pool (they still use small amounts of chlorine) but had a huge flare afterwards.

So far I've tried buying latex knickers, putting my period leak proof knickers on top of that and some pads. Then swimming costume on top. All soaked right through and horrible flare afterwards.

Does anyone have any suggestions as it felt wonderful to be in the water.
Thank you

Some pools are ozone treated rather than chlorine. Try local spa hotels?

I have a similar issue with chlorine pools in that I'm prone to UTI's. However, I think I may have two solutions for us:

1. Use waterproof dressing. Put the dressing area over your private parts and make sure the waterproof part is completely sealed. I suggest you put this on when you're about to go for the swim. Remove as soon as you're out of the pool. Pack a few of these if you're making a day of it.

1. Use a silicone breast cover especially one that allows you to pull up the breast. Use a cotton piece or dressing gauze over your private parts. These are sticky AND reusable. Grab a couple of pairs if you can. Remember: always put on just before your swim and remove immediately after each swim.

I enjoy life as best as possible through my faith, His people and community.
