Hi Cheryl:
There is also a product out called Rubber Finger Cots (Realmont is one
brand name). They come in 3 sizes, Sm, Med, and Lg. They are the equivalent
to a finger condom in shape. I've worn them over a standand band-aid. Even
gone in swimming with them on, and no leaks.
When I discovered them in the pharmacy years back, I made the mistake
of asking the lady pharmacist which size she thought I might need. We both
looked at each other and busted out laughing. 10 minutes latter we were
still rolling in laughter in the band-aid isle to the stares of the other
custumers. Who says shopping can not be fun?
Regards,
Marc (Victoria, B.C., Canada)
