I know that you can shower with no pouch at all but can you take the bag part off and shower with just the wafer or will the water make it not stick?

well technically, the wafers are supposed to be water proof, but i have yet to test and trust that theory

I used to pop off the bag and shower with just a wafer in between changes and it didn't affect my wear time at all. Go ahead and try it on a day that you are just staying around the house if you're nervous about it. Sounds stupid I know, but I always felt a little cleaner.

You can and there's no harm in doing it. Just be aware that others have reported that the water can loosen the wafer from the inside by showering that way. But many people do shower with just the wafer on and have no problems.
