I use coloplast, but I have not been able to swim since my surgery (can't wait til I can again!). For a while I was able to take baths, though, and they were fine, although if I was taking a bath every day, I wanted the sure seals on them too.

You may want to tape the outside a bit for extra confidence, as you haven't used them before.

Have fun, but don't overdo it, as you still need rest.....

Maybe it's over by now, anyways....

All brands are safe to swim in as long as they're suitable for your skin type. It may be better sticking (pardon the pun) with what you know for now (if you know they do ok in water) rather than try something new for a party. It's safest to experiment when you're not going anywhere, that way, if it doesn't work, you can clean up at home.

Try sitting in a bathtub for half an hour with the new bags on to test if they work for you!
