@A MyCOPDTeam Member I ware my oxygen every time I shower. I have 25 ft of tubing from my concentrator and I just run the cannula and tubing under my shower curtin. You can do the same just using whatever equipment you have. The oxygen blowing keeps the water out. If you have a shower, get yourself a shower head with a hose so you can sit and shower. It's so much easier to wash your hair that way. Hope this helped.

I the same but I run my hose over the shower curtain . It keeps the water off the floor that way.
