The dressing would not be occluded any more than a gauze with vasaline.

The same thing that happens when a mother leaks milk while a hydrogel

It would not be attached.

Did you attend the session on hydrogel dressing at the ILCA conference?
Perhaps you have something in mind other than what this product is.

Do those of you who have been using this product for damaged nipples think
that it could have use in a healing penis?
