  Mine was removed too. I got to bathe with it at the hospital I just couldn't get it wet. I got stitches and the glue on it

  @SalasMommy I showered in the hos too but they told me to wash the wound twice a day. So I do. Ugh.

  I would take it off it didn't last long at the hospital. Just scrub it softly and be careful not to hurt yourself. Fyi. The removal of tape there hurt me sooo much

  First I had staples and they took them out then they put the terry strips on.I left it on. If it was hanging id just take the rest off. I also had a dr appt 2 weeks after my c sec and the dr took the terry strips off my incision.

  no leave them on they will eventually fall off,it takes forever but they will come off...i had those with my second c section and mine took forever...you have stitches on the inside of your cut they sew it inside out and put the strips on the outside...i had staples with my 1st and strips with my 2nd and now just stitches with my 3rd
