A protective, water-resistant bag for temporarily storing a small medical or electronic apparatus which apparatus is sensitive to water damage, said apparatus being connected to a tube or cord leading from said apparatus to the user of said apparatus, said bag comprising: a pouch formed by a first segment of thin material having a flap attached to the bottom edge thereof and folded upward therefrom, said flap not extending to the top edge of said first segment of thin material, said apparatus being stored in said pouch prior to entry into a wet environment; a second segment of thin material sealingly attached at the top edge thereof to said top edge of said first segment of thin material, said second segment of thin material extending downwardly over at least a portion of said flap, the sides of said first and second segments of thin material being sealingly attached together, thereby sealing said pouch save for an opening between said second segment and said flap and shielding said apparatus from a wet environment, said tube or cord extending from said apparatus in said pouch over said flap and between said flap and said second segment of thin material, said tube or cord thereby extending out of said bag; adhesive sealing means for removably sealing said second segment of thin material to said flap around a portion of said tube or cord located between said flap and said second segment of thin material, thereby making said pouch water-resistant; and means for supporting said pouch and said first and second segments of thin material, said supporting means being attached to the top edges of said first and second segments of thin material. A method of making a protective, water-resistant bag for temporarily storing a small medical or electronic apparatus which apparatus is sensitive to water damage, said apparatus being connected to a tube or cord leading from said apparatus to the user of said apparatus, said method comprising: providing a rectangular sheet of thin, flexible material having a top edge and a bottom edge, and two side edges; folding a flap of said sheet including said bottom edge up to form a first fold; folding said sheet to bring said top edge down to a location near to the bottom of said flap to form a second fold; sealing together across the width of said sheet to form a first seam between a portion of said sheet located between the two folds and above said flap, and a portion of said sheet between said second fold and said top edge, thereby forming below said first seam a pouch between said first seam and said first fold, which pouch is covered by the portion of said sheet between said first seam and said top edge, said apparatus being stored in said pouch prior to entry into a wet environment; sealing the sides of said sheet to enclose said pouch and shield said apparatus from a wet environment, said tube or cord extending from said apparatus in said pouch over said flap and between said flap and the portion of said sheet adjacent the said top edge, said tube or cord thereby extending out of said bag; providing adhesive sealing means on said top edge to removeably seal said top edge to said flap around a portion of said tube or cord located between said flap and said segment, thereby making said pouch water-resistant; and providing in the portion of said sheet above said first seam means for supporting said pouch around the neck of a user of said enclosure.
