I had not thought of this when the question was originally asked,
but a product that might be useful for this is Vetrap (or non-3M
equivalent product). It is kind of a thick bandaging tape, 1" to 6"
wide, flexible, that sticks to itself (kind of like Velcro) but not to skin
or hair. It does not use adhesive, so there is nothing for moisture to
get under and cause to become unstuck. It simply physically sticks
to itself.

Great for sprains and similar (unlike an ace bandage, you do not need
pins or clips to keep it from unwinding). It is kind of a rubbery material,
entirely waterproof. It is porous (has air holes; it "breathes"), so it would
let water seep through it.

This is what it looks like:
