If I go under the shower I clip off the hose , right? But after the shower maybe there is mud on the contactplat and I wont thats this is going to go in me.
What I should do?

I'm not on Ypsopump but I used to have Insight pump (for some four years) and now have Tandem t:slim pump. Both came with tiny plastic 'clips' to attach to the cannula when you detach the tubing for showering. Even when I forgot to attach that 'clip' a couple of times after starting on the Insight, I doubt if any water got in. The tubing is very small. I don't think that you have done any harm.
The answer is that all you need to do now is to re-read the instructions that came with your pump. And do not worry.

If you are still worried, just change your infusion set.

Mud on the contact? Where are you putting your pump when you shower?
When I had a tubey pump (I now have a patch pump which is not removed in the shower), I would unclip the pump, put it on the side in the bathroom and reconnect when I finished washing. My bathroom is clean (no mud around) so I never had any concerns or problems.
