When looking at a waterproof cast cover, choose one that you can be confident that it will not leak, and will be comfortable to wear.

I bought my waterproof cast cover from a website called www.pimpmycast.co.uk This website gave me a huge range of choices of bandage covers and cast accessories. The waterproof cover that I bought, didnt leak at all and was very comfortable to wear.

Hope this helps

I was reviewing sites about these products when I came across your page. I was wondering if these covers could really work. Thanks a million, I will definitely try one of them now - my son is so miserable!

so much, Patti. I am going to check this out. I can't imagine going through this 6-8 wk period with my daughters broken arm, with trying to keep it dry in the bath, etc.
This sounds like a great idea!

Re: Keep A Cast or Bandage Dry in the Shower or Bath -comfortably & affordably (Reply to this comment)

Checked it out and it does look good if the only reason you want to keep the cast dry is for the shower or bath.

My daughter broke her arm during the summer, and we used the Xerosox to let her go swimming - a lot. The cast did not get wet one single time.

I also found that I didn't have to tighten it up as much as they said. Though her arm would get sweaty, she was able to swim for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes at a time in comfort.

The latex would definitely be a problem for anyone who is allergic.

I am just glad these products are out there now!
