My son broke his arm, so he got a cast on his lower arm for 6 weeks. I would like to buy a cast cover for showering. I don't know which one is good ,they only selling on online? Does anyone have an idea?
grab one of those umbrella bags you see at the entrance of Publix and you have a perfect cast cover. my daughter was in a cast for 6 weeks and this worked perfectly (with a silly band and a wash cloth wrapped around her arm underneath the top!). She was 3 and taking baths so it was certainly durable!
Cling wrap will work, too! We used lots of it as well as doubling up w/plastic bags when dgd broke her arm - it was summer and she still wanted to swim (we got in the water but she couldn't do any more jumping).
We ordered one of the covers for her - but it would not fit her almost full arm cast very well. Hopefully you'll have better luck!
My son broke his ankle 3 weeks ago. We bought a shower cast cover at CVS. It was about $12.00 I believe. Works fantastically. Found it in the section where they also have ace bandages, wrist splints and stuff. I had to ask to find them at the one store I was at but I had seen them before at another which is how I knew they had them.
We used this one : www.castcoverultra.com . We did like it, it was easy to use it, and they shipped fast.
Wow, really? A cast cover? It's called a plastic bag & tape, lol. Don't waste your money.
If they happen to be taking it off to recheck his arm at all, ask for a waterproof cast. My daughter broke her arm last summer and the water proof cast saved my life.
I have never heard of a cast cover--they think of everything, dont they. We just tied a plastic bag on hers before they switched it to waterproof.
Buy this one : www.waterproofcastcovers.org !This is far and away the best cover for a cast that I have found. I have suffered through a compound fracture and a crushed elbow. Both times I used a different cover and they were unbearable! I ended up cutting both of these in order to be able to use them at all. The opening was so tight it cut the circulation off and I had to cut the first one off. These were not cheap. However, the Castcoverultra is so comfortable and has a double closure at the top so your cast gets extra protection from getting wet. And the cost is comparable to all of the other covers for a product that is far superior.
I am a big fan of this and so is my mom, age 80, who broke her wrist. I was not about to subject her to the other cast protector and found this one on Amazon. I am very grateful I did.
