Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This is the best invention EVER! I had no idea these existed until I had a severe fall, broke and dislocated my ankle. I broke both sides, and ended up with surgery to insert 2 plates and 7 pins. I was ordered to be completely off-weight for 8 weeks at least. The orthopeadic surgeon recommened this product, and it was a life-saver. I have since recommended for several friends that have had injuries, or children with injuries.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This was a swim team saver. My 7 year old daughter loves to swim, and does swim team in the summer. After breaking her wrist we thought this summer was going to be a bust. I bought this product and it saved the swim season. We loved it and will use it again if need to be.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Bought this for our child - for use with a cast - even the smallest one was a little large, but then again, we can keep it for future use and hope that just having it on hand will prevent the need! At any rate - it was a great help with bathing and for swmimming - although I did have to wash it with mild soap because it absorbed odors....yuk!

This product enabled my little girl to have a great 4th of July in the pool with everyone else!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My six year old son broke his arm 2 weeks into the summer. He is now able to swim with his brother every day at the pool. This was the best [$] I have ever spent...I would have paid twice the amount. Thanks for helping make his summer as "normal" as possible even with the broken arm.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The water sock worked pretty well. We were going to the beach for 2 weeks and my son broke his leg. We were desperate to find something so he could go in the ocean. It was hard to put on and and take off. Overall, I would recommend this product.

watch for sharp shells
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The product that I purchased didn't fit over my daughters cast at all. I measured her arm exactly like the instructions told me and the opening wouldn't fit over her cast no matter how much I stretched or pulled.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My five year old son broke his arm on the first day of summer vacation. I tried this product and loved it! He was able to shower and swim all month long at the pool and the beach. It is easy to use and folds up very small. I would recommend this product to everyone. Thank you for giving me back my summer!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Thanks to this product my grandson can swim even with his arm in a cast! It works perfectly and is well worth the money!

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Worked pretty well. My 4 year old son broke his arm just prior to our summer vacation on the river. This product allowed him to play at the beach and take baths without his cast getting wet. His only complaint was that it hurt his arm when we suctioned the air out of the product. Overall a very durable product and I would recommend it to others.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This product saved my grandson's summer vacation. He was able to go to the pool and water parks and was thrilled with his cast protector. It worked great!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My son broke his arm at the beginning of summer break. Since we have a pool in our backyard, this was a life saver. We even went out on the neighbors boat, where he was able to do a little tubing. Since his cast went nearly up to his armpit, we found that a slight amount of water got in, but we put the cuff of a sock around the top of the cast, to soak up what little got in.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Easy to use, the cast stayed perfectly dry. My 10 year old son used it in the shower, tub and the pool! The Dry Pro saved four weeks of summer.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
When my 9 year old broke her arm, we were happy to find this product so we could enjoy our waterpark vacation and the rest of the summer. When it arrived, I was concerned it might cut off her circulation but this was never an issue. It fits tight, but is very comfortable around her bicep and did not cause any tingling or discoloration of the fingers. She has taught the counselors at her camp how to pull it on and off without any problems. It comes with a small pump that takes out the excess air. She has worn it for many swimming events and bathtime without a single drop of water entering the cast area. We love this product!

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The Dry Pro was a lifesaver! My daughter broke her arm just days before our neighborhood pool opened for the summer. This product allowed her to still enjoy swimming - even though she had a cast. In my opinion - the dry pro is a mother's best friend!

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The cast protector works as advertised but, we have had to modify it to make it work. We ordered the x-small for children for our 5 year old son, and have to put waterproof tape around the top of it to make it stay closed. If we didn't it wouldn't work. There is no smaller size, but clearly small children find ways to break their bones.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Works well in pools, on the beach, etc. Would not recommend for use in waves, as water could be forced down through the top seal. We duct taped below the top seal to stop if from rolling down. Also, keep an eye on the valve-we duct taped it to stop it from opening accidentally. All in all, a great product that salvaged my 10 year old sons trip to the beach after he fractured his ankle. Just remember that nothing is fooolproof and you'll do well with this!

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
We LOVE the product!!! We used the long arm Dry Pro waterproof cast protector. We were leaving on vacation and needed the Dry Pro right away as our 8 yr old son wanted to go swimming in the Ocean and pool. [...]
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The cast cover works great in the shower. For the pool, it is not 100% waterproof; my son (8yrs) swam underwater with it and water did seap in although the seal was never broken. There was never any water seapage in the shower, maybe because it is not submergered underwater in the shower. He has a full arm cast and the cover that met his size requirements is very long for his arm, it hangs about 6 inches past his finger tips. It is good for the summer but for my son, it is uncomfortable and now that it leaked once we have to be very cautious when using it. I guess it is better than nothing. I found water-proof casting material on another site that my orthopaedic surgeon is going to put on at the next appt. [@]
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
is a very great concept..do not apply if you have long nails.. very tight to put on,,and painful if on for more then 20 minutes
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Wonderful product. Allowed my daughter to salvage
our vacation at the beach. Our vacation would not have been nearly as fun if she couldn't enjoy the ocean and pool like everyone else. Lightweight but durable,easy to travel with. Small hole developed from the friction of the cast putting it on. Just need to be careful doing it. Buy it!! It's great!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
We followed the directions but when my daughter went into the pool, it immediately leaked causing her cast to become wet. As a result we needed to have her cast changed. A complete waste of 36.00.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
With an ankle surgery, I have to be in a cast for six weeks. This product allows to take a bath whenever I want. After the first use, I felt like a person again, clean and shiny.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This is great! My 10 year old daughter broke her ankle and had a non weight bearing cast. She couldn't exercise at all but swim. This saved us....opening weekend at the pool she was right in with everyone else. She could shower with a stool and didn't neet any help!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Care must be taken on how this product is put on the patient. My 16-year-old son placed this on himself too high up his arm the first time and he ended up with sores from the tightness of the material.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My 11 year old son used this over his arm cast to swim. He was swimming and going down water slides.Overall it worked great. A few times minimal water did get in. We just pulled it off, dried and reapplied it. No damage to his cast. I would buy this product again.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I do recommend this product, but not for those who have had recent surgery.
The pumping process to remove the air and create the seal that makes this product so great caused great pain to my foot, especially at the incision.
The product does do what it claims, the seal is waterproof, However I would have to endure a great amount of pain to actually use the product the way it is intended.
I still use it to cover my cast. I keep it outside the tub while I bathe without removing the air, but honestly a garbage bag would work just as well.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The Dry-Pro cast protector was a gem, it allowed our daughter to swim in the ocean and the pool and kept her cast perfectly dry. She had broken her foot just days before our Florida vacation and we didn't think we'd be able to go without something like this....took our chances and ordered it. It was a vacation saver, she did everything she wanted to do and it didn't slow her down one bit! [...]
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
convenient,easy to use for showers knowing that water leaks would be prevented or minimal
kept my daughter swimming and having fun inspite of a broken arm and a long arm cast
saved money on heavy garbage bags for showering protection for eight weeks
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Item is very bulky. It also contains latex which is problematic for many people. Latex needs to be prominently displayed in the product description. [...] contained latex; too bulky. And I cannot return it. Unacceptable.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This is a good product and really waterproof. I can swim with it in a pool and do watersports at the beach too. It's ionly con is it is bulky and has a huge hand - I have to duct tape it down to a more usable size. The XeroSox is very similar but thinner and more flexible - but it hasn't torn yet, so I prefer the XeroSox. But do not buy these products from Allegro - their return department is terrible - they refused to give me a return authorization number for items within their return guidelines and "could not find' another return.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Purchased this product for my 13 year old son, worked for about a week, it now releases air and leaks from the top. Would not recommend. Double up on garbage bags works just as good for showering.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My doctor recommended this instead of a waterproof cast for my below-the-knee cast. For my initial post-surgery cast, it didn't even look like it was going to fit, and indeed it was a *little* difficult to put on and take off. But I did get it on, and it did its job well. When I had my cast changed to something slimmer at my first post-op appointment, there was no problem taking the Dry Pro on and off. I have only used it in the shower, not swimming or bathtub or ocean. The only concern I have is the first time I used it, it did feel like it was cutting off the circulation after 20 minutes or so (hey, it takes time to get in the shower with one good leg), but I made sure to take it off before too long. No indications of leaking or rips. I highly recommend this.

I bought other's before buying the DryPro. My cast is dry after showers now. I don't have to vacuum the water out of the cast anymore.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
used at beach and in pool
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Item was great, had foot surgery and this protected my cast. I was able too sit in a shower and have no concerns cast getting wet.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The drawback to this item is that it shrink wraps the protector around my hand, compressing my wound and making it impossible to use my hand. It is too expensive and their is better products out there.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
After my son both fractured and lacerated his big toe, it was imperative that his foot not get wet. This product not only delivered in terms of keeping his cast dry but it also held up under use by a very active 4 year-old little boy. It made bathing so much easier and swimming possible. It saved the summer for us.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
It got me back in the pool. Thanks!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My three year old daughter broke her arm two weeks prior to our beach vacation. The DryPro enabled her to go in the water, play in the sand and swim in the pool. She was a champ wearing it. The DryPro saved our vacation!!

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My son broke his hand a week before our trip to Maui. Because of this product he was able to surf, snorkel, scuba, swim, and jump off high (!) rocks. The product kept his cast absolutely dry. You will need 2 people to put it on and take it off easily. Once home, he was able to continue water polo conditioning until the cast came off! No athletic down time.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
We're on a 2 week vacation at the ocean. When we bought it we were very hesitant about using the protector. My son broke his elbow and has pins in the bones, so it's very important that we don't get his cast wet. But the first time we used this product it worked great. We've been using it for 10 days now and everyday it seals great and we've had no water on his cast. Thank you for making our vacation fun this year!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This thing worked flawlessly.A little tight and slightly difficult to get on and off. But it has to be, for it to function.No water cast past the elbow,so this is the next best thing.Great for showering and swimming!Put it on in 10 secs and remove it the same.I am 100% satisfied!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I bought the Dry Pro Waterproof Cast cover for my wife after she broke her leg. She was able to go into the pool, bath and even the jacuzie without getting her cast wet. My son had broke his wrist two months before and we used bags, surran wrap and even a rubber dishwashing glove. Thank god we found the Dry Pro, it's so much better and easier to use.Thanks,[@]
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My daughter broke her arm in July. Since we spend our summers swimming, we were all worried about the effect this would have on her summer. This cover kept the cast dry while diving, swimming underwater and while bathing too. A great product, easy to use, heavy duty (withstanding a cast banging on poolside concrete and granite).

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I just returned from a Carribbean cruise after swimming with dolphins, snorkeling and enjoying the pool daily. My cast was dry and comfortable and I was not hindered in any way. I am also a medical professional and will recommend this product to my colleagues and patients. THANKS!!!!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My 6yr old broke his arm fathers day weekend so we thought this would be the answer to all our summer plans that had be haulted. Not so the arm opening was so tight it wouldn't fit over his splint, after a couple of weeks he got a normal plaster cast and it went over it fine but the valve did not stay on so water leaked into it and it doesn't stay tight against the skin at the forearm when bending the arm.
Maybe this one was just defective but I doubt it.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
11 year old daughter broke her hand.[...]After recieving the product wore it three times and it ripped.really poor prodoct..Would never recomemmend this so called cast protector to anyone.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This thing worked great! I was a bit skeptical ordering online, site unseen, but it was perfect and made the broken arm in the summer soooo much better -- also helped with independance in shower! I highly recommend it for any parent with a kiddo with broken arm!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Our seven year old daughter was able to enjoy all of her favorite water sports thanks to this cover. By necessity it was tight around the top of her arm where her cast ended, but she said it was well worth it to be able to swim and jump the waves.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I ordered the cover for my son when he broke his leg. The product would not maintain a seal. [...] We tried for an hour to get all the air out and as soon as he would move the seal would allow air in all over again. We measured properly and it seemed to fit fine until he moved. The cover is simply designed to fit like a glove so there is nothing except a tight fit to ensure no air/water enters. Good luck.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This think has kept my boy from complete meltdown. He's able to go to summer camp and swim with the kids, take easy showers, even go to the waterpark. My only complaint is that the device is far wider around the diameter of his arm and hand than it needs to be, but it hasn't slowed down his use of it.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I am using this product with our 13 year old son. I will highly recommend it to my clients with casts and PICC lines.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The Dry Pro cast protector gave my daughter her summer back! My very, very active 11 year old daughter broke her femur along the growth plate at the beginning of the summer. Her leg was put in a full length leg cast which meant no swimming. Not being able to swim in the summer here in Texas is complete torture! She even went two weeks without a shower because she couldn't handle the hassle that happened when trying to keep her cast dry. Because my daughter was so miserable, I took the chance and ordered the Dry Pro without any prior knowledge of it figuring I had nothing to lose but 30 something dollars. It was the best chance I have every taken!! You could see the life coming back into my daughter's face the first time she used it. We were at a pool party and she had the best time of her life. The freedom she felt away from the cast showed so brightly in her face. She just beamed! The Dry Pro cast protector has giving my daughter some summer fun that wouldn't have been possible with anything else. It works perfectly and is so easy! We have had nothing but great results with it. People have been amazed by it when they see her swimming. Dry Pro cast protector made my daughter smile again and for me that is "PRICELESS"! I will always recommend it to anyone I see with a cast on. I can't wait to tell our orthopedic doctor about it.
Thanks again for such a wonderful product! Your product made a very depressing time in my daughter's life a little brighter.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Excellent product. Needs second person for easy removal.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
We bought this for our son after he broke his arm, just above the elbow. Unfortunately, his cast was so big at the elbow, and the sleeve so tight at the top, we couldn't use it for a while. Keep in mind that the sleeve should only be worn for 45 minutes at a time.

This worked perfect when my daughter broke her leg. We went swimming all the time and not once did her cast get wet. I highly recommend it!!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
This did a great job of saving my son's summer. The only problem is that it can only be used for 45 min. at a time. Looks huge but works well. We used a sock to cover the fiberglass cast so that rough edges would not make a hole.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My ten year old broke his arm the first of summer. More upset because couldn't swim. Found this product and he could swim and dive whenever he wanted. Saved our summer and made my son very happy. Thanks for the summer and we would recommend this product to anyone.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My daughter was devestated when she broke her arm 3 days before summer break. I was pleased to find a product that would allow her to swim. It is difficult to get on due to the tight fit that is needed to keep it water safe. I would reccomend it to anyone who is bummed out about having a cast for the summer.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My daughter broke her arm during the early part of summer. The cast cover allowed her to be able to participate in some of the usual summer activities.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I have been able to shower without fear of getting my cast wet. The greatest thing about it is that I did not have to cancel my family vacation to the coast, and I was able to enjoy the water with everyone else. My tan lines will be a little messed up, but it was still worth it all to be able to sit on the beach with my family and enjoy the waves and sand. Thank You Carla Marshall RN WCC
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
I used it on a my daughters arm when we whet to a water park. It was terrific. The only problem I had was that her arm was too skinning to make the seal, so I had to put tape on the top but it still kept the cast dry and it was much easier then wrapping it in a towel and a plastic bag.
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
Following foot surgury and not being able to get the bangages wet, this is the only way I could shower safely.

We ordered tnis item for our daughter. She is 8 yrs old and had her arm broke at school. We have a pool and it was going to be a long summer if we didn't come up with something so she could swim. We looked on line saw this item and thought it was worth a try....It is awesome!!!! She can still swim like a fish and her cast has stayed completely dry!!! It has been a life saver.

Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
My husband was bummed out to have a cast put on his leg just as our pool was warming up, but one 5 minute search on the internet found the Dry Pro Cast Protector. It couldn't get any easier than this! Showers & swimming are a breeze with this product. The cast is 100% dry when the protcetor is removed. I even gave the name of the product to his orthopaedic surgeon who said he was suggesting it to other patients! My husband & I thank you!
Comments about Dry Pro Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector:
The only downside is my daughter eventually put a hole in it with her fingernail after a full week of swimming on vacation. She was very happy to be able to swim with a broken arm!!
