Find Best Price at Amazon"My 6 year old son has been using this cast cover for bath time and for play time at school."
"We ordered 3 different long arm cast covers as small as we could find - she wears 6-12mo clothes and weighs just under 19lbs - and this one was by far the best for fit and (lack of bulk)."
"Next time I would put a dry piece of sponge of paper towel in there in order to prevent the cast from getting soft."
"She is on the swim team and swims daily, sometimes multiple times per day and she had a full arm cast with pins in her elbow."
"Our six year old son recently broke his arm and this product has made bathing and using the hot tub fun again!"
"No leaks, perfect fit!"
"I'm giving it 2 stars since I can still use it to help keep her dry when we visit the splash fountains at the playground, but I can't really recommend this for any kind of swimming and would even worry about using it in the bath."
"It was a struggle to get the product up onto the cast, then up the whole cast onto the arm above."

Find Best Price at Amazon"He had been using it in the shower and bath, but yesterday my son was able to swim in the pool all day thanks to these little covers. It almost like a thick latex, or like my son says a "really awesome rubberband cast cover"."
"He body surfed the waves in the ocean, went kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing, jumped off the side of the pool, etc. By the end of the week, there were a few drops of water between the two covers, but overall his arm stayed dry."
"It was used 5 or 6 times over the course of a week and not a drop got in to the cast despite some fairly rough usage which included multiple jumps into the pool, snorkeling in the lake, rolling around with other kids in shallow water, etc."
"This product is amazing! It also worked well in the shower and I didn't have to worry about her cast getting wet."
"showers, baths, and hours and swimming for 3 weeks in this thing - and his cast never got wet."
"We tried a less expensive Curad cast cover that was available at our local pharmacy and water got right in my sons arms cast."
"I wish I had a couple more on hand as there were at least two other kids with casts sidelined at the pool."

Be careful to pat down any adhesive that did not bond (in phase 1 of this process) to the skin as you are "unzipping" this cover. The tegaderm itself is so onion-skin thin, that it requires this additional layer to keep the product firm while you are placing it."

When I got back on the road I asked my pharmacist if he could order me some thinking it might get it cheaper from his supplier. Wound care had previously switched back and forth between Santyl and Iodosorb as trial and error."

"Just make sure you know what your doing, it is only a temporary fix until you can get proper medical care."
"I have, fortunately, not had to use this product but, since my husband is on Eliquis and does a lot of carpentry, it gives me tremendous peace of mind to know that, in case of a serious cut, I have a quick way to stop the bleeding rather than having to wait for 911 to show up."

"This dressing was very supportive and held my scar together really well."
"Significantly better just couple weeks in!"
"I am very excited about this product, my scar is healing up nicely!"
"It was so easy to apply, and since you apply it and forget about it, it was much easier to maintain than everything else that you had to apply 2x daily. Photo 1: 4/7/16 after the bandage came off. Photo 2: 9/8/16 right before applying my first embrace treatment. Photo 3: 9/16/16 after removing the first embrace treatment to let it breathe for 12-24 hours (per the instructions). Photo 4: 11/3/16 after removing my 6th treatment!"
"Since the Embrace strips I purchased didn't account for a small vertical incision below my bellybutton or the scar around the belly button itself, I'm also using silicone tape (Meditac). - On time delivery. - Because the strips stay on from 7-10 days, there is not much "up keep", unlike ScarAway Silicone Gel which requires two applications daily. Not a big deal, these abrasions tend to clear up anywhere from 3-10 days depending on the severity, but the pulling on the skin around the strips can be uncomfortable and pinch at times. When you apply Embrace everything looks nice and new, but within a day the adhesive has migrated out around the strips and collected lint from every article of clothing you own. I couldn't find any information on this so I continued using Embrace (mostly because scar therapy is most effective the earlier you can begin treating). I don't know if this is advisable (they never did call me back), however I can say that I did continue using the strips in areas where I could feel / see remnants of stitches rising to the surface or popping through and it didn't seem to cause a problem. OVERALL: I began using Embrace on my breasts a week before I started using them on my stomach incision since there were a few spots along my abdomen that took longer to heal. During that time I used the Meditac Silicon Strips on areas of my tummy tuck incision (and where the drains were removed) that had healed and left the other areas uncovered or covered with the doctor recommended tape."
"The first one I put on lasted 5 days and started lifting all around the edges and after putting medical tape around the edges, I finally got fed up and took it off at day 7."

"Be prepared to immediately wrap yourself with plastic seran wrap. They leak out the bottom of seran wrap (unless you duct tape the seams)."
"Burn was from the elbow to the fingertips, had to just wring out the foam and scrape the gel out of the bag to cover burn, the 4x4 foam pad didn't help for this one."
"The pad itself is white 4" x 4" with a spongy texture and lot of *for lack of better word* GOO inside.The photo of it on the white plate looks darker than it really is as I had to adjust the lighting so that you could see it better. The pad does not have any kind of adhesive, which you wouldn't want to put on a burn anyway so I figure the next burned in our house I will just loosely wrap and Ace bandage over and around it so it will stay put."
"Didn't like how messy it was but thankfully I had some dressing left over to use :). Will order again to keep in the cabinet."
"Needless to say that it is very common for someone to get burned by the fire, by grabbing the hot end of a log stoking the fire, or accidently touching the scolding hot steel rim around the designated fire pit. Sure enough this past weekend’s camping trip my buddy reaching for the coffee pot he leaned to far forward in his camp chair and fell forward into the fire, he put his hand out to catch himself and grabbed the steel rim of the fire pit."

My wife was running around the basement looking for this bandage all the while the blood was pooling under my death grip I had on my ankle. When I got to the hospital and they unwrapped that bandage I thought it was going to gush blood. everywhere, nope."
"I was cutting hedges with gas powered hedge-trimmers and my best friend stuck her hand in from the other side in an attempt to pick up the clippings. Fortunately, my first aid kit, which always contains several Israeli Battle Bandages was just a few paces away in my vehicle. The finger was still attached by just a small bit of skin and what (we later found out) was a blood vessel. After I bandaged her finger in place, we began the journey to seek professional medical assistance."
