WARNING: This review contains nudity! Last month I fell over whilst walking along the street, I am a bit baffled as to how it occurred, but one minute I was walking the next I was face down on the ground. I discovered as I was helped up that I couldn't put any weight down on my left foot without excruciating pain. Fortunately we were quite near my boyfriend's house so he helped me hop back. Frozen peas made very little difference on the swelling, but we assumed that I had just sprained or twisted my foot, as I hadn't stumbled or landed awkwardly at all. However, the next day it was still very sore and I went along to my local A & E, where they X-rayed ...  Read the complete review

Several months ago my little girl broke her arm after jumping off a swing whilst it was still moving and landing very badly. After all the details of going to the hospital, getting xrays, and having a plaster cast put on her arm, it wasn't until I got home the next day and thought about what a pain it was going to be getting and keeping her clean - with a plaster cast that's not allowed to get wet, having baths and showers was going to be awkward, just like I remembered it being when I broke my arm as a child. When I was young and in the wars, my mum just put a plastic bag on my cast when I was in the bath, but this was far from perfect and I remember getting shouted at .  Read the complete review

A few years ago I caught the toe of my shoes in the hem of my trousers and landed horribly, banging my knee against the edge of a stone step on the way into the building where I work. My trousers did pretty well, getting off with only a small hole but the knee underneath was a heck of a mess. After the local office first aider had cleaned it up, he advised me to get up to A&E and get it stitched and a colleague drove me over. The A&E staff wouldn't stitch it because it was right on the middle of my knee cap and instead they patched it up with water soluble superglue and butterflies and sent me home with instructions not to get it wet for 'a week or two'. One of ..  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT? A plastic bag designed to be used if you have a plaster cast or dressing on your leg, enabling you to shower or bathe without compromising your recovery. HOW DO YOU USE IT? Simply slide your leg into the top of the bag, squeeze the air out and make sure the sealing section is flush against the skin. The bag will then self seal to provide a watertight barrier to protect your cast. IS IT ANY GOOD? When I broke my shin bone last year I was in plaster for twelve weeks and used these cast protectors throughout so I could shower as usual. Each one can be reused and are suitable for 8 weeks of normal use, I ...  Read the complete review

Back last year I suffered a leg break whilst going in for a tackle in football. After the whole fiasco with dealing with A and E and getting home a ran a bath as I was still muddy from the game. At this point I suddenly thought "how am I going to keep my cast dry and keep clean"? I first tried a black bin bag and tape. This did not work and I soon found myself sat drying my cast with a hairdryer. A friend of mine said you could by a device to keep casts clean and dry. I looked online through a search engine and came across the Limbo Waterproof Cast Protectors. After reading many positive reviews and realising I had to have a cast for a number of ...  Read the complete review
