I've been offered a course of bandaging (for my arm) and wondered whether anyone had advice about showering. I've seen some cast protectors on Amazon, which look like they'd keep the bandages dry (the LimbO make seems to be recommended by the NHS) but I'm just a little concerned that the elastic top might restrict lymph flow. (Perhaps it doesn't matter if it's just a quick shower.) Maybe I should wait and see what they recommend at the clinic, but I'd quite like to have something in place so that I don't have to wait too long before showering - my partner won't thank me 😀!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Thanks for replying so quickly, Naomi. That's very good to know.
By the way, I'm getting on well with my LymphaPress and am glad I made the investment in the end. Measurements taken at my last clinic appointment show that I'm making progress...
The limbO will work well. The elastic top lid needed to ensure your bandages remain dry. The limbO is available on prescription so speak to your GP or lymph clinic about script
