Since I hate to see someone suffering with an itchy cast, even if she’s a cartoon character, I thought a kind soul might point Mrs. Olsen towards the option of having her’s replaced with a completely waterproof version, inside and out.I broke my wrist one very hot summer and discovered this stuff called the Gore Procel cast liner, a cushioned teflon-like fabric that can be used instead of the typical and cheaper cotton cast liner. I had my original cast replaced with a new one using it. The Procel didn’t absorb water, and with my fiberglass cast I could go swimming, shower, etc. without any type of cast covering. The water simply ran out of the cast and the liner dried in about 15-30 minutes.I was able to run soapy water through the inside of the cast when showering, and never had any itching or discomfort. It pretty much kept me sane for the 13 weeks I had to wear mine.Procel was discontinued, but something similar is now sold by 3M, called the 3M Scotchcast Wet or Dry Cast Padding.
