There is a water resistant foam tape you can wrap around the top of

the cast, it's made by 3M, it's called Micro-foam tape. Just make a

couple passes around the cast and upper-thigh, it's just sticky enough

to stick to the skin and keep leaks from getting in/on the cast but

not so sticky so it doesn't hurt when you peel it off. You can just

remove it when it gets soiled.

We put boys tube socks over Alaya's casts, they kept them clean and

dry. If they did get wet we just changed the socks. We tucked them

in at the top and it helped with rubbing too.
