Had a pic line fitted yesterday. The nhs cover is too big and slips off so will buy a smaller one, just want to ask what is the best waterproof cover for bathing etc.
what do you lovely people recommend?
You can get one on prescription. Ask your nurses for recommendation and you can get free.
I asked macmillan and got a prescription thanks

I bought lots of covers and hats from Annabandana. You can buy them from Amazon & Etsy as well. Just remember to take care and measure your arm so that it fits well.
I used a limbo cover for in the shower and it worked well, again careful measuring is needed to get the right fit.
Thanks for posting the info, as I shall be having picc line inserted this Monday.
