Dear Dry Pro,

My son Michael age 6 broke his Tibia and Fibula the middle of May in 3 places. He was casted all the way up his groin thank goodness he did not need surgery but he would be in a cast for 3 months. When I told the Doctor about your products he did not recommend them told me my son would sink in our pool. Out of frustration the end of June we got Michael his first Dry Pro Waterproof Leg Protector (we called it his booty) it was so easy to use my 6 year old was able to put it on and pump the air out of it. Between playing in the bathtub for hours and enjoying himself in our pool to being in the bay and ocean my son has been able to enjoy his Summer. When his cast was cut down, we immediately ordered the smaller leg protector. Thank you Dry Pro for making quality affordable Waterproof Products, that I would recommend and purchase again.

Thank you,

Jan Jarvis

Dry Pro saved our vacation!

Dry Pro saved our vacation! Our 12 year old son Marcus had an ATV accident, which required 17 stitches in his calf three days before we were scheduled to leave on our family vacation to Utah and Colorado. The doctor’s instructions were to keep the stitches clean and dry – which meant no water activities. We found your Dry Pro Cast Protector online and decided to give it a try as a wound protector; your representative helped us pick the right product and had it shipped to our home overnight. Because of Dry Pro our son was able to enjoy all the planned activities of our trip that involved water. Marcus was able to enjoy beautiful Lake Powell jumping from the back of a boat and leaping repeatedly from the red rock cliffs surrounding Lake Powell – a definite highlight of the trip for a 12 year old boy! Marcus was also able to go panning for gold in Colorado, which was an event he had dreamed about for over a year and we thought we might have to cancel because it’s a wet and dirty activity! He was also able to float in the Great Salt Lake. None of these activities would have been possible for Marcus to participate in without your Dry Pro Cast/Wound Protector. The Dry Pro Protector kept Marcus’ wound 100% clean and dry — just as the doctor instructed — without missing any of the water activities of our vacation.

Thanks Dry Pro!

Thank you for making the rest of the summer “waterporrf” for Caleb and his brothers.

Man, we were absolutely stoked when we found out we could get one of these things. While in Ohio on vacation with his grandma, our 4 yr old broke his elbow. Not just a break straight across like normal, but a corner break that doesn’t like to heal. He is now in his second cast and he broke it June 16. We were going to get a big blow up water slide but because he couldn’t use it, we decided not too. We went the whole month of July with not allowing our other 2 children play in the water because it wasn’t fair that Caleb couldn’t either. When we went to his orthopedic Dr. in Chapel Hill, we came across one of your brochures and said we HAD to have one. So one Saturday, we decided to head to Wilmington to get one and then go to the beach. Well your store wasn’t open so we drove all around town till we found Sea Shore Drug that was STILL open at 4pm and was able to buy one. Thank you for making the rest of the summer “waterporrf” for Caleb and his brothers. (and letting me off the hook for being mean) Here is Caleb on the Slip and Slide.

There’s always SONshine; even on the rainiest day ever!

This photo was taken at Okaloosa Island, FL. Jaiden had to have the cast put on her arm 3 days before we left for our vacation and it was a lifesaver! She never slowed down. She swam, built sand castles, jumped waves – did whatever she wanted. In this picture Jaiden and her father are digging a hole in the sand to get to water so they can begin another sand castle!

Mom did not have to worry and Aidan could participate fully in every family outing.

Hello,

I am submitting two pictures of my five year old son Aidan Stinson as he enjoys his summer despite a broken arm thanks to DryPro.

Aidan broke his arm as summer was beginning and at five years old, it was hard to imagine restricting him to the side lines while the rest of the family went swimming. With the help of DryPro, we learned that we could include him in all of our activities. Aidan went swimming in the pool, in the ocean and even in the Cheat Lake. Mom did not have to worry and Aidan could participate fully in every family outing.

The pictures attached say it all. I especially like the thumbs up from Aidan’s cousin while we went swimming in Cheat Lake, West Virginia.

Thanks for making a product that we could rely on and that allowed Aidan to thoroughly enjoy his summer vacation.

Sincerely,

Annette Stinson

I thought for sure our summer was going to be in ruins.

This is my 5 yr old Alicia Slocum. She broke her arm while playing with an exercise ball with a friend of ours. I thought for sure our summer was going to be in ruins. We were in the process of moving and I was going to spend a whole month at my grandmother’s who lives right near Lake Erie and also has a pool right in her backyard. Alicia is part fish I think so I thought what could be more fun. I was so thrilled when I discovered your product. The customer service I got from Beri was above excellent. She talked me through my difficulties of getting the cover on and even sent me a new one when I accidentally ripped it. We had a blast this summer thanks to Alicia’s DryPro. We tell everyone we meet with a cast on about your product. Can’t thank you enough!

Luckily I was able to get my cast cover before the 4th July so I could enjoy the holidays with my friends and family.

I just want to start off by saying thanks because my DryPro cast cover saved my summer. I broke my wrist at the beginning of the summer, so I was pretty bummed out when I wasn’t able to participate in all the lake activities I had planned. Luckily I was able to get my cast cover before the 4th July so I could enjoy the holidays with my friends and family. Unfortunately I didn’t get the camera case because I ended up dropping my camera in the lake also. This was a picture my cousin took of me in the water, but I had an awesome picture of me wakeboarding that I was hoping to use for the contest. Regardless if I win the contest or not, I still want to thank Dry Pro for officially saving my summer.

She fractured her wrist in June and was bummed because she would not be able to enjoy the lake.

This picture is of my 11 year old daughter, Shelby. She fractured her wrist in June and was bummed because she would not be able to enjoy the lake. We live on Lake Wylie in South Carolina and our summer activities are all around the water. With the DryPro Castcover she was able to play in the lake and even go tubing with her friends. Because of the castcover she was still able to enjoy her summer with everyone else. Thank you DryPro!

We were thrilled to find out about your product.

We were thrilled to find out about your product. My daughter broke her elbow three weeks before our annual family vacation to the outer banks. Her reaction to the cast was not sadness because of her injury rather tearful at the mere thought of not being able to swim and surf with her cousins. We were ecstatic to find drypro. It truly saved her trip. The waterproof cover allowed her to play in the ocean, swim in the pool and surf with her family. What a gift!

Thank you for creating such a wonderful product. without it, summer just would not be the same!

Clearly the cast did not slow her down!
thanks again.
sincerely,
