Drycast Cast Comfort Itching and Odor Relief Spray - Cools and Relieves Itchy Cast While Cleaning and Preventing Smell- Blue

This actually works very well. It's lidocaine. It will feel cool just after application. Just follow directions. Two sprays should be OK per application.

this product is amazing. Pros: definitely stops the itch, cooling feeling, quick dry, easy to use, life saver, good for sensitive skin. Cons: tricky to get the clear extension tube attached to the spray nozzle (especially with a broken hand, really need two hands to connect it) as others have mentioned. Other notes: - it does provide some momentary moisture which is technically against the casting rules, but it dries very quickly/the cast cotton tends to absorb it fine without impacting the fiberglass material. - leaves a light power residue which was a bit odd to see during the cast removal, so would recommend using a long itching stick to clear out the residue every now and then to prevent residue build-up. - i have EXTREMELY sensitive skin but this product worked extremely well and would recommend/gift it to anyone that is newly placed in a cast.

It's a wonderful idea but there was supposed to be a long straw that attaches to the end of the bottle to help you insert it down your cast better. I couldn't find that long straw unfortunately.

I was under the impression that this was going to spray an aerosolized form of talc or baby powder into the cast to suck up moisture and make it less itchy or uncomfortable. When I sprayed it onto my open hand, it seemed like it was basically just spraying rubbing alcohol. Granted, it was cold. I was concerned about how wet it was. But we used to anyways and it seemed like it calmed down my 6 year old who was carrying on and on about how itchy his cast was. I don't know if it could have been just a placebo effect. But prior to buying this, we had 3 days in a row of not sleeping well due to the cast itching so I was ready to try anything. We switched to a waterproof cast after about 2 weeks. I saw that the old cast wasn't too smelly (probably thanks to the alcohol killing any bacterial growth) and it was dry, despite my concerns that the spray would get it wet inside. But the waterproof cast was itchy for my son also, even more so because the inner lining is plastic. And there was ZERO relief from using this cast spray. The silver lining was that he liked using the long plastic straw to scratch the unreachable itch. But it only comes with one straw and if you lose it, you're done. Like other reviewers, our straw came bent in half to ship, but it didn't seem to interfere with usage. I can see if you are trying to use this one-handed by yourself, it can be difficult to use.

This is not worth the price. It’s essentially just athletes foot spray with a straw. Maybe $15/can might be worth it, but I feel they’re marking it up because it claims to be “special cast spray” Honestly, the scratcher we bought elsewhere that you can attach baby wipes to works far batter for cleaning and odor control. My son said it provided some itching and cooling relief, but it did nothing for odor. All that said, check the ingredients. Do you really wanna be spraying a bunch of gasoline (ethanol), butane, propane, baking soda, and cat pee (urea) down a confined space like a cast and have those chemicals sit on your kids skin for weeks on end? I wish I would have read the ingredients first. After 4 weeks the can is still almost full. Would not recommend

After about a week, I was unbearably itchy under my leg splint post-op. My hairs were growing and so irritated. This stuff really helped save my sanity before I got my boot. I would recommend getting this BEFORE SURGERY! It leaves a white cast but other than that, no funky smell or moisture in my splint when I got it off a couple weeks later.

I’m torn on this one. The spray itself worked for my son (arm cast). The cast got smelly, and the spray did help a lot. The tube attachment does not fit in the spray nozzle. Some other reviews said this as well, but there aren’t many products to choose from. I’d buy it again, (hopefully won’t have to!!) but only for the purpose of spraying the outside of a cast.

Works great

The smell is horrible.
