This is a basic and inexpensive sling to keep your arm in place for a shower. It's not super rigid or anything so you still need to be mindful of your arm position. But it will keep your arm supported and remind you to just use your other arm to soap up and stuff. I have been using it for a week after shoulder surgery. It is pretty easy to get into because the strap can be adjusted with one arm and adjusts long so you have room to get your arm in. Then with your free arm you grab the strap and pull and shorten the length to what you need. When you are done, there is a tab on the strap that you press and the strap lengthens so you can get out of it to put your real sling on. I wouldn't wear this for anything more than the few minutes you are in the shower. It's not intended to rigidly secure your arm nor would it be comfortable enough wearing it long term.

I purchased this for my MIL. She had shoulder replacement surgery. She said that she's super glad I thought to buy it so she can take a shower without her arm hitting the shower door when she forgets that it's numb and let's go of it. I did that when I had hand surgery and thought I damaged it. Scared the b Jesus out of me. And it's not easy trying to bathe with one arm all the while trying to keep your arm from swinging all over. And you don't know if you've hit anything cause that sucker is completely numb and useless. Buy this sling, strap it in and lather up without a worry in the world. Very helpful!

I recently had surgery on my arm. Two of the restrictions were to not get the incision site wet for the first two weeks, and to not allow my arm to fully extend (IE keep it bent).Once I was given the OK by my surgeon to shower, I bought this sling so that I could support my arm.Right away, I can tell you that the sling works but is a bit cumbersome to wear. It covers a lot of the arm, which makes washing it difficult. It also isn't very comfortable. My arm will be swollen and sensitive for the next few weeks, and the mesh doesn't feel very good on it. I tried using it once and decided to go a different route.The best solution I got was from my surgeon. She gave me a few long rolls of gauze and told me to make a simple, makeshift sling for my arm. You take a length of gauze, tie both ends together to make a loop, put it around the back of your neck, and loop it a couple of times around your wrist. It holds the arm immobile enough to keep it from getting injured, but it leaves most of it uncovered so that you can wash it. It's also WAY more comfortable, at least for me. Definitely not as secure, but in my case I don't need the extra support.I prefer to have my arm more exposed in the shower. Because I wore a wound dressing and Ace bandages on my arm for two weeks after my surgery, the skin was quite dry and still covered with pre-op iodine solution. It took several days of light scrubbing with a loofah to get rid of all of it and to remove the dead, itchy skin. With the mesh sling in place, I could rinse my arm with water but not really wash it. Once I went to the gauze sling, I had full access to my arm and was able to really clean it and apply lotion to soothe my dry skin. It feels normal again.I'm glad I tried this sling and I will keep it with my first aid supplies in case something happens in the future. I hope I never have to use it-- I'm about as sick of surgery as anyone can be-- but it's useful to keep around just in case. It definitely has its place if you need to securely immobilize your arm while you shower or bathe, or perhaps in a field first aid kit if you have the room. However, if your arm only needs moderate support, you might be better off with a makeshift sling that exposes your arm more and makes cleaning it easier. It's actually a pretty good sling, but I'm docking it two stars mostly so that anyone looking to buy it will consider what kind of arm support they really need before making a purchase.

This is pretty much what you would expect from a sling. It is an open mesh design and is convenient to provide support for an injured arm while showering.

I wish I’d known that these were around when I first dislocated my shoulder and had a problem taking a shower. These are perfect for showering with as they secure your arm plus they dry out quick. I also used to sleep with him last summer, and a lot cooler than the full-bodied Units.

Nice and cool. Great ventilation and does not overheat the arm. Also has nice support. Had purchased a cloth sling and it was so hot, felt like wearing a coat so switched to this one
