This is the best sling for showering in I've used it many times now. The fit is great accept the neck isn't totally comfortable if you're wearing it around daily but for the shower it's fine. For a while there I was wearing it daily and I just put a sock under the collar and it was fine that way. I did that because it was very humid and I found the mesh style was way better than the closed material while the weather was bad. It was easy to put on and supported my arm well. Read more

Excellent, lightweight sling. I have used this after my shoulder replacement surgery. The heavy duty one which I received from the hospital immediately after my surgery was fine, however, I found this one worked well when I needed a break from the heavy duty one (especially when showering). It also dries very quickly after showering. In fact, after one week on the heavy duty sling, I pretty much wear this one all the time now (until I no longer require any sling at all). Well worth the nominal cost here on amazon prime. Read more

Far, far, FAR too big. I am a 5’2” adult and adjusted it to the smallest size, and it was still way too big and provided almost zero support. Hard to imagine what size person this would actually fit decently on. The adjustable strap slips/does not stay at the desired length. Good for showering. Read more

I had a shoulder replacement and this sling came in handy for my showers. It worked perfectly Read more

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. Read more
