Every patient should have access to one if not able to get an area wetWonderful aid to feeling normal after a melanoma removed with a skin graft so I couldn’t get 2 wounds on my right leg wet. Made me feel like a new woman the first time I showered and washed my hair after 14 days without. Wish I had known about these from the start! I am going to tell the District Nurses about these as every patient should have access to one if not able to get an area wet. Joni |
Worked brilliantly, didn’t leak at all“Worked brilliantly – visited Center Parcs with our 10 year old, and didn’t leak at all despite several hours of daily swimming, including diving down to the bottom. Make sure you follow the instructions”. Derek |
I have been 100% satisfied with this product and I have recommended it on a number of occasions“I am an active 50yr old competing in a number of cycling sportives throughout the years, as well as swimming, running and walking, and have developed interest in triathlon. You can imagine the psychological frustration following snapping my Achilles tendon while running in my last triathlon, as this resulted in an operation and being in a cast for over 8 weeks. I went from being active on a daily basis to zero exercise, being dependant on crutches I became totally disempowered! Following contacting BLOCCS I was able to return to swimming, it was a sanity saver, once I arranged transport. I used the product 3-4 times a week for a mile swim, plus a few sets, at a time with the use of a pull buoy to aid hip/leg buoyancy. DURATION-45mins -60 mins session-Swimming crawl. FREQUENCY-3-4 times a wk. Slight dampness to top and btm (toes) cast dressing, not the actual cast but the dressing occurred, but I’m convinced this was mostly due to sweat not leakage. I solved this by a little talcum powder to my toes and at the top of cast prior to wearing the cast protector. Sitting on the edge of the pool and squeezing the air out of the protector allows it to fit reasonably tight to the cast, minimising the balloon effect. My pool sessions were only up to an hour at a time but I wouldn’t hesitate using it for longer sessions. I also used it when camping at a very muddy festival, marshalling at a tri event in torrential rain, a boat trip in the rain and of course showering and bathing. I have been 100% satisfied with this product and have posted details on three Facebook/forums I belong to and have been an advocate of your product, I have been approached on a number of occasions and have recommended your product.” Andrew |

My son spent most of his holiday in and out of the water, it didn’t leak“We bought 2 short leg protectors last month as we were going on holiday, we bought 2 in case 1 of them ripped. It didn’t, it was totally brilliant, it made my son of 7 have a totally fabulous holiday so thank you for that.

Was absolutely wonderful and really did save my son’s holiday‘The cover we ordered, which was delivered to our campsite, was absolutely wonderful and really did save my son’s holiday! A fantastic product and great customer service.’ Hannah |
Thanks to the Bloccs leg cover I was able to go swimming“Thanks to the Bloccs leg cover I was able to go swimming. It was great to be able to keep fit and take the strain off of my other leg.” Sarah |
I can’t tell you how pleased I am with this product“Hi had my full leg protector arrive today and have had my first shower since my tibia tubercele osteotomy operation on Friday (4 days ago) I can’t tell you how pleased I am with this product. I have to wear a locked brace for 6 weeks so can’t bend my knee once in it so I can stand with the protector and shower!! One point is that it is slippery so to overcome this I had a towel in the shower (not covering the plug hole!!) and this made me more confident. Thank you very much” Janette |
It allows me to swim in our pool when I can’t have water on my leg“I love your short leg protector! It allows me to swim in our pool when I can’t have water on my leg! Thank you! My only suggestion is it would be nice if you made one for your leg that had openings at both ends, so your foot could be outside of the cover. This would also take care of the slipping in the shower.” Suzy |
