I used flesh color ACE bandage. Although it wasn't an ACE bandage it was that bandage that stuck to itself and I totally forget what it's called. The color is actually dead on and if you want to avoid the sweat you can always wrap it in pre wrap too. And i know the sticky bandage comes in a couple of different colors if you want to be festive.

Those are some good ideas, thank you. I'll try the ace bandage thing. I usually do wear a jacket or something in the winter...but that would be insane to do it at this time of the year (considering I live in south texas).

i know its still sort of a "wrap", but i sometimes am able to better camoflauge mine if i use that stuff that kinda sticks to itself and looks like a stretchy ace bandage. its comes in lots of different colors (purple and red are the ones i've seen) but i use the "fleshy" colored one and it blends in a bit better than color or that white netting my home health company likes so much. i'm sorry i don't know what its called, but usually, i can use a couple go-arounds of my arm with that stuff and its fairly thin. this is versus the white netting wraps they give me with the picc that stick out (literally and figuratively).</end quote></div>

Its called pre-wrap btw i never thought about using it but every smart idea there is also another thing kinda the same but just thicker called coaches tape
