Dry Pro has some interesting ideas (“Air Tight. Fits Right”) about how to live your life in spite of your cast or PICC line or ostomy bag or prosthetic. The cast cover, available in various sizes, ranges from $36.95 to $40.95, at drycorp.com.

I’ll admit to being a little skeptical about clothes that accommodate technology, but that was before I started carrying my iPhone, iPad, bottle of water, car and house keys everywhere. And even in the smallest handbag, the phone and keys tend to drift to the bottom. So I’m not sneering at ScotteVest’s Ultimate Pocket Fleece: 19 pockets, each for a specific use. . .

. . . and note the radio-frequency-blocking pocket to keep scanners from reading your credit-card and passport codes. Paranoid much? These days, you bet. I guess we can’t buy this jacket yet; the company is funding it with an Indiegogo.com campaign. But the ScotteVest.com site has half a dozen alternatives (we don’t need fleece yet anyway).

The Raindrops shower-water filter system claims to filter out a whole raft of sediment and mineral deposits, resulting in cleaner, less damaged skin and hair. The filter itself costs $120, and each replacement filter is $53, at www.raindrops901.com.

MANUFACTURERS AND “inventors” are not shy about letting media outlets know what’s new. MyLittleBird’s email box overflows on a daily basis with their ideas about what we, and you, should wear/use/apply/ingest, accompanied by myriad reasons we would want to.

Sometimes the ideas/things are incredibly stupid, sometimes thoroughly unnecessary, infrequently genius.

Here you will find an assortment of the above. We may point you in the direction of how much we love/laugh at the various offerings, but as ever you’re free to render your own verdict.
