MamaFelice, Elastogelgirl & PamBC - you guys look gorgeous! No one would suspect you ladies had chemo!
Elastogel - Penguin does rent "used caps" at $300 per month rather than their "straight from the factory, brand new ones" at $495 per month. They don't say it anywhere on the website (and I didn't know about it in time to ask for it) but several ladies on this thread have asked for and received the discount, including in the past couple months.
The caps are easily cleaned between users, and I would have absolutely no qualms about renting used. knowing the way my caps looked when returned, I think it means there may be some permanent marker that transferred from the storage bags to the caps (we had some partial letters and numbers transfer when we set the caps white side down on the outside of the plastic bag when drying them off and checking the temp).
I am happy to have done the "origami" style cold cap rather than the helmet style caps... I have a small head (easily youth size) and was very worried about a helmet style cap fitting me properly. With Penguin, it is shaped to my head with each application, and I think it can accomodate a variety of sizes more easily .
