    The waterproof products by the Big Box stores as mentioned above, should do the trick.
    If you wish to test a piece, like I did, I put in a pail of water for a couple weeks, to make sure no layers
    separated.
    Things to care about include:
    Is it Virgin Plastic, or recycled....including Chinese Made
    How thick at what is the finish layer made of.
    The connection mech.

    Most of these have been well addressed in the last year or so, but older stock does exist.
    Make sure when you start, you see that the planks lock together without a gap.
    A micro bevel Edge is recommended.

    Shaw products in the US, are very well made with garnet coating, I believe and Virgin PVC.

    I used Bestlaminate.com, they did negotiate over the phone, free delivery, and no tax, when I bought last year. At that time, I went with a Product from Belgium. Berry-Alloc. It had more Patterns, A better Backing and print, and an easier locking mechanism. That is not as needed today.

    I newer product on the scene, maybe not as much for your need, is magnetic vinyl flooring.
    Just pretty cool how it works, and should drop in price one day.
