How large is the area to be applied? (rather looking for an exact answer). E.g.: From ankles to knees? Ankles to top of thighs? On one leg or both?

Not a huge area, ankles to knees is good, that also keeps it from sensitive areas. This was for my wife and full legs were fine but seemed a little overpowering. The back of the neck and shoulders seemed to burn.

i bend my knees and put my soles together, or bend my knees and cross my ankles - then i can TOTALLY relax. i can't if i try to kep my knees/legs straight. I love it.

I actually wrap them around my ankles, or right above. Then in my routine, I walk sideways. I admit, I'm still on the "light" band! And I do feel the work being done for the outer hip area as well as the upper thighs. Fantastic workout.

The gel pack covers about one half the knee. It can be located where you want it.

I use it on my thighs and wear the leg sweat bands. I purchased a pair of zaggora.com hot pants to wear with it. My skin felt soft and smooth after putting it on. I put it on my behind too. You only need a little. I say a quarter size per thight depending on leg size. If you use to much it will be itchy and feelings like burning. I stated in another comment. Ive bought 4 bottles since trying it in November. Love it, must have for the gym.

I'm 5"6" with long lean legs. The medium hits at my ankles...but that is fine by me. Hope this helps.

I had to find out by going to the Manufacturer's site where they had more information on sizing and dimensions. It required using a measuring tape around my lower thigh and upper calf. http://www.bauerfeindusa.com/en/products/supports-orthoses/knee-hip-thigh/genutrain.html

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

There are many sizes depending if you are trying to treat a leg, or thigh, or arm , etc. Your medical professional should be specifying a size, although you could figure it out by going to the Tubigrip website.

Follow the specs on the website. The size of the leg above and below the knee may need consideration.

I use it for my calves only. I put a towel or cover my calves otherwise it can hurt.

I would recommend a larger size to make sure, but yes, I put them on my legs, then put on my shoes and pull the foot portion over the shoe. Wore these for 6 months doing Kempo!!

Depending on the width of your legs, yes. My husband massages his lower legs (knees to ankles).

I am 5'3" and bought the short leg version. It came up to just above my knee and was perfect to protect my feet. I had surgery on both feet but no cast but I think there would be plenty of room even if I had had one. Once you get it on, be sure to to pull it down a little to create a good seal. I know some people have just used plastic wrap, but this was so much easier.

The best way to do it is visit Finis website, measure your legs length, email to them to double confirm. :)

As someone who also has skinny legs and ankles as well, I think it depends on where you are planning on wearing it. I usually wear it about partway between my ankle and knee (about 4 inches up from my ankle) and it fits great. I tried it on my ankle and it was a bit on the loose side. It should work when worn on the ankle especially if resting atop a boot.
