Is there a very tight band around the top and bottom of the support. I tried the Tommie Copper and it was so tight it bruised my leg, returned it.

I bought this for my son. He says it fits great, and he wears it every day. He would have definitely said something if it was too tight. With Amazon's great return policy, try it. My son wears it to play sports as well as just every day use.

no, the band is some sort of woven material, like a ribbon. it's thick, stiff and the padding is too hard. the band itself is not wide enough per my Physical Therapist's opinion.

This is just a small band that fits under the knee. It isn't a brace. I am very heavy and like this type of band because it has a long Velcro strap that will fit anybody.

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.

Hi Marybeth; I know it goes around my top calf which is 18 inches and is very confortable. It would be confortable on a smaller leg and I think would be find on larger leg. I am very satified with my truform and have been wearing for several months now. I hand wash after every wearing and dry on a paded hanger, Hope this helps you. Patricia A Smith

I did not use mine too long...I have narrow feet, but it was too tight and eventually hurt. I had to quit wearing it. A great pair of custom made orthodics along with daily stretching of my calf muscles helped a lot.

I got the older production and it did not. But i had no problem with the band coming loose at all. I am using fitbit charge now.

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.

It adjusts quite a lot but if you are petite the fabric might be too much. I bruised really bad under my arms and could not wear it. The Brace people were very helpful and issued a refund. Try it if it doesn't work return it.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.

While I'm no expert, I've noticed at times discomfort myself. I think you need to be sure you wear good shoes to take some of the immediate pressure from hanging. You have to remember you are hanging your entire weight off your ankles. I have shifted my weight more to tops of my feet when I've noticed the discomfort.

I have had a bun and thigh rocker for a long time and still use it. One of the bands recently broke and I ordered a new set. Make sure you specify the oval shaped bands and not the bone shaped bands(they don't fit). I had to return the bone shape bands and finally got the correct ones.

I found the should caps would not stay in place and after wearing a size smaller the piece in the back hurt my back from being too tight. Returned the item for a different brand that had bra like hook closure in the back and had circle style straps that went over the shoulder instead. Good Luck!

No - its like a rubber band material across the top... its very stretchy and conforms to the size of your leg... its a little tricky with hairy legs, but after a time or two you will learn how to get it on easily - it doesn't squeeze too tight, if thats what you are asking. Just enough to keep the water from streaming in. We bought 2 different ones of these when our son broke his leg - and this was the better of the two!

You will need to measure above the knee because that is where the knee support will be the tightest (the band at top of the support).

I'm sorry I don't know anything about the product you're asking about. I bought the surgical open toed compression socks. Those are comfortable and the band does not pinch or roll.

I agree with your question. I don't have the support anymore. The support part of the brace on my knee was good, but there were rather hard rubber band type things at the top and bottom, which really cut into my legs above and below my knee. I would not recommend this brace to anyone. It was not helpful; it was uncomfortable; and didn't seem to have the proper sizing for the top and bottom to go along with the knee support itself.
