Is there anyway to make this work for upper thighs too?

As with any bicycle type devise, this does work the upper thighs, and the lower calves. It is useful in many positions and great for recovery after surgery. You can adjust the tension to help with the thigh area. It basically depends on exactly what you are aiming to work on. It is not a best for intense exercise, but more for maintaining and healing. You can practically lay down an exercise or sit right up and do it. Used regularly it will keep your legs well exercised, and help in the healing process of surgeries such as knee replacement. It is also well made so it can stand up to time and use. hope this helps. God bless

I use it for both arms and legs. When I use it for legs my upper thighs are working too. Try adjusting height of chair and tension. Hope this helps.

Hello, I own a very, very old machine but it still works on the same principles. I would say that yes, this machine will give your upper body a great workout, more so than the legs. Use less legs and use only the arms and upper body and you will feel the burn. I think it is a great invention and hard to find for some reason. Good luck on your workouts! LT, USA

yes, the upper part lifts so you can lift it from calf massage to thigh massage, if you don

I also use it with the patch on top and seam down the back of my leg. Works for me!

Yes , providing that your thigh is not above average size you should be fine .

The distance between the buttocks garment positioned correctly will only allow the extended thigh pieces to reach the upper thigh. It is not recommended to use the device for any other body parts.

Oh I'm not sure. Maybe if you get the smallest size possible cause they leg (thigh area) would be tricky.

You'd have to put the pantyhose on one leg at a time. If you only pulled each leg up to your calf and got the feet pulled on to fit, I think you could then ease the rest of the legs up together on each side, at the same time. I've never tried it as I don't wear compression pantyhose, just 20-30mm pressure thigh highs.

Probably. I wrap almost all of it around my upper thigh and hip. My hip size is around 42".

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

It has the ability to adjust the fit, and I primarily use it on my forearm, so I would think you'd be able to do this.

It can be done but not comfortably. If you have a large upper arm you will need the extensions. I think my arm is fairly small and I can barely get it to work. I just haven't gotten around to ordering the extenders.

No - strictly upper body. Only leg action are bars to anchor your legs under.

This is not meant to be a "thigh" toner - It is only meant to be used for the upper body (arms, shoulders, chest area, upper back.

We use it on our calfs. I think it would fit on my thigh but it would probably be just barely.

it is a long arm band it would work better on your forearm or upper arm. You would have to double it over.
