How much Compression?

I am a tennis player and have neoprene and ace sleeves and this feels like less compression than those since it is so lightweight but it also doesn't bother you if you wear it at night as those others do. I just found myself very allergic to the silicone bands that are part of it.

I can't be sure but do know it's better than nothing. I almost think the compression may be too light.

I usually run my compressor at 90-100 lbs, and make sure the staples are sharp side down. Good luck!

The amount of force of the flush will depend upon how much strength you can apply. I will provide a gentle flush with minimal effort. Try lifting a soda can full of water to see if you can handle a full bottle, which requires the least compression. I would compare it to squeezing one of those restaurant style ketchup bottles, but the weight is like a full soda can. Hope this helps.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

I got mine down to 5" x5" x1' in a roll uncompressed. I don't have a compression sack. I got it pretty tight. Won't go much smaller.

Yes you can. All you need is a 1/2"mnpt x 1/4" compression. Our you can reduce it down from 1/2" mnpt.

You will need a compressor with a regulator, keep pressure between 40 and 90 psi. The lower the psi the more texture you will have.

With my head on the pillow it compresses to about 2.5 inches. I do have a pretty comically oversized head though.

I think you would need more like 50+ PSI and a fairly large amount of air, like a huge compressor that can sustain constant running. But for the money this item is well worth it.

You should be sized by your doctor. That way you are sure to get the correct size, as well as the right amount of compression. If there is too much compression, it can be really painful.

I compress as my method. Side squeezing is not effective or efficient. also they need a bit of product like an oil or cream.

A small compressor 2 or3 gal. like a pancake or emglo compressor. All you need is 60-65 PSI.

I agree about going down a size.I think you could talk to the CompressionZ company-responsive they will help you with size and usage.

The manual recommends 90-120 psi. I run ln the mlddle of that range with a 7 1/2 horse-80 gal. compressor which is way more than necessary. A 3 to 5 horse would do fine. The spec sheet l is available at Hobart's website as a free download.

Compression as in tight sticking to your body and showing every parcel of your body. Thanks for asking.
