Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

If you have tendonitis in your elbow, it takes the pain away. From what I have heard, it stabilizes the tendon on both sides of your elbow. I was in constant discomfort and I as soon as I put it on it I was able to workout again. I wore it for several months, and the pain went away. I don't have to use it very much anymore.

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

I have a thoroughbred with a "shark fin wither", I use a treeless saddle pad underneath it and have not had any issues. After many rides the saddle is becoming shaped better for her wither and fits better and better the more I use it.

Hi Karen, I'm training for my first marathon. I have a slipped disc and IT band issues, and this is what best worked for me.I tried common stretching exercises and massages, nothing worked like this. So in my personal experience, after having it for almost a year, it's firm, it didn't change from the first use. Hope this answers your question.

Diagonal like over one shoulder and under the opposite armpit? Yes, but that would probably feel worse. Or if you mean straight across your chest like you'd wear it around your waist just higher, I suppose. I was worried about how it would feel around my waist as well, and don't feel it at all when I run. It has efficient size adjustments, so you can make it tight enough so that it doesn't move when running. Hope that helps.

My dog couldn't reach anything, but I also bought the collar an inch too long for her. It hits them near the shoulders, so it's quite difficult for them to move the head downward. I wouldn't think the elbows would be within reach, but some dogs are creative and flexible!

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

I think the clip making it travel is maybe why they call it that.. It does have a faster flow, it also angles it to be more like a sippy cup..angle is better than a normal bottle. But i wouldn't use it for too much longer after a year if you are trying to get them cup trained..this is more for when you've moved them to that higher flow and bigger bottles..bought for my daughter cause i bought winnie the pooh everything as i could. its got a good price.

I have had mine for a while now and have experienced problems a few times. I've found that if I wear my iPhone on my right arm while running they work better than if my phone is anywhere else.

None. All terrible. I stopped a week into it because the pressure against my collarbone was too intense. I was worried about forming a bruise.

FYI - the horses body is covered with a textured material, they aren't smooth plastic. It does wear off, so it's great for older kids, but not for ones who will put it in their mouth.

Mine bounces. What is the best way to adjust it to eliminate the bounce? Is it the joint where you tighten it with that super long-stemmed tool they give you? I have tightened it there but it still bounces.

Eh... not really. I personally have to stop and take the thing off. I usually can't see the screen if I'm running in sunlight, and I have to wear it with the screen on the outside of my arm (as opposed to the side closer to my body) to prevent it rubbing in my elbow crease or against my chest. This means I can't see it without loosening it and turning it towards me. It's still probably the most durable and functional armband I've come across. I have reached the conclusion that there's just not a perfect one out there.

There is a little metal ball that moves whenever iyou squeeze contwiner. I never have put my finger over it since the little ball automatically covers the hole when squeezed. You can fill bottle up and sit it down and it doesn't leak cause the little ball blocks the hole. It is pretty neat. Shalom. {:0)

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!
