I want to use this for cold therapy for my knees.. Not sure if the Velcro would hold very well . Would it slip down?

It would slip if you are walking, but would stay put while sitting or lying down, without having to hold it on the spot.

It holds extremely tightly, but not sure how it would hold if you were not sitting.

It is a little big for the knee but as long as you are sitting still the Velcro should hold well.

If you're going to lay down it's fine but if you're planning to move around you'd better go with the specially designed ones for knees. It's not designed to stay wrapped around a joint area.

I wouldn't know. I didn't have the need to use any Velcro. Mine hasn't moved around at all. I love mine - it's sturdier than others I've seen on the market.

It would be marginal. I just measured mine and in a relaxed state the strap is 24 inches long including the kneepad. It will stretch but it is doubtful there would be enough Velcro overlap to hold. You might be able to use some double sided Velcro to extend the strap.

I have not had the problem with the velcro groin strap, but did have it with a support that you pull up your leg like a knee support. i used a roll on adhesive strip around my leg to keep it from slipping. It was water soluble and came off easy after use. Probably could find it on Amazon or a medical store.

Yes, it wil still work. The Velcro holds it down quite well even with 1 side down.

I tried mine on two different people and it just can't seem to stay put. I suggest you find one that has a knee insert. Like a hole where you can fit the ball of your knee in.

Yes. You just wrap it around to the desired tightness/support and attach it closed with the velcro. Its been a total life save while i have been moving :)

From my experience, these will not slide down when you run. The key is getting your lower strap above your calf and having it at the right tightness. If you do both of these things, you wont have a problem. If you have really small calves, then any knee pad you have is likely to slip down. (If you buy this product, make sure to even out the clothing underneath your lower strap before use as wrinkles and bunches of clothing under the strap can cut of blood supply and cause discomfort.

I have not used Velcro - if the TV is solid and level it just fits right on top and stays there. We have no kids though and the TV is inside a "built in" opening so it is not subject to jostling or getting bumped.

yes - it works ok for the $$. Just be sure to use the Heavy tacks to hold it in place "after" you get it where you want it using the Velcro. Velcro by itself is ok as a temp but after a few days or so you should know where it should be long term.

I think it would just barely fit that diameter. My lower thigh is about 43cm in diameter and there is only about 8cm from where the velcro would meet the edge of the brace. Meaning, it would comfortably fit to about 50cm-52cm. If you try to make it fit, it would be too tight and impede venous flow. I would look for a larger brace if I were you.

It works on my husbands knee, and the problem is the knee is slipping out to the side of his knee..It does keep it stable

These will work well for knee cap support, but the Velcro will ware out after a couple weeks of using them (I was doing some pretty vigorous activity) and it got to the point when I put them on but if I bent my knee the Velcro would not be strong enough to hold the straps down, so the braces were useless after that and I ended up buying new ones (I had two btw). So if you get this brace just be gentle with it. Hope I helped!

yes, it will wrap around you knee nice but don't walk around with it as mine fell down so I had to be sitting or laying down all the time.

Donna, I have fat knees and thighs and those that slip over the knee roll and cut off the circulation in my knee. This one stays in place for me. It has three straps that you can tighten. I wear them for teaching Aqua Zumba and they work great for me.

I haven't had that issue. Because the straps are independant, you can tighten the one at the top of the knee more, so should not slip.

I have not noticed it slip at all. I have loosened the lower strap to keep pressure at a minimum whilst still giving me the support i sought. It seems fine in terms of staying in place.
