“I'll preface this with the fact that my legs are generally on the shorter side, so I often struggle with the fit of pants, leggings, etc.These compression sleeves work really well; lots of support for squats and other exercises without cutting off circulation.They fit funny on me, though, and slide down to sit mostly on my mid-to lower-thigh instead of staying fixed across the entire thing. There's also a little bunching behind my knee because of this that isn't super comfortable.So, while this may be a great product for people with longer legs, it unfortunately isn't the optimal fit for me.”
“My doctor recommended I wear medical grade compression, ideally from waist to feet, to help with Dysautonomia. Due to my doughy EDS skin and fluffy bod, I've had a really hard time finding affordable pants, thigh highs, socks, etc. that stay put and don't cause severe itching pain at their top band. I was excited to try these Copper Joe thigh sleeves as a way to piece together appropriate compression versus a full pant. Unfortunately, the quest continues.I was drawn to this set due to the lack of silicone band, as that material can irritate my skin. I've had okay luck with similar sleeves for my elbows, but the thigh form factor just doesn't work for me.My legs measure within the XL range and there is a little stretch to the material. I didn't have any trouble getting them up my leg, but they just don't sit right. The brief time these do stay up involves a bit of muffin top, which would be tolerable if they didn't inevitably roll down. Standing and movement causes the top to roll right away. Even stationary/bedridden during flares, these still creep down. This causes way too much pressure and discomfort in my leg, with radiating throbbing.The brief time these sit correctly they do feel nice, slightly warming and a small but decent amount of compression. I can't risk more circulation/pain issues with them rolling, however, so I won't be able to use these.If you don't deal with the indentable doughy EDS skin and have less fluff, these may work great for some light compression. If you have thick legs and reactive skin, I wouldn't recommend them.”
“My wife was in a bad car accident and has been slowly recovering. She fractured her femur and as she has been starting to walk again, she has increased pain in the femur or thigh section. This item helps stabilize and support her thigh and offers some pain relief for her. Thank you”
“As soon as i put these Copper Joe Compression sleeves, I felt the pain subsiding in my legs! I will say it did take a bit to get them on, but I feel that is a positive more than a negative as you want your compression items to well compress! The material feels top notch with no frays at all. I do wish that they came in a bit bigger size as there was a little bit of curling at the top but it was not uncomfortable.”
“While the point of these is to compress, I definitely suggest sizing up, despite the measurements or regular size. I unfortunately could not get these on my thighs, but the material they are made out of is fantastic and looks high quality and is soft and breathable.”
