circaid Undersleeve – Leg, designed for comfort and light, convenient wear

Great leg undersleeves, very comfortable, great seller

My mom recently had total knee replacement. She is a senior with very sensitive skin and so after a tortuous first week of having compression stockings put on and taken off, she finally said no more. The pain and bruising from the compression stockings alone was enough. I had already ordered a pair of the undersleeves for legs weeks before her surgery thinking the compression stockings were likely going to cause a lot of problems for my mom. I'm so glad I had the undersleeves because we started using them instead of the compression stockings and they are much easier to use than wrapping her knee and leg with an ace bandage. She can tolerate these undersleeves because they are soft and give her very light compression and they have worked fine. No more bruising and along with the icing and elevation, the undersleeves still give her leg some support in fighting back the swelling. It also provides some protection for her sensitive skin (fibromyalgia) made worse right now from the knee replacement surgery. Decent product and easy to hand wash and dry.

I wear these under my cotton pajama pants. As a writer I sit a lot and have had a lot of problems with varicose veins. I got a pair of these to wear under the compression things, but have since had vein surgeries to help reduce the pressure. So when sitting all day, or even standing in one place for a long time, like ironing or in the kitchen for hours, I wear them...nice and light, don't walk down, don't stop my blood, and are comfortable and not itchy. LIGHT COMPRESSION is what I use them for. Or on a cold day, I wear them to keep my lower legs warm. I've bought about a half dozen pair...over time laundering in hot water and put in the dryer they loosen up, so wash by hand and air dry to keep them stretchy. And they will fit a good sized leg too!

They are a very comfortable and essential part of the Circaid compression system, even in hot weather. They are a cotton blend with a really nice amount of stretch to fit most legs. I would have given these under sleeves a five star rating if they had been hemmed at both the top and the bottom. The unfinished end tends to unravel during the wash and in the dryer. The resulting threads sometimes tangle with other items in the laundry. As a result I carefully trim any loose threads on the unfinished ends of these under sleeves before beginning the wash. Hand washing of the sleeves is effective, but considerable extra time is required to air dry them. Bottom line assessment, they are of top quality and truly with the effort.

These are the OEM undersocks that come with the Velcro lymphedema wraps. I thought I was slick by buying the equivalent ones which were half the price. They were returned the same day they arrived then these were purchased. They’re comfortable, easy to slip on, and will last a good long time. Excellent quality.

These undersleeves are sized adequately so they do the job they’re intended to do. When putting these on always make sure they’re not too high up or too low. You’ll know you have them in the right place when the amount of the undersleeve that extends above & below the Velcro Wrap is about the same. Even with the wear that is put on the material these undersleeves have extremely high durability.

I am sorry about this. The product was not what I expected. It is totally the wrong product I needed. I am sure this product is fine for its intended use.

Easy to put on and remove. Soft weave. Just what I was looking for.
