I purchased this after having to return two knee supports that I purchased at the drug store and a sporting goods store. Both were size small but too large for me and would end up down around my ankle. This one is perfect, adjustable but doesn't bunch up and not very noticeable under pants. And definitely fit for a woman's body. Highly recommended, in fact, I'm going to buy more of their stuff just in case I ever need it! 5 stars The following review received 5 helpful votes out of 5 total votes: Review Date: 2008-05-27 "Wellgate for Women Gel-comfort Knee Support" This support is very well made, is more comfortable, and relieves pain better than other brands I've tried, helping me to get more exercise. Its material is soft, non-irritating, keeps the joint warm, and allows flexing of the knee when properly put on (not too tight!). My physical therapist was also impressed with its quality. If you're on the small side, or need a greater degree of support, you may need to do some tugging to obtain the correct fit, taking care to keep the flexible mesh centered over your kneecap, and it helps, I've found, to put it on with your knee straightened. Once you've put it on to achieve your best fit (and a breaking-in process takes place as well), the support can be worn all day. If you have less pain, the Wellgate for Women knee strap may be enough for you, and is a superior product as well; I've used both successfully. 5 stars The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 5 total votes: Review Date: 2008-01-17 "One size does not fit all - Too Big!" I purchased this item after reading one of the reviewers who inferred that it would be a slim fit. Not the case, I am 5, 9' and 130 lbs, this knee brace would have to wrapped around my knee 3 times to provide any kind of support. One size definitely does not fit all - waaaaay to big! 1 star The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 3 total votes: Review Date: 2008-01-02 "Wonderful" My knees hurt so bad and a friend told me about this knee brace. I was desperate for relief so I purchased it and it is wonderful. It helped me so much I purchased a second one for my other knee. I can't say enough about how good it is and how much it helped me. I also have to say I did price comparisons and Amazon's prices were the best of what I found. So all the way around I am a very satisfied customer! 5 stars The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 3 total votes: Review Date: 2008-02-28 "Comfortable, functional -- a blessing for my body!" I have patella-femoral syndrome as part of hyperlaxity ("double-jointedness"), so my kneecaps are always in pain because they are moving "off track," bending "backwards," and rubbing against other bones and grooves, thus becoming inflamed. | |
