PROBAND - Bandit - Compression Arm Band for Elbow & Forearm - Helps Relieve Pain & Swelling - for Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, Tennis Elbow and More

I was genuinely skeptical about this band, but its usefulness is undeniable: after only two days, I'm already feeling significant relief from my Golfer's Elbow pain. The main body of the band and the pads feel like great quality of materials and seem very durable. The design fits securely on the forearm, doesn't slip at all, and provides targeted pressure, but the rough feel of the included Velcro strap is definitely uncomfortable and is the only downside. They should consider a softer strap or include a small cushion. Overall, it's a very decent product that delivers on its core promise. I'm still giving it 5 stars even with the minor strap issue as it's really effective otherwise.

The best band for tennis or golfer's elbow. The unique design with harder plastic plates over supporting foam, provides great counterforce support and stability to the muscles and tendons underneath without needing to keep tightening the strap. Very effective in relieving associated pain and enabling playing hard without discomfort or additional injury. More expensive than other products, but definitely worth the cost for the benefits it provides.

Why I bought: I have been having sharp pains in my upper forearm and around elbow. After over use between video games with the kids, shrub and tree work & my work (I draw for a living) I found I could not lift anything with my right hand/ arm without a sharp pain shoot through my arm. I was on a long wait to see my doctor & didn't want to spend the large out of pocket fee for the walk-in clinic. I talked with a few people at a pharmacy. They noted my arm was swollen (which I hadn't really noticed). They guessed it could be carpal tunnel/ tennis elbow. And I needed a wrap. But they only sold hand or wrist ones. Most other bands I saw were just velcro wraps- though a friend suggested Futuro brand. When I searched it on Amazon the Frequently Bought Together sections showed the Band-it. Pros: • It reduced my pain. After a few days my swelling went down and the pain reduced. • It keeps tight, in place and is adjustable. I did not have the slipping (some of the negative reviews stated) down my arm. • I found it constructed well. I was not bothered by the design. I liked the plastic part as it helped keep the pressure. Hell, it could have been rainbow colored with puppy heads on it- as long as it works I don't care what it looks like. I didn't plan on wearing it to clubs or something. • The strap in 1 inch thick. I found it comfortable, but the plastic part did knock into things, like my art desk and computer desk. The back of velcro strap is just basic weaved fabric (no covering). I did not have an issue with it, but can see how some might find it bothersome. • Plastic part has curved foam that sits on skin and I did not have any issues with it. Cons: • Since it has the plastic parts on each side it can only conform to a basic arm shape. As some people have complained that a large arm or thin on may not fit. [Don't quote me on these measurements- I am guessing with a straight ruler] I expanded it to about 5.5" diameter and assume any arm larger than that will not fit. My forearm is about 2.75" d. give or take when swollen. If your arm is under 2.5" the plastic parts touch so it won't be much use. I placed on my other arm and the plastic touched, so it would have been useless. • I did not have the 'pinching' some reviews wrote about, but I can see how it could happen. Full arm bend can not be done without band getting in the way. • Probably not great for 'use with' activities. I was able to do some household things but found the more active I was the more I had to adjust it. I can't really see paying basketball or like with this on for a long period of time. Over all I was happy with purchase (like the majority of the other buyers) and would recommend it as a possibility for friends. Have not used it a lot (as some people have said the plastic has cracked on them). So will update if that does happen.

This product has improved my tendon issues to a point I couldn't imagine. I started wearing it all the time and now my arm feels so much better that I only wear it at the gym. Back day is the only day that still fires up my tendon a little, but I've gained so much. I was in PT even doing dry needling and bought this and haven't been back since. It's not a cure, but I am proof it works wonders.

I love this band! I bought 2 last time (in2023) because my old one was getting worn. It lasted years! The strap with the velcro is really scratchy and that would be something I would ask to get softer. However after wearing my old one for so long the strap did soften a bit. Now while the band is scratchy I can wear thin long sleeves and put the band over it and no more scratches. The excellent targeted support and fit truly does wonders for my elbow strain's and wear them off an on if it hurts-if I do too much. This band is really good pain relief! The band is not so heavy or constricting that it is bothersome. If it is hot out it gets a bit warm but nothing a quick release won't cure. This band is the best; simple and just right. It does not slip down at all. I have tried a lot of bands and this one is still best.

This arm band works great! I felt no pain or muscle pulls while playing pickleball. Better than a compression sleeve or the traditional tennis elbow arm band.

Super simple, but very good solution for the swimmers.

Avoids more strain on my injured tendon

The only thing about this band we don't like is it has neoprene foam on the inside of it which both of us which was a removable fabric so we could wash it better.

I am known not to bother posting reviews but this one! Oh my! I have been suffering from pain in my elbow for the past month and it has increasing to the point I had to leave the arm resting while using the computer mouse with left hand and consistently massaging the arm I had pain on. I researched a little bit watched a Youtube video and it convinced me about buying this one [mostly for not restricting blood circulation].. the price seemed high [it actually is for what the item cost to manufacture] but.. and here is the best part.. the instant I put this on, the pain disappeared and it has gone for the past 8 hours [of course I am not forcing with lifting weights etc.. just the 27/7 pain I had before for any movement I made that was making me crazy]. So yeah, I llllllove it and couldn't recommend it more! Happy days =^_^=
