BLITZU Hamstring Compression Sleeve 1 Pair, Upper Leg Sleeves, Thigh, Quad & Groin Support for Men and Women, Anti-Slip Thigh Brace & Wrap for Running, Workout, Sports Recovery Black XL

When I started playing pickleball 5-6 times a week, I ran into the limits of what my body can withstand: over the last few months I had issues with tight fascia, tight muscles, tight IT band (which is also fascia). I had to take some time off and recover. I tried several compression sleeves in hope they would help, both when I played with onset of discomfort and during recovery. I have a sleeve designed for the knee which is tight, tried it, it is a tight fit but perfectly tolerable, and I found that within hours it makes the pain around the knee worse. Much worse. Probably too much pressure (on the patella?) is not necessarily good. I pulled this thigh sleeve over the knee, it sits not too tightly (not surprisingly, as sizing was for the hip), I can squeeze all my fingers under it easily, but it is not lose either, and every time I put it on, the painful feelings around the knee subside within hours! It exerts some gentle compression but not too much, and creates a feeling of warmth. I can walk in it through the day and can sleep in it. I am a tall guy with wide bones, so I was already using the largest size of knee sleeve but it was still too tight, evidently. So I use it not as intended, but in this capacity, it works wonders! It is long enough to cover the knee, and if it does not have a slightly bent in the middle shape, who cares - it is very flexible! Now, the downside is that it stretches out and becomes lose after several days, even when it is used on the knee where it is stretched less. It literally becomes wider by half an inch when folded! But I found an easy fix. You do what you are not supposed to do - wash it in hot water and dry it in a dryer (I still use medium heat, though). Then the fabric shrinks, it becomes smaller again, back to the size where it started, with no visible damage of any kind. I think it is a gentle compression combined with a warming effect that does the trick. Whatever is the component of its magic, it works for me, and I will take it!

I have an issue with a tendon in my upper thigh. I play softball 4-5 times a week. I've been using a thigh wrap that works well, but tends to slip down if I play more than about an 1hr and a half at a time. I had also tried a compression sleeve that didn't work well at all. I've been using the Blitzu sleeve for about 3 weeks and it doesn't slip at all. It also does a better job of keeping the tendon from hurting. I purchased a large. The top of my thigh is 25.6 inches.

Worked great! Held the muscles in place so that there was little or no pain!

Pulled groin muscle with pain for weeks. Limited walking and mobility. After wearing for a couple of days, compression sleeve gave me back some mobility and relieved a lot of my pain. Anti-slip strip at top keeps the sleeve high on my thigh. My groin pull and pain is in right thigh. So, I have a spare sleeve - win-win!

When it first went on it felt nice and tight. The size was perfect with just enough support. I went for a short walk and it began to slip down. I found myself pulling it up through out the day. Basically it wasn’t as helpful as I was hoping.

Great but don’t get too small. It will cut the lower blood off

This compression sleeve has been very helpful to my son’s recovery from a hamstring injury.

The sleeves were a little wider than expected. Would like to have them a little tighter
