Vive Thigh & Hamstring Compression Sleeve Brace for Men & Women (2 Pack) | Pain Relief Support Wrap for Sciatica, Hip Flexor, Groin, Leg, Upper Thigh - Quick Results & Sciatic Nerve Recovery (Black)

I purchased this with some trepidation - it had negative reviews like all the other thigh braces. I've been experiencing some pain along the back of my thigh from my knee to my hip - I was thinking some tendonitis. I'm in training for a trip in January, so was hoping the brace might allow me to continue training without further injury. Opening the package, I found a note saying to air it out for 8 hours before use. I ignored the warning, put the brace on and headed out for a half mile dog walk. It wasn't 100' before the brace slipped down off my thigh and wound up around my ankle. I was thinking about how I was going to package it up to send it back. Then I thought maybe I just needed to cinch it tighter. That worked!! It stayed in place. The next morning was the first real test - I put it on, cinching it tightly, and off I went for a 5 mile fast hike in the hills. The brace didn't move at all, and I felt some warmth underneath it, but experienced no pain. The brace was doing it's job!! By the way, it was perfectly comfortable with nothing underneath it. I got sweaty - it was warm. The big surprise came when I took the brace off, and it was soaked in sweat - I never knew. But my leg was fine, and I had no pain. I tried it again the next day with the same result. It's a keeper!!! In fact, I'm going out now to an event where I'll walk at least a couple miles and the brace is on. I recommend this product highly!

I have major issues with my legs. My left leg, which was my stronger leg has been affected by sciatica for well over 30yrs, developed what I can only describe as a pulled groin muscle and having fallen so much probably a pulled hamstring. I have a huge pain tolerance but my leg was getting so bad I could barely stand 5 minutes at a time and by the time I'd make it to my chair I'd be dizzy and shaking from the pain. At night, trying to turn over was met with the same agonizing pain. The pain is exhausting. Within minutes of putting the compression sleeve on, I could feel a marked difference. I was able to put weight on my leg not only in standing but walking. I wore it to sleep in and the agonizing pain no longer was there. It was a little difficult to turn over because of the material it is made of, but an easy fix to get my nightgown over it (it's silky so it's slippery). I feel more confident getting up and down, especially out of bed at night. The sleeve for the money is very good quality. The velcro is STRONG and plentiful so I have not experienced any slippage. It will take a little practice on placement and figuring out how tight you want or need. I bought 2 so I would be able to keep them fresh and clean. This truly was my last resort. It was so worth taking the chance.

I’ve tried other braces/wraps. So far this one by Vive is the best. It took me a couple of times to get how to wrap my thigh. Now, it’s a snap to wrap my thigh. I’ve washed the wrap a couple of times, no problems. I hang dry it. It’s a little bulky, but I adjusted to wearing it.

These thigh braces work well. Easy to put on. They give good support for your hamstring muscle.

I recently acquired this leg wrap to aid in my recovery from a pulled quad muscle I sustained during a social kickball league. I know I know "Kickball?!?!" but hey I have no excuse, it happened, and I'm ashamed lol. The wrap does offers some benefits, but I must admit that its performance left something to be desired. First and foremost, I discovered that applying lotion to my skin prior to wearing the wrap helped it adhere better during my walks. When worn under my boxer briefs and under my shorts, it manages to stay in place reasonably well for a substantial portion of my walk. However, I must note that even then, it is not without its flaws, as it occasionally slips down and requires readjustment, even with "stickier" skin from lotion. Unfortunately, the real challenge arises when I attempted to wear the wrap directly over my boxer briefs. In this configuration, it barely lasts a few seconds before sliding down my leg, rendering it practically useless. Simply climbing my stairs become impossible without constant readjustments. While I recognize that this leg wrap may hold value for certain individuals, personally, I find it inadequate for my needs. Considering the level of support and stability I require for my quad muscle, I believe a wrap that secures around the waist before extending down the leg would better suit my needs. This type of design would provide the much-needed assurance of staying in place during physical activity and aiding in a speedy recovery. Basically, the leg wrap has its merits and may be beneficial for some people (what do you mean "some people" 🤪). But for those seeking a more secure and reliable solution, especially during active activity, I recommend exploring alternatives that is supported by your waist.

This is an excellent brace - does everything exactly for which it was designed. I heartedly endorse it.

I ordered two thigh and hamstring supports and they work great. The velcro is very strong so I can make them as tight as I want and they stay in place. I use them while gardening and they are not bulky but give me all the support I need

While this seems like a good idea, I'm having a hard time getting this thigh brace to stay in place. It's okay if I'm sitting down and working in a chair, but when I get up to walk around, often as not, it's sliding down to my ankle. Not ideal. One doesn't want to tighten it too much, especially when sitting. It's made as a giant rectangle, which makes it reversible for either leg. However, not having any intrinsic tapering makes it difficult to get it secure on the thigh / hamstring area and have it stay there. At the same time that I ordered this brace, I also ordered a sleeve type that just pulls up and stays without having to adjust straps. That sleeve has been easier to manage, and isn't as bulky as this wrap. This one also doesn't breathe very well, creating a sweaty feeling after wearing. It does provide good support, if you can get it positioned correctly. This style isn't one that I'll be reordering.

Cumple con las expectativas de compra y apto para personas que tienen muslos grandes.

Excellent, does what it's designed to do. Help the damaged hamstring.

Arrive next day and is excellent. I had a thigh tweak and this has got me through the pain. I play tennis 6 times a week and was able to keep playing thanks to this. I have read other reviews and I find that this stays in place perfectly. The interior surface ensures good placement as indeed does the facility to adjust the tension with the two straps. I am going to buy another as a spare.

Gave instant relief for painful hamstring tear. Would be 5 stars but if wearing jeans and walk the strap slides down. Loose fitting trousers no problem.

I don't write many reviews but this product needed one. I was unsure as the reviews on similar products, including this one, were so varied. But I cannot fault it. The straps are incredibly strong and you won't have any issues of it falling it down. Extremely quick delivery too.
