MUELLERThigh Sleeve, for Men and Women, Black

Good for thigh strains.

Having suffered previous hamstring injuries, I can tell you that this is the real deal, every bit comparable to the thigh sleeves given me by my orthopedic doctor. I wore it all day, and it stayed up. I was able to go for a short (.5 mile) and careful walk, despite my hamstring injury. It seems to help when climbing stairs.My ONLY complaint is the sizing. I measured my thigh at the middle while standing (your leg will expand a little while standing) and mid-thigh measured just under 19 inches. The small size is slightly more tight than "moderate" especially just above my knee. I may order a Medium and compare them. I recommend ordering one size up. Specifically, if your thigh measures 18.5" or more, order a Medium. For reference, I am a regular cyclist (45 miles, 3-4 times per week) so my thighs are fairly solid and don't compress easily. But for the sizing issue, I would rate this 5 stars.

I have a rash on my inner thighs that comes from my skin rubbing against itself while walking. I'm fine on short walks, but anytime I try to exercise or go on extended walks it becomes painful. I bought two of these and put them on. It's a bit tricky getting it all situated, but it works. The sleeves rub against each other and I don't feel any pain.Highly recommended.If you are getting these for the same reason, I recommend you get two. I've tried it with just one, and the other thigh will still become sensitive and painful since it still rubs against the sleeve. Covering both legs protects the skin.

Beware some sizes are not returnable. Size large is returnable, but size XL is not. the Mueller thigh sleeve did not provide much compression for me in either size large or XL. I set up a return for the large size, but when I tried to return the XL size I found it it was not returnable. I was allowed to exchange, but the Medium was not available to try. Customer service was very helpful and a credit was processed to my account.

These work great - I've tried buying Velcro-based thigh wraps before, but they always fall down, and need constant re-adjustment. These stay in place and I don't have to think about it. I bought one of these, and liked it so bought another one. I use these for playing tennis - don't wear them all the time - just when I get a tweak in my hamstring, or on colder days. For reference, I bought a large size, and my thighs measure 24 inches at the top, and about 20 inches at the bottom of the wrap. I've had the first one I bought for 3 years now, and still works fine.

I strained my hamstring a few months ago, and although the MRI didn't show anything, I was still having pain over a month later. Deadlifts (how I injured it in the first place) were irritating it quite a bit, so I got this to see if keeping it warm might help. It's not tight enough for compression, but tight enough to stay on. I wear it during my warmups, and then take it off on my work sets so it doesn't get in the way. I've had a lot less pain using the sleeve, and will continue using it until I feel like I'm 100% healed (which at this rate may be never.)

I tried a couple different ones and this is the ONLY one that worked. my thigh is a little thicker than average but nothing out of control. some of the other ones would not go on at all. and the one with the waste strap SUCKED, it was just way too much material. This one worked great. Its designed to fit tight, and in super hot humid weather it took a bit of effort to get it in place, since it would stick to my skin. but it stayed put well and gave just enough support for my groin after a recent pull. I did find I had to wear it UNDER my clothes and not over my clothes. I tried that once and it just slid right off.

I liked the product at first. It kept my thigh warm and helped support. this is after a hip replacement. But I put it on this morning and it won't stay up. Waste of money.
