My elderly Aunt was getting bed-sores from restless-legs and was rubbing her legs and feet on her sheets causing sores. She had tried everything she knew todo to stop this, but eventually tried the posies and lives them!

The soreness in my elbows got better so I didn’t really need them anymore for that. But the interesting thing is that I use my walker for getting my steps in every day because I’m partially handicapped. I have a collapsed spine from polio. Even with my collapsed spine, I still like to walk, and I think it keeps me healthy and keeps me from giving up which a lot of people would do in my position I think. I walk 6000 steps a day on average. My iPhone counts my steps for me. But my hands hurt after a while while holding onto the plastic handles on my walker. So I got the idea to put the elbow protectors over my handles and it makes a world of difference because soft and comfortable. It’s amazing what you can come up with if you just think outside the box. Lol.

They were cushy and soft and easy to put on, but were not comfortable for me.

Looking for protection for post surgical elbow fracture repair. I was worried the sleeve might be too constrictive. I’m happy to report that the helbo was both comfortable, protective, and easy to wear. I would definitely recommend this product.

My Mother in law shattered her elbow and they had to reconstruct with screws and brackets. There is a screw right at the bend of the elbow and it's just beneath the skin so it hurts her every time she rests her elbow on anything. I got her these and it was a great solution, it helps to pad the elbow enough that it protects her from the ouch each time. It's also good that it's a one piece thing because it's hard to put anything on your elbow and hold it in place with only one hand. A great purchase.

The description states "One size fits the most and fits to everyone" but note that in the title it indicates it is a large size. In truth, there are 4 sizes, so you need to choose carefully. The product itself seems to be well made and surprisingly, you can wash with bleach. Feels comfortable but a little loose.

I just received the item and it is not properly designed for its intended purpose. Therefore, it will not protect the elbow or knees if one should put pressure on either.It is so poorly designed that if you lean on a soft mattress with the elbows or knees, you'll not be protected by the less than 1 cm padding.Pros:ComfortableEasy to applyWashableCons:1. Cheaply made2. Too thin padding less than 1 cm in thickness3. Non-Functional for its intended purpose4. Does not protect from merely bending the elbow5. It does not provide enough cushion for leaning on the elbow in bed, on a soft mattress

Mother in law smashed her elbow and had it pinned and screwed back together like another review who recommended it and she loves it. She find it comfortable to wear all day and doesn’t have to worry about bumping it on something anymore. Highly recommended.

Having injured my elbow a few times, it now is somewhat exposed in that if I lean on it or put any pressure on it, my ring and pinkie finger go numb. So, fine. When I'm awake, I know better than to lean on it. But unfortunately, when I am asleep, it sometimes gets knocked or pressure on it and I wake up with a half numb hand.This is great. I can put it on at night before bed and it cushions my elbow perfectly. So far, there have been no problems with it. I don't think I would wear it outside, because it is not good looking, but it is perfect for the use I needed it for.
