This bandage, by far, is definitely one of the best I've ever used. I didn't think there would be so much difference, but there is. It's much, much softer, & if you've ever had to wear a bandage for even a week or 2, some of the regular ones can rub a sore spot very quickly. I especially noticed the difference, when I had this 1 in the wash & had to use the regular (newer) bandage in the interim. Well, I don't want to use those now, if I have this newer one, as it's so much softer & gentler, as well as I like the closures a bit better. So, now I'm back to buy 2 more of this one. In fact, I have a larger one of this exact same brand, as well, and it's the best one I've found for my knee. Even better than the pull up sleeves. It's so much more comfortable, & my knee is not as sore, after I have to walk around for a while. I think you'll like this. I know I do!
I like these bandages a lot (I have the 4" and the 3"). They're soft, but not flimsy, and they stay on through the day, providing protection and compression. Love the Velcro on both ends, but before you start wrapping, you have to make sure none of the Velcro touches your skin, otherwise you'll get scratched. Other than that caveat (which depends on you), they're great to use.
I was thrilled to get this bandage. The standard ace bandage is uncomfortable if you have to wear one for any length of time. This is softer, more flexible but still supportive. What I was so surprised about is.... you have the hook (velcro) closure on BOTH ends !! So.. for my wrist i did not need the full length but because it had velcro on both ends i could cut it in half and have TWO bandages. With other bandages that do not have that I would have to cut it and the other back half was of no value and just get thrown out.. So basically got 2 for the price of one so to speak. Someone gave this a one star because they said they were mislead...they thought it was the kind that stuck to itself (I don't like those because you rarely can reuse that kind for more than a few times). So I think their one star was invalid because it is clear this is with hook and loop closure (velcro). So I cannot find one thing to dislike about this bandage.
NexSkin is thicker than an ACE bandage which is just what my wrist needs. It doesn't wrinkle as much as ACE which I think is also the thickness. It offers warmth, support and protection. Makes me nervous when i have to take it off.
works just as good as the name brand “Ace bandage.” I used mine to wrap my broken ankle while wearing a boot-brace. It worked really well. Just be sure to align the second velcro patch somewhere where it won’t irritate your skin.

My husband has swelling in his leg. The doctor recommended something like this to provide some compression but also allow the swelling without restricting the blood flow. They are easy to put on and take off. Easy to clean as well (I hand wash ). My husband says that they are comfortable to wear all day long.
I suffer from edema in one leg and this was the perfect bandage to use on my foot and ankle to start the compression. I also used the NexSkin 4" bandage to go up the rest of my leg. I'm very pleased with the quality and ease of use.
These elastic bandages are the perfect length & width (3”) for wrapping up my sore knee. The material stretches nicely, the velcro works great at both ends and the bandage provides stability & good compression. Unlike sleeves that either fit or don't, these elastic bandages can be made looser or tighter just by adjusting the elastic tightness of the wrap. It also works great for wrapping a bag of ice to my knee. I’m very pleased with this well-made product, as it has met my expectations.
It has velcro on both ends. Helps getting it on yourself and it is a much different, heavier, material than other brands out there. This works very well for my needs. I have wrist problems and I probably should have gotten the two inch wide one, but I made the 3 inch one work and it will work great on ankles too.
Love the fact that you don't need those crazy little things to hold it on that can prick your finger while putting on...plus they would fall off all the time. I do, however, think these are a tiny bit too flexible and could be a drop denser to get a more supportive fit. But overall I bought two and am very happy with them.
