I have had to wrap my legs because of sores on my lower legs and feet for few years and have been trying to find a velcro 6" ace type wrap bandage that was comfortable to wear all day long and stand up to washing when it gets dirty every day. I finally found it, and they come in a 6 pack or 2 pack or single. I bought the 6 pack because I am using two 6" and will probably need more when these get lost or wear out. I have had them for a while they're holding up fine no problems so far, not even the curling on the sides I get with other brands and my wound nurses are putting them on like they do all the others. If you are thinking about getting these bandages or another brand I will tell you that I had the same thoughts and I took the chance on these from other people's reviews, I'm glad I did. These have been the most comfortable, easy to use, and durable bandages that I have had in a long time. And I'm including the ones I have gotten from hospitals, rehab facilities and doctor office's. I recommend these bandages and will be ordering more from them in other sizes besides what I have already.
My boyfriend was stricken with some very serious health problems this year resulting in surgury and a two-week hospital stay and wounds that required the assistance of home care nurses. Largely due to the sad state of health insurance in this country, these nurses were supposed to have the necessary supplies to change and re-pack the wounds in his leg every day but they didn’t because apparently they just never got delivered. So I had to buy them and since the insurance would only cover the supplies for the nurses (the supplies that they never had) I had to pay out of pocket.
The head nurse recommended I order bandages from Amazon because he said they were more affordable that way, and he told me to get exactly this kind. They worked great and lasted a long time and the nurses (they sent a different person each day) were all very pleased to see that we had these on hand. My boyfriend’s leg is all better now, he’s made a full recovery but if we ever had another medical need for these bandages I would order them again in a heartbeat. They work perfectly.
These bandages are great! My 14 year old sustained a tibia, Fibula break on November 18th. After surgery he was wrapped with bandages and a walking boot. Although I thought he would be out of his walking boot sooner, he is still having to wear it. As of January 3rd he still had 8 weeks (at least) in it. Although they said he could wear a sock instead of bandages, he finds the bandages comforting because they are thicker. His old bandages had become pretty ragged so, I needed to purchase more. I found these bandages to be the most economical and prayed they would be good. My son said, “WOW! Those bandages from the hospital are like old cloth, these are DADDY MATERIAL!” Lol That is 14 year old slang talk meaning, these bandages are thick, strong, and very comfortable. Being an athletetic mother with 2 young athletes, these bandages will be my top choice from now on.
Coming from someone that’s dealing with constant knee pain from Lyme disease (and nerve damage)... I’ve been thru a few different brands of wraps (Ace included), and they ALL have the same issue...the Velcro tends to wear down the material over time. These are my favorite 6” wraps for my knees. They are long enough to make about 3 1/2 to 4 wraps around my leg, and they are a good thickness so you don’t feel like you need to overlap each wrap close together (if that makes sense).
I purchased this product after I had knee replacement surgery and needed more support than the 4" bandage I had on hand provided. The only issue I had with the bandage is that it was not as soft as another ACE bandage I had that came with clips. I like that it didn't need clips and the 6" size gave good support. I solved the softness issue with placing soft gauze over the incision once the surgical bandages were removed. The order came quickly and served the purpose nicely. I would order this again.

I sprained my knee working too hard on my exercise bike after having knee replacement surgery and needed to wrap it, on my PT's advice. I tried an Ace with the clips that fell off or stuck my skin, compression wrap for a comparative price, which is really a one-use product, a big black brace that had sharp edged Velcro that dug into my tender flesh, and thought there must be something better. Amazon to the rescue, as usual, and there I found Nexskin! It is soft on the skin, completely adjustable as to position on the leg and the tightness on the leg and so simple to close with a strip of narrow Velcro on each end. Great Value, too. I am grateful!
only issue, if you can call it one, is that material is thick/heavy and durable.....and softer/lighter(but would wear out faster, so i'm not complaining, just saying what would be ideal if there was such a thing) would wrap around curves better with out pulling tight...i like it so loose it almost falls off.
Velcro works great, and not wearing it out after a month of heavy use.
These are great. Even if at some point I will have to resew the Velcro, these are so comfortable, easy to use, and they wash well. I sleep in them. I wrap my calves as wound care with other pads underneath. These hold them in place even when I’m tossing and turning in my sleep. I ordered the 6” width and plan to order more. Much cheaper than buying the sports wrap at $5 a roll and stays on better. Highly recommended!
I severely popped a hamstring 5 weeks before a trip to the Swiss Alps. I still walk funny. These bandages held it fast and didn't slip that much. Anyone with a hamstring injury knows how much bandages want to slip down to the knee. The photo shows no sign of the bandage after climbing 1000 ft. 3000 ft climbs required a few adjustments over the course of the ascents. The bandage held my noodle muscles in place and allowed me to do much of what I had planned to do in the Alps, albeit at a much slower pace.
Bought these two wrap up my girlfriend’s slipped ribs after a mountain biking accident. They’re exactly what they should be and have helped as much as they can. They have good stretch, are comfortable, and the Velcro holds strongly. There’s not much else to tell about them. Simple product that actually works as expected.
