Bioflect® Compression Arm Sleeves Wrap with Bioactive Fibers and Raised Massaging Knit - for Support and Comfort

A friend of mine handed down all of her compression garments after her plastic surgery, knowing I would be undergoing some of the same procedures. Initially, I was skeptical about trying them on since she is a smaller size than me (S/M), while I usually wear a large or extra-large. However, after growing tired of wrapping my arms in bandages with Velcro, I was determined to give the garment a try.Let me tell you—it was a total game changer. The amount of compression it provided, along with how it perfectly compressed even the incisions in my armpit, was invaluable. At first, I wasn't sure if I was wearing it correctly. There was a lot of trial and error; I think the first time I wore it, I had it inside out, with the smooth part on the inside and the side with the raised bumps on the outside. During those crucial weeks 2-4 post-arm lift/brachioplasty, this was very helpful because there was no tugging to get into the sleeves—it slid right into place.The downside of having the smooth side against my skin was that I struggled to move freely in any long-sleeved clothing. Imagine the bumpy side clinging to soft fabrics. This was only temporary because eventually, I got brave enough to wear it with the bumpy side against my skin. Now, depending on how swollen I am, I decide which side will go against my skin. This just goes to show how versatile this garment can be.One thing I will also mention is that if it feels uncomfortable on your shoulders, you probably have it upside down. It took me a while to learn how to wear it correctly since there are no tags on it. I quickly had to do a deep search to find out who made this wonderful garment because, unfortunately, my friend couldn't remember where she got it from. One day, in my Amazon suggestions, I saw compression sleeves from Bioflect. Immediately, due to the scaly-looking pattern, I knew this was it. I purchased it in black so I could have a backup while one was being washed.If you've had brachioplasty, get this!!

Great compression sleeve, does the job, does not fall off, functions well, make sure you get the right size for your body. It’s reasonably priced and it’s made with high quality Material.

This has good compression and the back works like a sling for nice shoulder support.Does the job well but the fabric is kind of scratchy and digs a little around the front of the armpit.

The compressions itself is good but this cuts into your arm pits and migrates up your back sitting at your neck driving you crazy. I wish they made individual sleeves. Hard to get on alone especially after surgery

These work well from the compression standpoint. I would say the product is durable and high quality.I personally cannot stand the “waffle” texture of this fabric. I thought it would be smoother like spandex, but it left itchy dents all over my arms. Had to return.

I tried many other compression sleeves before finding these and THESE ARE IT!!These are made of a nice thick quality material. They give the perfect amount of compression the entire length of my arms, as they have graduated knit that leaves more room for the bicep/shoulder areas. ALL the other sleeves I tried rolled down as I moved around, because these are connected across the back, that problem has been completely eliminated!! I can even comfortably sleep in these (and I'm a VERY active sleeper).The fit is perfect, and gives plenty of length to cover the full length of the arms. I was worried that they would ride up from the wrist, but there is more than enough coverage. I am not constantly tugging on any part of these.I read many reviews complaining of an unpleasant odor, but I wore mine straight from the package and never smelled anything at all.A true 5 star item for me!

Unfortunately useless, falls off, super uncomfortable

I purchased this to use during the day for pain relief from a frozen shoulder. My expectations were that the compression would help relieve some pain.This exceeded my expectations! It brought the ‘heat’ and I was actually able to move around and be more active while using it. My arm didn’t tire out as fast.I used this in conjunction with the Relax Sauna ’Kittie’, the tabletop version. I am still in shock how well this works! Definitely recommend for recovery and support!
