Is this similar to compressionette and can it be used as an arm sleeve for support

This bandaging does lose its tightness after wear for a short period of time. I don't think its adequate for "compression"

No. It is a ribbed soft cotton knit. It has some stretch to it do to the ribbing but is more of a protective covering for very fragile skin. I hope this helps.

Can use as a sleeve, VERY light compression on this. I would say if you Medium to Heavy compression this is not what you are looking for. More as a sleeve for skin protection and light... Very light compression. Use to cover wounds or scars that cannot get sun or skin conditions. thank you

I purchased this item to protect machinced billet aluminum parts before anodizing. My wife works in the OR and recommended it. It's the same quality large hospitals use. Similar to a jersey knit cotton and does not provide compression.

only exceptionally light support unless you get one smaller than your arm which i do not suggest. you could cut off the toes of a tube sock if thats what you want..... :/

THere is some flexibility, it does cover your forearm a bit but not too much. I used this while I was photographing people and it was a great support. It is easy to size up and tighten as needed, hope that helps. I read a few reviews and was able to decide this was the right one for me.

I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

yea, but it sucks. it's basically a super thin crappy fabric sleeve. i havent found anything commercially avail that fits it yet. i say just buy some good fabric and make your own, or buy the fabric you want, and go to the dry cleaners and ask them to.

I'm just like you. Small, flexible and had the same issues with my shoulder. It gives wonderful support without limitations.

I have a small arm and wear a size 4 clothing and the small was still too large. It would have to be extra small for me. I hope that helps. So I would size down because it doesn't keep the compression you need.

How does the length compare to the sleeve? Could it be to keep it rigid in the event that whatever you put into it isn't?

No, will fit a standard arm, try looking for a leg cuff. You can still use it on your arm.

i would not think it would this is more of a orthepedic compression/tension support it is not a brace

These sleeves are lightweight and stretchy with limitations. I am 100 lb, 5 feet and they will fit 'comfortably' on my arm but not 'cover' my upper arm. It can only go as high as your armpit, so if that is adequate for your purposes, it could work.

Yes! You can lay your chest and arm on it. My wife just had a baby and we used it and support her from every angle. A really recommended.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

I don't recommend it. it is not elastic enough to provide good compression therapy. I returned this item. Mueller ankle brace (which I bought at Wal-Mart) is a lot better, less bulky, a lot more comfortable.

I use it with a lightweight undershirt. Post therapy you can feel where the pressure points have made an impression into skin. I believe this is sufficient to provide the appropriate amount of pressure to stimulate massage benefits (generate) and generate endorphins (possible).

Yes...the arm supports are very comfortable and wide. Pads are approx 1" non-fabric (semi-vinyl) materials.

I was in the same situation and ordered a small. It fits me really well, and I even ordered a second one. I was worried about it being too tight, but it fit fine right when I put it on my elbow. I'm female with toned but lanky arms -- but I went with this choice because I read several reviews (I believe by men) where they dropped down one or even two sizes just to get more compression and had good results. I wear the sleeve for working out, so if you're wanting to sleep in it or potentially even wear it all day, however, your choice might be different.

It is not padded. Bout i think it is not compression either. Depending on your size and anatomy you might feel it a little strectch. But it looks great and shapes very well.
