Knee Brace for Large Legs

I love this brace. After buying two other braces supposedly for larger legs (that cut into my leg and/or had straps rubbing and chafing on the back side of my knee), I ordered this one to try. I love it. It takes a bit of a tug to get it in place, so if you have weak hands or arms it might not be for you. But if grip isn't an issue, this is amazing. My knee feels supported and stabilized. It's comfortable to extend my leg, bend my leg, walk, do stairs, etc. My thighs are pretty squishy, so I have a very slight muffin top, so to speak, when I walk. But, that's honestly to be expected based on my body type. I'm 5'10" and wear a size 22 typically in jeans, and the 3x fits just right. Based on the measurements I took, though, I'd say add an extra inch to your measurements to be on the safe side, because I was in the middle of the range and I'm not sure it would be as comfortable if I had another inch to work around. ANYWAY - great brace, glad I found it, definitely worth the price.

I need a knee replacement, but I’m not old enough for one quite yet, so we’re holding off until I absolutely can’t walk anymore. On top of that, I recently tore my lateral meniscus very badly and I’m waiting for whatever can be done to help with my knee locking and hurting. I needed some support for long walks (i.e. through an airport or sometimes at work) to reduce swelling and to help ease the discomfort. My problem with any brace is that my thigh is much thicker than my calf. I also hate when I get a sleeve type brace and I get thigh “muffin top” because it’s just a tad tight to hold it up. I saw this sleeve type brace with adjustment straps and thought it might be perfect. I measured my thigh as directed and it was 27.5”. So I got the 3XL. My calf was a bit below the measurement for a 3XL, but I banked on being able to adjust it tight enough. The brace fits just perfect on my thigh. It’s a tad loose at the very top so that I don’t get that “muffin top” and I can adjust the strap to hold it up at the top. It’s quite loose on the bottom, but the strap can be adjusted to hold it tight. It provides just enough support to ease the pain and keep my knee aligned well, but I can still bend my knee as needed. I wore it under my pants the first time and realized the neoprene does not breath well and holds heat in, which caused a heat rash. So I now wear it on top of pants, I don’t have an issue with it slipping down as long as I tighten the straps adequately. I’ve worn it many times over the last few weeks and it only shows some slight wear around the knee cap hole from me tugging on it to get it positioned right. Out of ten various braces I’ve tried, this one is my favorite, despite how it holds in heat and isn’t breathable. I will get another when this one wears out.

recently purchased the BraceAbility Bariatric Knee Brace for Large Legs, and overall, I’m very happy with the results. Pros: • The brace fits comfortably around larger thighs and calves without cutting off circulation. • It provides excellent support and stability — I felt the difference almost immediately when walking or standing for long periods. • Most importantly, it significantly reduces pain in my knee, especially the pressure and discomfort from osteoarthritis. Cons: • It does make the leg feel warm right away, which can be uncomfortable at first, especially in hot weather. Even with that minor drawback, the warmth is a small trade-off for how much pain relief and support it gives. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone with larger legs who needs real knee support and wants to move with less pain.

SIZE NOT TRUE, HOT to wear SMALLER than advertisised, sticks from perspiration. get Dr. Brace, much better

I have two major problems with this brace - the first is that against bare skin, the brace will slide down my leg if I move while wearing it - solvable by wearing over leggings if not for the second problem - the calf measurements are very close to the thigh measurements (making it too big for the calf) so when I try to tighten the neoprene with the velcro strap it bunches up not really providing much support and contributes to the brace not staying on my leg with movement. I tried folding the neoprene to make a pleat in order to cinch it up, but the thickness of the material doesn't facilitate maintaining the fold. The material seems durable and it was easy to slip on, but the fit prevents any quality support and is therefore useless as a brace.

It is very comfortable. I wore it all day. It made my knee feel much more stable and I was able to walk without pain or limping. It’s very well made and is thick, but it is very light. It was money well spent.

I ordered XL based on the sizing chart provided by the seller and it was way too small. I pulled it on (didn't need to use the velcro starps to tighten) and hoped it wouldn't cut off the circulation to my foot. I took a few steps around the room and the brace inched down right away. I tried tightening the straps, but doing so made the brace too uncomfortable. Fortunately they allow returns, which I did. Then I re-oredered 2XL (next size up) thinking that would work. 2XL was also too small, and even felt a bit smaller. I still had the XL so I compared them to each other. They were both THE SAME size at top an bottom leg openings! I am sending the 2XL back as well. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I won't order this brand again.

La talla es correcta. Muy buenos materiales. Cómoda de usar.

Love this brace, I have large legs and have never been able to get a brace or sleeve that didn’t hurt, roll down and not fit properly so I wasn’t too confident. I received it yesterday morning I put it on immediately and was so surprised it fit I wore it all day with no problems it lessened the pain right away ☺️this morning I got up forgetting about my knee and was able to get out of bed easily 🩷my sister asked today out of 10 how bad was my knee I said 15 she said after the brace I said 5 it is feeling a lot better today and I am confident I will be back to normal soon. I have been told by doctors I need a knee replacement 😢I don’t want one 😂 I am 67 years old I highly recommend this company Thank you ☺️

TRES BIEN

I have dislocated my kneecap and was having difficulty walking. I had a lot of swelling around my knee and this was the only one I found that provided measurements for sizing. I received it and have been wearing it for 4 days now and I have to say it has really helped with the feeling of security when I am walking, yet is is pliable enough for when I am sitting. I did not find any of the bunching or sliding some reviewers are mentioning. I would definitely recommend this brace!
