Copper Fit

I just bought the Copper Fit knee sleeve. On the package it states it's 86% copper. On the knee sleeve it states it's 4% copper with other fibers. I bought the sleeve so my knee wouldn't hurt so much when I walk up a 2 mile hill for work. I really don't feel much compression from the sleeve. Support hose has more compression.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great product for the most part. The fit is great and I can feel the compression on my knee. My biggest complaint is that it keeps rolling down my leg. The should have used something more than just silicon for grip and once that starts to roll its absolutely useless and you have to fix it every time it happens.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered the back brace about 2 months ago. I have problems with my back and will try almost anything but medicine. I did not hear anything from them except they were on backorder. Why would they take your order if they did not have them in stock? Or at least give you the opportunity to decide if you wanted to wait. I looked for a phone #, but could not find one. I would NOT order this again, nor recommend it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looks nice, felt nice, but second time wearing and the fabric is tearing where the Velcro is sewn on. Luckily, I didn't get the shaft on the shipping, mine was free and I'm not paying to have a replacement sent. I will call Visa and dispute this problem, if timely and proper solution not is found.

I had a very severe injury to my lower back L4 &5 in July 2010. I experience considerable pain even with pain medication. I am a female of 67 years old. I purchased the Copper Fit Back brace. I do understand frustration of a number of purchases because it took over two months to receive my order. I have an area just to right side of spine that breaks out in Shingles every once in awhile. I had not had a breakout (rash) for almost two years. I started wearing the brace and found wearing problems so stopped wearing after two days. Within a couple of days, I started breaking out in the shingles rash in same area which had been underneath the brace.

I cannot prove there is a correlation, so as much as I am not looking forward to this, I am going to try brace again now that shingles rash has healed up. I wondered if any others had side effects similar to this. You cannot believe how much I hope this actually does work, but am cautious for right now.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wife says it works for her. Placebo effect? I would not waste my money on this product. Buy an Ace bandage, and set the compression to what works for you personally. Just saying.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This Copper Fit brace is just a skimpy belt of no value what so ever to your back. It's too small to be effective, and the other benefits are zero. A total waste of money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The knee brace is amazing, the arm brace stays exactly where you put it (awesome). But I bought 4 pairs of socks and they all became unstitched at the toe. I am extremely disappointed in the quality in which they are made. They feel great but I only got three wears out of each pair before they begin to unravel at the stitching point.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have had a back injury many years ago. I decided to try this and see. It helped some. But ones you buy in the drug store works much better. Maybe for someone who has a sprain, it may do something. Also got the knee brace. Did nothing except the top of it was so tight that it hurt. Useless.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was expecting a tight snug Velcro fit and at least some back support. This doesn't offer any back support and only provides warmth and sweating. If you want back support and some back pain relief don't purchase this item. You get what you pay for. If you want real back support you will need to pay for it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was going to give this product three-star rating, but after reviewing my back and stomach, I've degraded to two stars.

The reason being is that my husband loves and swears by the product. He let me borrow it a few days ago, and I wore it over my clothing for two to three hours. It seemed to help support my back some. A few days later, I started getting a rash on the left side of my back, and it has now proceeded to the front of my stomach. I am now taking a massive allergy medication to stop the reaction. I am now assuming that I am allergic to nickel.

There are thousands of people that have reactions to nickel. Copper Fit really needs to take some action about this so that people with allergies to metals do not purchase this product.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
