Tommie Copper Reviews - Can It Provide You With Relief?

A friend bought a sleeve. He didn't like it and gave it to me because I have severe elbow problems. I wore it daily for 2 weeks and this is how I feel about Tommy Copper. Comparing it to medical grade compression braces, in 4 words, it is a joke.

The sleeve had been worn once by him so it could be considered new. I've worn medical grade compression garments for years. When comparing medical grade to Tommie Copper there was a world of difference.

As far as pain relief I noticed no discernable difference between what the Vetetan's Admin gave me for free and whatever my friend paid for it plus shipping. Tommie Copper seam stitching was weak and the ends frayed easily. In about 10 days the sleeve had stretched to the point of useless. The VA stuff lasts at least 6 months before that happens. The Tommie Copper sleeve offered no support and less compression in a relatively short time. My arm had a constant green tint to it. That could be my biology. The only good thing I can say about it is "It was a conversation starter." The conversation ended with "Don't waste your time or money."

Frankly, I knew that being infused with copper was probably not going to help. Does anyone remember the copper bracelets people wore for arthritis in the 70's. John Wayne always had one on. Back then there was no scientific evidence that it did anything more than turn your wrist green. Apparently that hasn't changed. There still is no evidence that copper promotes pain relief that can actually be verified beyond personal opinion. If you believe, it may work. A good attitude can work miracles.

If you believe copper will help pain, take a copper supplement. There is some evidence that it may help your hair not turn gray as fast. I have never seen any medical studies that say copper helps pain. Because it doesn't.

Buy a medical grade compression garment, die it your favorite and if you want to be a free advertisement write Tommy Copper on it. You will be money ahead.

Or buy a copper bracelet just like "The Duke" wore. It's just as useless as Tommy Copper compression garments, but at least you can melt it down and get something out of it.

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

I've had nothing but problems with this company. The service is so slow, it is the last time I ever order from them. I had to return my item because of a wrong size and had to pay $10.69 to return the leggins and now I still have not received my merchandise. I have tried and tried to contact them and still nothing. Don't ever order from these people, it's an nightmare.

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

I measured like the site said. But I found out nothing the site claimed held true. I paid for 2 day delivery that took 5. The knee sleeve was so big it slid down my leg. I complained about the delivery and was told that weekends were not included. Website did not say that. I just tossed 45.00 in the trash. I have a torn meniscus I have to have surgery on soon and was hoping for some relief until then. Useless product that was only tight on the top and bottom ends that cut off circulation, and middle where I needed compression hung loose. Awful product and customer service.

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

Terrible customer service. I emailed them 3 times and did not get a response. Finally, I had to take time off work to speak to have an online conversation with "Nicole D". Incident: I ordered a medium size compression sock in 2013 and it was a perfect fit (6-8.5) then, this time 11/2015, I ordered the same item and the size was changed by the manufacturer. The medium is now for shoe size 9-11.5. So after receiving the wrong size, "Ms. Nicole D" feels that it is my responsibility to pay for return postage. So instead of exchanging it for the right size, I decided to return it for a full refund and discontinue to make any further purchases from this company.

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

If just get a bunch of athletes to wear it and you can sell anything.

Tommie Copper is overpriced underwear. Save your money, go to Walgreens and purchase the same tight fitting spandex with the same results.

I 110% explained to the sales gal why I was buying the core band and my sizes 34" waste, 44" chest (ordered 2). I received 2 pieces of crap that I could not even put on, cheap junk with very little elastic stretch. Stay away from this Dog and Pony show and Bret Farve should be ashamed of himself. Compression works as I am wearing my 2 back braces now - fused Thoracic, Lumbar and 3 levels cervical. 100% refund - paid $87 dollars and received $73.66 back. 100% money back means 100% less my $13.34 original shipping charge. But the main thing is -it's junk quality.

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

This product does not work, it was a huge waste of money. I am so sorry I fell for their commercial. Lesson learned the hard way.

I have been using the back wrap for about a year now. I have had significant back pain for multiple reasons, for at least 25 years. I have bulging discs, pinched nerves, bone spurs, DDD, and arthritis. I also have severe muscle spasms in my back and neck. Being in the health care field for 32 years, my back has taken a beating. I now work a desk job because of the pain, which can also be tough in the back. My pain gets worse as the day goes on. I started out using the copper wrap just when the pain was starting to worsen through the day. It helped tremendously and I was shocked. It has taken me a year to figure out that I should wear it all day to try to avoid the pain. I apply it when I get to work and will move it up and down my back as the day progresses.

It has been a God send and for whatever reason it works, I am thankful. I have worked in my nurse friends to try it out, so they can have the same relief. I actually have two of them now so I can wear them on more of my painful areas at once. I would recommend them to anyone with ongoing pain or even occasional aces and pains.

This is said to be a good product. So that aside, in my own experience it is the very worst company for returns and they are nasty and unpleasant, as they send return labels from a third party, 'Stamps,' and you think it is spam mail and you ignore it and the label is wiped off in less than 24 hours. My credit card company is putting this in dispute. I do not have to pay for the items that do not fit. One was sent back and another larger size sent. So far I have not heard that they got the first one. The replacement order had included in it women socks size 11+ and the socks are a size 7. This company seems to hire the nastiest customer service people and with all the business we do this is a first for us. Thank God for the good companies in America. I will order this product from Amazon from now on.

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

Tommie copper has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Even though they have made a mistake with your order, they refuse to correct it. I will never again order their product.

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

I tried the Tommie Copper T-shirt. It did nothing for me. I left an honest review, and they refused to post it. Their response was "Our staff has read your review and unfortunately we cannot post your comments as they did not meet all of our regulatory requirements. Please resubmit your review by abiding by our writing guidelines."

My review was this, "I so badly wanted this to help me. I have numerous issues with my back (according to the guidelines I'm not allow to list them. I'm guessing because if you have the same issues, you won't buy this product after reading my review). Unfortunately, this didn't help in the least little bit. However, it is very comfortable. The length is perfectly long, so you're not yanking at it all day. Also, the fit was as expected."

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