Leggins have not been returned

By Denise , Canada

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

Buy a copper bracelet

By Jeff Williams , NW, AZ

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

Not worth it!

By Jeremy , Minnesota

If you actually have elbow pain, Tommie Copper does basically nothing. I wore two of them throughout most of the summer, and the tightness of each band has loosed up totally. I basically cannot wear them anymore like I want to.

At first it feels good but really it does not do anything for real pain and there is very little amount of copper. I cannot even smell it. Whatever pro athletes wear in games, I seriously doubt it's Tommie Copper sleeves and there is a reason why there's a retired QB who is the spokesperson, not an active team or athlete.

Exercise your forearm, wrists, fingers and bicep to improve and help strengthen the arm for less pain. Wearing this stupid thing is not going to do anything for serious constant elbow pain from my experience.

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

Paid for the items but they never got here.

By Chris , Kailua, HI

I have a Tommie Copper for my elbow and when a friend complained of his injury I told him to get one as well. I got mine in the mail in five days. Back in August, he paid an additional $6.50 to get it here in 6 to 10 business days. We have the email for proof.

It is now September 28th and it is still not here. He tried to cancel the order weeks ago. He was told no and Tommie Copper was of not much help in this situation. His arm is now worse off.

He should not have listened to me I will not recommend Tommie Copper to anyone anymore. I'm very disappointed for telling my friend to get one.

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

Knee Brace

By Donald Moran , Las Vegas, NV

My knee brace is awesome. As soon as I put it on, in no time at all, the pain in my knee had lessened, and I was walking without a limp for the first time in weeks. Thank you.

Poor customer relations.

By Rick Holt , Pennsylvania

They do not honor their online offers. Other compression items work just as well in my opinion.

Very tight

By Lily , CA

I ordered according to their size chart and it was way too tight. I have called them about their size chart and they confirmed that I just need to follow the chart to obtain the right size. There is no more stretch in them as I struggled to put the item on. I gave it a try anyway and got it on, but soon after began to feel cold. It did not feel good at all so I sent it back.

What worked for me for my aches was the LightStim that I purchased from QVC. I bought it for a shoulder and neck pain and yes, that went away with the LightStim. I used it on my plantars fasciitis​ (when I overdid it on my walks on my manual treadmill that is on a constant incline) and my recent knee pain (it hit the floor when I slipped on the wet floor). My child hurt her back in her sport and found relieve and pain was gone in 3 half hour sessions. So far it worked on different areas of pain.

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

Love your products

By Cathy , Gallatin, TN

Believe me, I'm probably one of the biggest skeptics but after my husband bought me a pair of compression leggings, I loved them and they do work. For Christmas last year, Tommie Copper items were on my list. Today I received another order with leggings, activity leggings and top. I placed my order on Monday and received today. For all the naysayers, you need to wear the product in order to see and feel the results. Sure beats a medical bill any day.

Surprise surprise

By Dave ,

Well I am a huge skeptic, and I waited until it was cheaper to try it. My wife called me and said, “It's on sale in the mall, want to try it?” I said, “Yes.”

I put it on and instantly it worked, and I have not taken it off. When I die, they can take it from me. Try now and you'll lose an appendage.

I really thought it was just crap and and marketing gimmicks, but wow was I wrong. It works for me and hopefully it will work for you.

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