IncrediwearHip Brace – Hip Brace for Women and Men, Supports Hip Pain Relief and Aids Hip Injury Recovery, Reduces Swelling, Designed for Support, Comfort, & Mobility (Right Leg, Large)

I wanted to wait a few weeks before I wrote a review. I ordered the brace to help with support with my left hip. I have a diagnosed tear that requires surgery, ( hip replacement). I wore my brace for 10 days. During that time I played 3 hockey games. The brace did provide support where I was able to turn and make the needed stops and starts with little pain or loss of mobility. The brace fit nicely. I ordered a large, I’m 6 1 220. The brace gave me the confidence to continue to play at a high level. I would strongly recommend this brace if you are having issues with your hips.

I was trying to find a brace that would support the area of my glutes medius. Like others, I would say that while it fit my thigh and the correct measurement, it did not fit comfortably around my waist. More than that, it did not give me the support I needed for my medium hip muscle. It was easy to put on.

The sizing on this "brace" is difficult, however, 4 months out from glut. medius tear (complete), I have found it essential. It keeps the swelling down (pain, too), and makes exercises easier.For women, particularly, this needs to be sized up significantly. Would recommend taking the thigh measurement at the upper (not mid) thigh. Women have broader hips and upper thighs than men. This will not fit unless you adjust for this gender difference. The waist has elasticity and, also, the velcro itself allows for considerable adjustment at the waist/stomach. I had a laproscopic repair of a (complete) gluteus tear following an injury. Recovery takes months and swelling exacerbates the pain. If sized correctly, this hip "brace" controls swelling and decreases pain. I do not find it flimsy. As a woman, i would size up two complete sizes, even if you are at the low end of the recommended size range.My measurement indicated a size medium would fit. It was too small, so I ordered a size large. It was also too small so I ordered the XL. It is still tight and the edging at the bottom of the leg cuts. I am a woman,, 5'9" and weigh 172 pounds. Keep in mind, it is made in Tiawan where the average (medium? ) man is 5'7" & weighs 153 lbs and the average woman is 5'1" & weighs 126 lbs.. Agree with another reviewer, it is proportioned for men - not women.

This brace is not bulky. Only one strap with two Velcro’s to adjust. It thankfully allows for the bathroom without taking it off. Having some trouble with leg part pinching. After reading other reviews I ordered a size up from what the measurement suggested. Could possibly have gone up another size to make the leg more comfortable. I wore it for two days and woke up not hurting. Didn’t wear it for a day and went to bed hurting. I’ve been told I need a hip replacement but this brace seems to be helping

I have several other Incrediwear items, and they all seem to work pretty well, maybe not life changing, especially given the price, but good products. This one is a swing and a miss.The sizing on this is done by the widest part of your thigh, easy peasy. I ordered a size appropriate to my measurement, and was eagerly awaiting this as I have residual soft-tissue issues status post a hip replacement. Got it in and slipped it on, and the fit in the thigh is spot on. The problem is unless you're waify supermodel thin, there's NO WAY the waist strap is going to go around your middle.I'm not morbidly obese, but I'm a bigger guy - 6'1" and 208#. I couldn't get the strap anywhere close to fitting with the brace pulled up as directed. The only way I could just barely get the strap to connect to the very small patch of female velcro was to wear the strap around my hips, under my belly, which turns this into a thigh brace instead of a hip brace.It's a shame, had this been a workable size, I can easily see how it would be helpful for my issue.Be aware, even if you are waify and can wear this as it's designed, there's simply no way to use the restroom without pulling it pretty far down.

I was skeptical about hip braces in general. I tried a few but they were very uncomfortable and bulky with so many straps to deal with. The Incrediwear hip brace is awesome. I purchased it for the main purpose of hip pain relief when I sleep. that is the only time i have aches and pain. I did get a memory foam mattress a year ago but its really not firm enough. I work the hip brace last night and woke up with no pain or ache in my hip area. Amazing. I ordered the Large but Medium would have been the correct size for me but I did not want my thigh compressed. This worked out well for me and yet it gave me the support I need for the hip area, where I needed it. I am 5'4" and weigh between 128 and 130 lbs. The bands are adjustable so that I can tighten it as needed and still have room to grow or reduce as my weight fluctuates. This so so lightweight that it didn't bother me as I slept. Its a little price but For me its well worth the money. This can be worn under clothing, dresses, jeans and it is not bulky at all. great product.

i guess it is constructed ok, I don’t know - I consent get it on. Ordered 2 sizes larger than I need, still was 2 sizes too small. Didn’t like. Didn’t fit. Bad design. Too small.
