Alien Armor Arm Compression Sleeve Provides Great Support and Is Comfortable


I was skeptical about this arm compression sleeve when I first saw it on Amazon. I have lymphadema as a result of chemotherapy for cancer. I have used "over the counter" compression sleeves before, especially when flying and I found that I could only wear them for an hour and then they became too painful to wear, especially around the elbow area. I put these sleeves on when they arrived and I was surprised about how comfortable they were. They provided good support and compression without being binding or stiff. The material that they are made of (27% Spandex & 73% Polyester) is woven in a manner that helps it slide on and off the arm. Additionally, they are not overly warm, which is an advantage in Louisiana, where I live. The material seems breathable and lightweight, yet does provide the needed support. For customers with lymphadema, I do recommend that if your arm measurements are close to the top arm measurement for the size that you get the next size. It might be too constricting for your upper arm otherwise. There is a band at the top, with a no-slip layer on it. This band is tighter than the rest of the sleeve. Overall, I would recommend this sleeve for use as a lightweight compression garment that doesn't have to be custom fit. Additionally, there are 2 sleeves in the package, so if you only need to wear one, you have a backup. They can be hand or machine washed.

You can purchase this product on Amazon.com.

I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased feedback, regardless I only recommend products that worked for me and that I think will work for my readers.
