Prevent Products, Inc Elderly Leg Skin Protector, Thin Skin Tear & Bruise Protective Geri-Sleeves for Legs - Made in USA -One Pair per Pack (XX-Large/Beige)

This is a good product - although over-priced for what you get. It is just a sleeve with a cut where the heel goes. I am allergic to tape and I have leg ulcers so I use this sock to hold the bandages in place. I sometimes use it under my compression socks but it is hard to keep the part that goes on the bottom of the foot from rolling. I always wear it at night when I don't have my compression socks on. It is cool and comfortable and stays in place pretty good. Much better than tape!! I have ordered a smaller size as they do stretch out after a few uses. Also, the swelling in my leg has gone down so the sock is fitting more loosely. I would recommend this product as a skin protector and to hold bandages in place.

I bought these "socks" for my mother. She is 76 and has very fragile skin. During her recovery from a broken hip, the bruises and tears were becoming a serious issue on her lower legs. Compression socks were either uncomfortable, too thin, or too loose. I found these when I made my search more specifically "protective." I ordered a medium. My mother wears a 4/6 in pants. She's about 5'4" and weighs 116 pounds. They look really small in the package, but they have just the right amount of stretch. As soon as she tried them on, she said she wanted two more pairs. She said she hasn't had a bump to test their effectiveness against wounds yet, but just wearing them makes her more mindful and feel safer. That's what I wanted.

need to be careful with sizing.....medium was too large but unable to afford another pair, so these just keep getting pulled back up....encourage to go for size smaller than what you think you need.....as for effectiveness, no understanding of how they work but they do... amount of bruising has diminished.

Ordered the correct size and they would not stay up making it impossible for them to offer any protection

This product is soft, light weight and comfortable but offers very little protection from scrapes and bump type injuries. The more active the person is the less protection they offer because there is no padding to protect the front of the shin area. If the intended wearer is bed or wheelchair bound, they would probably work well enough, but an ambulatory person would not receive much benefit from wearing these as they are just not thick enough to absorb impact to prevent injury from a fall or moderate contact..

My elderly mother is experiencing repeated skin tears on her legs. She could use shin guards, but they'd be cumbersome and hot during our summer months. I was looking for some sort of 'padded' leg covering for her. After brainstorming for suggestions with her OT/PT team and her visiting nurse, they highly recommended your product by name. Not only are they exactly what she needs, she actually loves her new stockings, can put them on herself, finds them comfortable, and likes that she can still wear fashionable socks with them. Your prompt processing and quick delivery had her wearing them 3 days after my talk with her health team. We couldn't be more pleased and we highly recommend your product to anyone who is in a similar situation. My parents live in an assisted living environment, and other residents have asked her about her new stockings. She's happy to share praises with them. Thank you for offering just what we needed.Have you considered making them in other colors? Just curious!

Not too tight. Provides some protection.

I am on blood thinners and my dog is constantly brushing my legs and big red blotches are constantly appearing on my legs to a point people are staring at me. After getting these I put them on and my legs are getting better. My dog even hit my leg and jumped on it my accident and it never blotched my skin. I couldn’t believe. These are miracle stockings and that’s why I am writing this review. I feel almost normal again. These are a keeper worth every penny.

I am happy with them I bought them for my mom

I have bought various ‘leg protectors’ for my mum who’s skin is very fragile and tears very easily. Before buying these I have not been able to source a pair of skin coloured, non compression, but supportive leg protectors that cover the calf and top of foot as well as shin area. My mum is so happy with these as they are so comfortable so she has ordered another 2 pairs.

Purchased for my dad to help with excessive itching on lower leg - really work well - easy to put on.

The material is very thin and in my opinion not worth the price. They may be useful for a person who is not active but in my case I need protection for my legs as I am active and need help for thin skin if I bump them. I am returning both pair immediately.
