Bracesox Blog

Osteoarthritis patients, whether your condition is due to injury or is weight-related, you may have spent considerable time researching the proper brace, only to later find that it is very uncomfortable to wear.

The neoprene components of the brace cause rashes and pull hairs. The hinges pinch your skin when transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. The Velcro causes a rash and chaffing on your unbraced leg.

Here is where you can use a Bracesox.

Bracesox are designed to be longer than standard bracing. This length is imortant to the proper function of both the brace and the undersleeve. The additional material is folded down over the top of the brace, covering the Velcro and neoprene, which aids in the prevention of chaffing of the unbraced leg. If you wear one brace on each knee, a pair of Bracesox helps to keep the Velcro on one brace from catching the Velcro on the other, which makes walking much easier.

We found a great site for plus sized bracing: braceability.com. Give them a visit to find a brace, and be sure to match it with Bracesox for the comfort. Afterall, a brace only works if you wear it. I know, I've been wearing bracing since 1980.

We look forward to becoming your partner for brace comfort soon.
