Not the best thing i have bought from this company.
The first time I used this it was quite nice. I have arthritis in my hip and it is bone on bone so I have a lot of pain. I thought this may help and it did the first and second time I used it. But after that the Velcro didn't hold anymore. It fits perfectly so it wasn't size its just that the Velcro isn't that good. Not something I would buy again. And its too bad because it really did help.
Not easy to figure out how it goes on as it comes flat with no instructions. Not even a photo.

does it stretch or is it adjustable like Velcro?
BEST ANSWER: It has some stretch, but doesn't stretch once you set the Velcro to the tightness you want. I found it to be very supportive when I had hip pain I wore it all day, especially when walking my dog. I wore it over my clothes.
It is adjustable, velcro, and is somewhat streachy. A little less streach than other hip supports I have had.

I can only bend hip 80 degrees, will this brace keep me from bending more than 80 degrees?
BEST ANSWER: Specifically NO. But it will give support to the hip and definitely help keep it from further injury. It is a support item and fairly comfortable. Good luck.
No it will not. This is not a brace! It just provides compression.
Does this run true to size? If I am 40" which size would be the best - does this run small or large or true to size?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. As 40" is in between two sizes we suggest to buy the size you feel will be most comfortable. The small will be tighter compared to the medium will be looser. We hope this information will be of help to you.
I think it would be helpful to know what the circumference of the thigh a person has as to whether it will be a tight fit or a loose fit. In other words how big of a thigh will fit comfortably and snuggly into a small vs. a medium.
I exchange it for a large and have not gotten it yet but to me they runs small in the leg area.
can this be used after after hip surgery?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. We suggest you ask your doctor. We hope this information will be of help to you.
