LotFancy Hip Brace for Women and Men with Hot Cold Pack, Hip Ice Pack Wrap

I developed IT band syndrome following hip replacement surgery. This issue has been largely unrecognized and unreported for us. We need to ice the whole band from hip to knee, not just the knee, or just the bursa at the hip, as is known and typical for long distance runners and cyclers. This hip brace cold pack has been excellent for this, and about the only thing out there that covers the whole band. The brace is soft, covered neoprene which fits to the body. I am female, 5” 3”, and it covers all the way to the knee. There are 3 straps, one at the waist/hip level, and two on the thigh. The fit is wonderful. The ice pack fits perfectly into a well made sleeve and stays put. It is wider at the top so it can reach the piriform and glute med, which can also be a problem for us. This brought the needed relief to settle down the IT band so that I could continue my recovery. I can walk around with it on. The whole brace does seem to provide some needed stabilization which was a bonus. This could probably be done using the brace alone without the cold pack. I have only used it for a cold pack, so can’t speak to the heat. It has been great for me.

Absolutely the best to help with hip pain!! Easy to put on, great quality, and really helps with trying to get relief in a difficult area. Much recommended!!

Works way better than the one the hospital provided after my hip surgery. Stays in place while bed ridden and also while finally up and moving.

The gel pack is HEAVY. It doesn't always stay attached to the Velcro while positioning the brace in place on my hip (even brand new-probably will get worse). There is no 'pocket' to hold the pack, so the icy cold pack sits close to your skin. You need a towel or something tucked in to avoid direct contact. Adding that barrier makes it difficult to attach the straps, and I am not that large! Disappointed, but will keep it because I need it. The quality of the pack and brace are decent.

This product was very helpful after hip surgery for reducing swelling and discomfort. Excellent product. The inserts fold up nicely for placing in the freezer. It having a sleeve to put the cold packs in was great. The physical therapists reviewed what items were at home and liked this product.

Ok price and OK delivery time. It works as advertised. It gives a nice relief to the pain when used with ice.

I could not get it to set in place it just wouldn't line up around my body correctly even with help from another person..The cold/hot packet droops all the way to the bottom of the pocket that suppose to hold it. The whole experience was horrible and awkward!

It's good
