Gifts for Dad Mom Men Women Christmas Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Air Compression Massager with Heat for Foot, Leg, Calf, Thigh, Knee, Helpful for Vericose Veins, Muscle Fatigue, Cramps, Swelling, Edema

I just received this item and have only used it once but I really liked it. I think it will help my legs and feet after standing on them for 8 hours on the days I work. I wasn’t sure what I expected but it works like this… first, it expands on your feet and feels really good, then the leg pieces fill with air. It doesn’t massage in the traditional sense but rather fills with air, pauses for a second then fills with more air, then it releases all air after a few seconds and repeats over and over, thus the massage. Don’t wrap too tightly as the wraps need room to expand around your feet and legs. It might squeeze too tightly if you wrap too tightly. I loosened the wraps on my legs after a time or two and it was perfect. You’ll quit I,Lu and easily figure out how loose/tight to wrap the apparatus before starting it. I loved all the options of pressure and heat. Great product.

I used these for the first time this weekend, they work great, very relaxing. I have very wide calves and was worried about the fit, however they fit great, I did use the extension that was included on my left leg because it was a little puffy, but after a few minutes took it off and the fit was fine. I just plugged them in, wrapped my legs in them and watched some TV.

I purchased this product as a Christmas gift for my husband, who suffers from severe and often quite painful edema in his legs due to congestive heart failure. We didn't open it and try it for a month or so, as he wanted to consult with his Cardiologist for confirmation that it would be safe for him to use. He brought the device with him to his appointment to show his Doctor who confirmed that such devices, used in conjunction with elevating the legs, can often reduce swelling and provide relief. The first time he used it, he found that to be the case--it both substantially reduced swelling and was helpful in reducing the pain caused by the swelling. He has continued using it on a regular basis, and it continues to provide him relief. Overall, the product and its remote are easy to use, and he has found through experimentation, that the cycle which produces rapid compression moving up and down his calves provides him the most relief. The only challenges he has (and why I gave it 4 stars for "ease of use") are likely more related to his situation, and not a defect of the product itself, and are both related to actually fitting the cuffs/boots on his legs. First, it is difficult for him, and may be for others with mobility/flexibility challenges, to lean over and apply the cuffs to his legs tight enough for them to be most effective, so I assist him with putting them on. Second--and this might be due to the fact that he as HUGE calves--the "extension panels" that attach to the cuffs with Velcro are barely large enough to encircle his legs, and there is no compression delivered to the areas of his legs that are covered by them. My suggestion for possible product design upgrades would be to offer the product in a range of sizes where the air chambers providing the compression would actually encircle the entire lower leg. Other than those two, rather small issues, the product absolutely works as advertised and both he and I highly recommend that you give it a try! On a side note, recently I have been experiencing what I believe might be "restless leg syndrome" while asleep at night, which has at times woken me. Although I don't have edema, I did try using the device on myself a few times before retiring for the night, when I had been on my feet all day and my legs felt "tired". I have to say that it felt wonderful, and seemed to calm my legs and improve my sleep! So this device might also provide relief to those who's occupation requires them to stand or be on their feet all day. The device is affordable, so I say "give it a try"!

It seems to help. I am on my feet alot dealing with cargo. Have issues with my legs and feet. Seems to help.

This is amazing! I bought it for my dad, sister, and me. It is the best thing to relieve pain and help with circulation.

I got this for my parents for christmas because my father has neuropathy and my mother has varicose veins that she dislikes. i thought they might like something that they could use while sitting on the couch. My mom found it a little painful at times because of the pressure, but the heating element was really good. My dad thought it fell alright, it definitely massaged, but it wasn’t something he saw himself using often, so i ended up returning it. however they were very pleased with the gift idea, they thought it was very thoughtful. so it surely is giftable. i had to help them get the boots on because they have back problems. all in all, it works fine, could be a nice gift, just didn’t work for my family.

What a great idea and works great but Prop 65 should be all over this. The rubber hoses are already sticky and are going to migrate chemicals and be unusable in no time.

We were looking for something to help increase circulation and blood flow after workouts, ski days, or just when our legs need some extra TLC. Aging bodies don’t recover like they used to.We ordered and tried a few different versions of these compression boots. This was the one that we kept, as it was easy to use and it didn’t strangle our legs. It can adjust easily between my large legs and my wife’s smaller legs. I also prefer more pressure with a little heat. She likes less pressure with no heat. Both modes work great for us!Our only complaint is with the loud air pumps located in the controller, but it was the same with all of the units we tried. I can turn it on and throw the controller under my chair or a blanket and the noise is minimal.Thinking of buying a set for my brother and his wife to use as well. Great product! It helps us recover faster.
