I sprained my ankle last March (2010) and it has never healed completely--probably because I am a middle-aged woman. After the initial injury, I tried various off-brand bandages in an attempt to save money. But essentially, I lost money, for the products were as cheaply made as their price should have indicated. Since I refused to stop exercising or running despite the discomfort, I had to find a bandage that worked.
I finally bought an Ace elastic bandage and found that the purchase was well worth it. The Ace product was exceptionally supportive, alleviating most, if not all, the pain. It kept its elasticity for a considerable amount of time as well.
I will never buy another brand of elastic bandage again--Ace is the brand for me.
Works fantastic for active children/grandchildren who do not want to sit still while you wrap their wrist or ankle. Since playing outdoors means frequent bandage changes, the ACE bandage is wonderful for quick changes. Plus they stay put and do not pinch or bind.
I purchased this elastic bandage for my daughter a few days ago, and it really helps her feel protected. This product allowed her to continue playing soccer since it offered support to her ankles and prevented it from further injury.
When I hurt my wrist I discovered that all the elastic bandages in the house were worn out. So I went to the store and compared the Ace bandage to the store brand. I took them out of their boxes, looked at the clips, and conducted a pull test. I found the Ace product to be superior in all ways. After using the bandage on my wrist it got washed and I've used it on a couple more occasions. So it lasts.
Ace Bandages are strong, easy to use & last years!

I've been using Ace bandages for over 20 years. They've definitely improved, especially with the EZ Clips now but they've always worked for me. They're strong, last a long time even if you get them wet. I've had my last 2 at least 5-10 years+. They're easy to use on yourself or others and great to have in a first aid kit. I have one at home & carry one in my vehicle first aid kit just in case! They're also cheap enough to have 2 or more and they are great support for ankles, wrists, arms, etc.
I use an Ace bandage daily on my knee. I have a blown ACL and my knee aches 24/7. My Dr. has prescribed lidoderm patches to help relieve the throbbing that occurs every day. I need the Ace bandage to keep the patches in place. I find that the Ace bandages hold up for a REALLY long time. They maintain their stretch and hold even with daily wear. I also wash mine regularly. I put mine in a hand wash bag to protect it and line dry. The only thing is I would take my rating down for is because of the clips. I find that they do not always stay on. In fact I did manage to lose one. I am a big fan of the bandages with velcro although I think they may have been discontinued.
I purchased the product to wrap a strained hamstring. When applying the wrap I found the clips to be cheaply made. One broke before I could get my leg wrapped. The wrap wasn't as secure as I though it should be. A new clip should be designed to hold the wrap in place better.
