FIT KING Air Compression Recovery Boots - Dynamic Sequential Compression Massage System for Circulation Improvement & Fast Muscle Recovery - FSA HSA Approved (Medium) - Ideal for Athletes, Post-Workout Recovery & Injury Rehabilitation

I am having problems with swollen feet and lower legs, so I bought these leg sleeves. They are a bit hard to get into/on if you have flexibility issues, but it CAN be done. My husband usually helps me zip in!These sleeves have a choice of 3 different settings for compression, time settings from 20 minutes to 25 to 30, and how much pressure you want. I thought I'd try these out and I thought I could jump right in and use the "medium" pressure settings. Not a good idea! After one inflation cycle I turned the compression down! I will have to work up to the higher compression!Do these sleeves really compress? Do they help swollen legs? Is it hard to use?Yes, they really compress. Yes, they help swollen legs by applying pressure in stages up your legs to work the blood back up your legs. Is it hard to use? No. After I get them on, I set the timer and pressure and choose the program...then I recline a bit and before you know it, I drift off to sleep. They are not uncomfortable at all. Since the machine automatically quits after the time you've specified, you can relax and sleep if you want-it will do what you want and then shut itself off.This seems a quality unit.Recommendation: Be aware of the size of the sleeves themselves. Get the sleeves that will fit comfortably around your legs or you won't be able to zip them shut. My leg sleeves are a bit too long, but I had to get the size that would fit the circumference of my leg--so they are a bit long. They still work well!
