3. Sizing Guide
To ensure optimal fit and effectiveness, accurately measure your thigh circumference. Follow these steps:
- Extend your leg to a 120-degree angle.
- Locate the center of your kneecap and draw an imaginary line to the side of your knee. This will be your starting point.
- Measure the circumference of your leg 5 inches (approximately 12.7 cm) above this starting point.
Compare your measurement to the chart below to find your correct size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for a better fit.

4.1. Wearing the Knee Sleeve
To apply the POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve:
- Sit down and hold the sleeve with both hands, ensuring the top opening is facing upwards.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your POWERLIX Compression Knee Sleeve:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry completely. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and silicone strips.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The sleeve is made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex, designed for durability and breathability.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using your knee sleeve, consider the following:
- Sleeve is slipping: Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the sizing guide. The silicone gel strips should be in direct contact with your skin. Clean the sleeve regularly, as oils and sweat can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-slip feature.
- Discomfort or excessive tightness: Re-check your measurements against the sizing chart. The sleeve should provide firm compression but not restrict circulation or cause pain. If discomfort persists, you may need a larger size.
- Lack of support: Ensure the sleeve is properly positioned over your kneecap. If the sleeve feels too loose, a smaller size might be necessary to provide adequate compression.
- Skin irritation: Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Ensure the sleeve is clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
