Size J is an extra-wide size: 6.9 inches wide laid flat, on a continuous 33 foot roll, fitting a circumference of 22–32″ (56–81 cm). It is used for very large thighs, hips, a large waist and smaller trunk areas.

Finding the right size

Measure around the widest part of the area you want to cover, then check that number falls between 22–32″. Measure the body part, not the bandage, and measure while any swelling is present — that changes the figure considerably. If a dressing will sit underneath, allow for the extra bulk. Between two sizes, the smaller gives firmer support and the larger gives more room.

How it works

A tubular elastic support bandage is a seamless knitted tube. You cut the length you need and slide it on like a sleeve, so there is no tape on the skin, no clips and no pins to work loose. The knit applies even pressure right around the covered area instead of the ridges you get from wrapping, and it moves with the joint rather than restricting it.

What it is used for

Support after sprains and strains, help with swelling, holding a dressing in place without adhesive, gentle cover for soft tissue once a cast comes off, and everyday support at home. It is not a sterile wound dressing — use an appropriate dressing underneath when one is needed.

Material and care

An 80% cotton and 20% elastic knit. The open structure lets air through, so it stays comfortable through a full day rather than trapping heat. Machine washable and made to be reused; air drying is gentler on the elastic than a tumble dryer. Replace it when it no longer returns to shape.

What you get

One continuous 33 foot roll of Size J, plus a pair of bandage shears so it is usable the moment it arrives. Free shipping anywhere in the United States, dispatched within one to three business days.

Common questions

What is Size J used for?

Size J is 6.9 inches wide laid flat and fits a circumference of 22 to 32 inches. It is generally used for trunk, large thighs and the hip area. Measure around the widest part of the area you want to cover and check that number falls in the range.

Is Size J tubular bandage right for a large thigh or trunk?

Size J fits 22 to 32 inches, which covers very large thighs, hips, a large waist and smaller trunk applications. Above 32 inches, Size K fits 28 to 44 inches.

How do I know Size J is right for me?

Measure the circumference of the area, not the length. If your measurement falls inside 22 to 32 inches, this is your size. Size G fits 18 to 24 inches and Size K fits 28 to 44 inches. Between two sizes, the smaller gives firmer support and the larger gives more room.

How much do I get, and how much should I cut?

Every order is one continuous 33 foot roll, so you can cut several lengths from it. Cut a little longer than the area you want to cover so it can move with you. A pair of bandage shears is included.

Can I wash and reuse it?

Yes. It is an 80% cotton and 20% elastic knit and is machine washable. Air drying is gentler on elastic than a tumble dryer. Replace it when it no longer returns to shape.

What is the difference between Size J and Size K?

Size J fits 22 to 32 inches and suits large thighs, hips and smaller trunk areas. Size K fits 28 to 44 inches and is intended for larger trunk, abdomen and chest. They overlap between 28 and 32 inches, where J gives firmer support and K gives more room.

How much compression does it give?

We do not publish an mmHg rating for this bandage, and you should be wary of any tubular product that claims one without saying how it was measured. The pressure you get depends on the size you choose relative to the limb, how far the knit is stretched, and whether you wear one layer or two. If a clinician has specified a compression class, a fitted compression garment is the right product rather than a tubular bandage.
