How do you stop this from slipping off? I find that any activity, even just a gentle walk, results in the strap slipping down my leg and falling off.

I wear compression shorts or boxer briefs with the longer leg under the strap. I find the extra layer of cloth prevents it from sliding down. I also wear the strap up as high on the thigh as possible and keep it snug. I play racquetball for a couple of hours every other day and very seldom have to make adjustments. Hope this helps.

So sorry, I wish I could help, but I didn't have that issue. Mine stayed on very snug. It didn't help much, but it did stay on tightly...under my tights and over top of them as well sometimes.

Yes it does slip. Some people have told me to put a cloth around the area of your leg then put the wrap over it. This will prevent slipping. I never tried this but give it a try.

I wear the Under Armor compression shorts and that seems to lessen the slipping.

I keep this strapped to the top of my thigh and pretty tight. I usually have an ace band (a self stick one) underneath to help slipping. I can usually go a few hours before having to adjust.

I have not had the problem with the velcro groin strap, but did have it with a support that you pull up your leg like a knee support. i used a roll on adhesive strip around my leg to keep it from slipping. It was water soluble and came off easy after use. Probably could find it on Amazon or a medical store.

First, I place it next to my skin and wear all clothing over it. I strap it fairly tight and at a bit of an angle (so that it's a bit tighter at the top). I can sweat in this and even ride my horse wearing this and have never even had it shift. Perhaps my particular leg shape works well with this brace, but I love it.

I have the same issue and have resorted to moistening the wrap with water before putting it on.

Mine has been holding on quite well. However, my backup plan was going to be to use Velcro if it didn't hold. Maybe that will work for you.

I couldn't find a way so I just attached it to the strap so when it's off it wouldn't be lost and could easily place back on. Sorry if this answer doesn't help much

I've had to adjust my harness several times. My dog was able to pull one of his front legs through the front of the harness until I figured out how to adjust it. I have it tighter on front with a little more give around the chest. My dog is still growing and I've noticed the chest strap getting snug so I'm going to adjust again. Play with the tightness of the straps and see if that helps. Hopefully the harness will work for you... I've just kept adjusting til I found what works!!!

You are exactly right and that is a drawback, the only one I can think of. My laptop has little "feet" that help to hold it in place but it still slides off from time to time. I've been looking for a small piece of silicone or rubber to prevent that issue but for me it hasn't been a deal breaker; it was for my daughter though. Good luck!

I wish I could help, but we haven't been able to use ours very often. It's really difficult to get the leg straps on my dog since he can't stand to put them on. I'm still using a sling to get him outside. I hope you find a solution soon!

The only place that holds it from slipping is the ledge at the bottom. When I am sitting, I have never had an issue of it slipping off. However, if you decide to carry it without it being in the flat position, it can slide off; especially, forward since it is angled with the widest part in the back.

It should be somewhat lose but not enough to slip off without stretching. You can cut a small section out and use strong rubber adhesive.

Fernando, there are several approaches. I use a light-weight tripod. In my case the friction of the strap against the irregular sides are sufficient to keep it from slipping. This also works with my monopole. Another approach, especially with a heavier tripod, is to loop two of the legs through the strap leaving the third leg outside the strap to hold it by gravity.

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

I am STILL having trouble with it slipping off. I am going to try different methods of wrapping it. I am so sorry that I could not be of more help!

Whenever I do something active like biking and some hiking, I would use the secondary strap. That kept the backpack in its place no matter how much I was moving. To pull it to the side and use my camera, I would have to remove the secondary strap otherwise the bag would stay in place.

Also Phil, I use a prescripted pain cream and that helps mine stay right in place. So if you are not using anything like that, maybe you can try lotion on your leg first, rub it in, your leg will have the moisture on it from the lotion, then pull your sleeve on. Hope that helps with the slippage! :-)Geneva

Mine goes then stops like the belt is slipping. Tried adjusting but did no good. Any ideas? Only used three times now.

I did have trouble with the nylon strap slipping. I doubled a piece of 220 grit sand paper under the strap and then it worked perfectly.

I stand upright and pull the footlocker. The handle is in the center, so it is not a natural walk. I am 5' 11" so the footlocker tends to bump the back of my leg, so I have to splay my arm out a bit to compensate. If you are shorter it makes it easier. I have never used a strap, but it would be very easy to loop a strap through the handle.

I drilled two holes into each foot rest about half-way down and threaded some long shoe laces through. After you Velcro your shoes in, tie the shoelaces over your shoes. I don't have the slipping issue anymore.
