Does anyone know if you can cut these patches to fit the affected area (the length of my forearm)? Thanks in advance!

You can with good kitchen cutting scissors OR if you purchase the IcyHot patched, they are easier to cut.Either way you're fine.

Measure your forearm at it's largest diameter. Not your bicep! If your between sizes, purchase the larger size. I made the mistake of buying the smaller size and it is too tight for comfort. The product is extremely well made! Hope this helps.

I would recommend placing the patch on a more smooth/flat area. For me the top of the buttocks works best.

My husband cut his arm, cut being about size of half dollar and shaped like horse shoe. It peeled skin and flesh back and I pulled skin and flesh back down and used gauze and poured celox right on wound, as much as would stay covered with gauze and wrapped with small ace bandage, all I had to hold in place until we could get to doctor. Stopped bleeding and doctor had trouble getting off to put on stera-strip. Worked great in fact he has no scar. Highly recommend carry with you all time, we have needed it twice and I do like smaller package, just right for small to medium cut.

I bought a pair thinking the same thing. There great! they cover the hole arm. from wrist up to the bottom shoulder line. I have skinny arms my self and they fit awesome. with all the moving I do, you would think they would sag or slide off. They don't! I would recommend these to anyone. I mainly got them to cover up my sleeve tattoo. They also work great when out fishing or outdoors. keeps you a little cooler, kind of like a wet suit but with the opposite effect.

I don't know. I ordered the ones that were the size of the wound. They are medicated and if you cut the package, I don't know how that would affect the part that was not immediately applied to the wound. They do work very well though.

Cant say for sure as I used my 4 wraps on my midsection (and it worked great btw...I will be repurchasing!) But I think they would work on the arms, id be willing to try. Plus depending on how big the arms are you might be able to cut one wrap in half and double the applications! Give it a shot

yes ,you can cut the length that you need. after just having a right knee reconstruction in november 2013 this works much better than an ace wrap, it stays where you put it. it does come in different sizes so you do need to get the size you need.

It may help. It's slight pressure, not firm, so you may find sleeves with more compression to be of greater help. I have a similar forearm issue and alternate between this sleeve to wear on "good" days and a thicker, tighter one when my arm is hurting.

I pray that your cancer is now in remission. The only negative thing I would say about this "wigrip" is that it stretches a bit too much. In fact, I ended up having to sew mine to reduce the size of it because it had stretched a great deal. Best!

You can but not on your own. Contact tervis for dimensions. We have done patches from family vacations but they say some are too large.

It might fit on your forearm but if you moved it up to your bicep, it will most likely cut off circulation. The elastic is very stiff.

yes you can - my husband used them successfully and cut them down to his size.

You can! However, I ran into the problem with wrist support with these. The gloves themselves were extremely snug (a size smaller wouldn't have fit at all) but the wrist wrap was still extremely loose. There's only a small amount of velcro and it's not a one size fits all kinda deal. So I wouldn't recommend them. I ended up paying a little extra money for the Everlast gel wraps and they're amazing for just hitting the bag and as a "wrap replacement" under the gloves. If you're doing small sessions they're perfect, for heavy hitting you want the support of a full wrap, that's why we still use em because nothing beats it lol. Hope this helps! You can!

I personally haven't used the weight loss patches. I see mixed reviews on them. If you find them to be helpful I would be interested in hearing your experience with them. Take care, Sharon

I also use it with the patch on top and seam down the back of my leg. Works for me!

not very large...size of a typical aspirin...I don't see the need to cut them unless you want to decrease the doseage in which case it may be simpler to order a smaller dose.
