how long do you keep your feet on this. Feels great but is it bad to leave it on too long?

I have foot and leg neruopathy. I leave my feet and then my calf on it for about 5 minutes 3 times a day on level 2. but this is a personal thing. I already have damaged nerves in my feet.

By the directions you only to use it for 15 minutes at a time. I use it longer sometimes. I love mine too!

I have had my feet on for 30-45 min. No apparent issues and great feeling feet. 2-3 times a day works for me. I am not giving medical advice mind you.

No idea. I did not keep this long. It was too strong for me. I am sure it is wonderful for a lot of people.

You can easily wear this overnight, however I took mine off at night just to give my foot a breather. I wore everyday for 4 weeks during the day and it was very comfortable...and my problem did get better. I am now fine and I do credit the sock with helping me out.

Personally, I find that 5+ hours is alright, but much after 6 1/2, 7 hours, you feel like you want to lay down. It's no LayZBoy, but it's far better than most chairs I've tried (it looks cool too). But it you try to sit down for long without a shirt and pants (I don't, home is where the pants aren't) then the fabric is not terribly comfortable.

BTW, if you want a firm feel, do not sleep on it for over 48 hrs. If you prefer a more softer feel, under 48. Give it a touch to see.

I've been wearing it for over a week and have no problems putting it off and on. You may have to stretch to take it off but so what. This is a great device.

I have never thought about time. I leave mine as long as it feels like it is helping, even after it lost it's heat or coolness. Its not tight enough to stop blood flow. What ever works for you.

Truthfully, my husband and I don't notice the plastic being uncomfortable. By the time you go down, all the wait shifts and you are hanging comfortably. I imagine if there was some padding, it would feel better, but don't think cost would justify it. Hanging 20-30 min. is too long. I believe 10 min. more often would be better. My husband's herniated disk feels so much better as he inverts 7min. or so three times a day. He can't believe how much it helps his back get stretched to feel stronger!! Hope this helps! cw

Thank you for the input, it is different from somebody else's comment. I normally leave it on after my treadmill 50 minute workout until I "cool down". So, you are saying workout, go and remove, and cool down and continue to sweat without it on?? Any reason for doing it this way??

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

I did not use mine too long...I have narrow feet, but it was too tight and eventually hurt. I had to quit wearing it. A great pair of custom made orthodics along with daily stretching of my calf muscles helped a lot.

It last a lot! I have kept it on for two days in a row. With nonstop use it can last like 10 hours

Just do what is most comfortable for you. It will depend on moisture, etc. You more or less shake, not push.

Put the thick part by the toes with the thin part facing your ankle. I put it in and tested where it felt best before sticking it down. Feel better.

It's not bad at all. It just sort of burns and tingles. I can't describe it any better than that. You leave it on for about 15 minutes or longer and then wash it off. It's not super uncomfortable by any means. Not for me, anyway. I hope this helps!

The problem with just standing there is you get all the activity in one area, it feels like nothing and your legs actually fell better and more fluid after you get done,...but you might be very sore the next day or two. You don't actually have to go through specific exercises though. What I would advise is move, do not lock your joints , and don't get lulled in to staying on too long. It may not feel like it but those small muscles are being stimulated and you can over do. I find 2-5 minutes 2-3 times a week is just about right.I have been using the vibe for years and would hate to be without it, but I do know you have to be aware of the potential for injury as well as great gains, go slow and get to know the machine, but don't stand still unless you are only going to be on for a minute or less.

Probably about three hours, I used to have my aide rub my feet before she left at 3pm but it still bothered me when I went to bed. I had broken my hip and could not rub it in again at bed time. Then when I wore my sneakers without socks, it made my feet smell. I have not used it since I arrived back in MA.
