Not worth the money
Tommie Copper
I own several pieces of the Tommie Copper and each one is great! I wear the leggings and tights because of arthritis conditions. I wear the fingerless gloves and the tops because of different types of arthritis in these areas. I Love these products and I have been able to reduce tot amount of Pain Medications I used to take before my first purchases of the Tommie Copper items. They work wonderfully for me and my father is also a customer. He wears the knee sleeves, long sleeve shirts and also the fingerless gloves. As long as Tommie Copper is available we will both be satisfied customers. THANK YOU TOMMIE COPPER!

My son (58 Years old) works hard lifting, bending and squatting in his night job, he uses the compression shorts, ankle sleeve, compression shirts, and wrist sleeve, and this is no placebo effect, they really have helped to relieve the pain he has been having. He has been using them now for nearly a year and believes they are worth the money. I am 84 years old and have severe arthritis with lots of hip and back pain, I really didn't think the compression shorts would be any help but decided to give them a try. I am amazed at how much better I feel when I am wearing them. I don't know if it is the copper or the compression but something is there that greatly relieves my pain. Maybe the people who have not found Tommie Copper helpful just don't have enough pain to recognize the full benefit. I don't work for anyone except my son and I don't know anyone at Tommie Copper and I am not getting any kind of compensation for writing this. I just felt sorry when I read all the negative responses and thought someone ought to know that the Tommie Copper products Really DO help with severe pain.

Copper has absolutely zero medicinal effect on anything. If it did, we would have heard about it years ago. All of a sudden, pitches showing hokey athletes dripping with amazing new determination prove that this placebo fraud has instilled gobs of new energy, HA!!! Sports minded imbeciles really fall for any kind of sports-related fanaticism. The stupidity is so laughable and unbelievable. It's amazing. Just put these jokers on camera and they get spontaneous orgasms. Jiggling some muscle for a second on media turns them into virtual celebrities. This is the funniest new scam in ages. How stupid can you get?!!! Who funds this crap? People actually buy into this? Whatever happened to brains? I just can't believe this is actually accepted as legitimate.
Sceptic... It actually works.
Placebo? Or........?
My issue? is a partially torn right ACL in a knee already beset with mostly-missing-meniscus Arthritis (5 big arthroscopies), and getting worse. "No pain?..." Oh you bet I ordered. On any chance of relief. (Even as I write, the pain today is making me damned worried and whiny). I put the (dark grey) knee sleeve on and felt?.....something.
Hmm. Slight, but something. And that's better than nothing. Boy, I'll take it. Nothing as dramatic as the infomercial testimonials, but so what? Repeat after me, O' ye hurters: 'Something is better than nothing.' The source of the relief is moot. I reason it this way. If nothing else, the sleeve, slight and disappearingly comfy as it is, keeps the joint a little warmer. And, at 25 dollars a piece (I bought two items, to get the Free Shipping), it's only a little costlier than the Drugstore appliances you're typically offered; those being nowhere near as nice to wear, and far worse to wash. Add to that any real copper analgesia, and the Placebo factor, and this is a no-brainer for Pain Sufferers.
Heads-Up: The elastic band may irritate the skin a little at first, and/or cause a bit of tourniquet-style swelling (as blood vessels get captured), but the hosiery material loosens a tad over time, like the mystery, and is worth the experiment. I reordered last week (new colors), so some part of me, judging from my panic when I couldn't find my old one, is clearly convinced. And that part of me, whatever the route through my mind and my wallet, is my Knee.

I have had two back surgeries in the last 4 years, but still have an unidentified pain in hip. Ordered Tommie Copper ladies shorts and the first time I put them on, the pain was gone. I wear them everyday and I have returned to my normal life style, without limping. I have two friends who are now wearing them due to my recommendation and they have had the same results.
Thank you Tommie Copper. Will be ordering another pair and possibly the gloves for my arthritic thumb.

I usually don't write back to reviews but I thought I might respond. I'm sorry that you are not getting any relief from this product. A few things to ask, did you purchase the correct size? And did you try the longer version of the knee product? When I first started using them a few years ago they only had the one size, but after my writing the company about how a longer version would be more helpful to taller people or people who need more support. I'm not saying they did it because of me but it makes sense that a longer version would also help more people who need it. So I would suggest trying the longer one and make sure you measure correctly for the size. Being someone who has chronic pain from 8 lower back surgeries and 3 knee surgeries and who has to rely on pain Meds to live, I have been able to tell a difference in how my knee feels from wearing it and not wearing it. I highly recommend following the washing directions since mine has been found in the dryer several times. The lower elastic is still good but the upper isn't and I find I have to readjust all the time. This is due to my own mistakes though and do not blame the product. Also, I have found that it is not a one time last forever product, your car tires don't last forever. I'm not some high and mighty person who believes some infomercial, but I do think that a little relief is better than none. I have refered many many people to these products and also have given them as gifts. I would say 98% of everyone I talk to have had a noticeable relief from using them. Anyway, use the 30 day guarantee and try the longer version. I hope you find that it helps you. Thanks for listening, Kirk
Thanks Kirk, I hope you are not setting us up. I will go out on a limb and try this product. Look for my review in about 2months. Andrew Rose
Kirk. Are you an employee of Tommy Copper or have you received compensation for posting this comment?
I am not an employee. I wear Tommy Copper sleeves on both knees which have partially torn patella tendons and arthritis. I golf 3-4 times a week and used to limp home in pain.
Now I can play pain free. Can't wear them 24/7, so I know they're working, because when they're off, the pain isn't ...
FIRST EVER REVIEW
I woke up one night make usual trip to the bathroom, ans soon as I put weight down I heard popping sound and next felt a joint of deep pain in my knee ! Sound familiar- well if it doesn't chances are likely that it will happen. I fall in the 50% of us that are overweight-over 50 and over used (repetitive joint) joints. MRI results (for me such a fun time, I suffer from severe claustrophobia. I have an issue with feeling like a stuffed sausage in tubing........'so I suck it up, with a little help from my friends'! Results are in - yippeeeeee' - torn and frayed meniscus, severe degenerative OA under knee cap. And a few other items I couldn't spell.......OK, now what. It is 6 weeks later, my knee HURTS. Was given visits for PT. OK, maybe it will help. Maybe it won't be like last time? My therapist was wonderful. She explained - this is not going to go away without surgery, and you are young for surgery. I also fall into the unemployed, no insurance bracket. Can we have another Yippeeee. She explains I need a knee replacement[, but with eyes that say, we both know that is not going to happen any time soon........So she gives me fluff fluff and heat, for 30 minutes 2 times a week.She is my hero until I drive home. DRIVE being the operative word. One late night I have decided to indulge in a pity party for, myself, and I? And yes I run across Montel. Now this man inspires me. I just had seen him on Dr. OZ baring his soul about hid daughter. She has just been diagnosed with Cancer. I immediately feel my pity party crumble. (y) This program I caught was about a Man named Tommie Copper and his story. I watched program, I do my sue diligence and check it twice. There just might just be something here! I am also broke..........so I borrow the money and I order. When I slid it on I said to myself: "Self, there is no way this is going to do anything!" But I stuck with it, and slept with it on. The next morning I do not have usual stabbing pain that greets me in the morning!) I feel it and swear it feel like it is generating heart? So now a few months later and I had to right a referral because this stuff works!!!!! If you have been thinking about it, listen to me: "Try it out". It really does bring relief. Some have complete recovery, some have a little relief. But no one I have personally I have recommended it to have said it works!
Thanks Tommie from Tampa, Fl.
Uh....Tommie? as in Tommie Copper?

Poor shipping and customer support
Great
trying to find out if this is in Canada....
Ankle relief
Itchy
some people are allergic to latex thus the red itchy ring
So happy I read this , I have a latex allergy....guess I am not ordering, so sad ;(
I had the same problem - and they sent me a pair without the latex band -
so you can order it without the latex as an option - and they seem to work
well for me without the latex
Thanks for these two comments. I have a problem with some skin allergies and was trying to decide if I needed to purchase the latex-free sleeve or not. Now I will.
Golf elbow and slightly torn bicep
I had wore in the past a elbow strap with gel to cushion the pain playing golf.
Tried the Tommy Copper Elbow Compression Sleeve hoping it would be better than the elbow strap.
I could not believe no pain.
Hit my Driver and irons hard(which I could not do with the strap without pain).
It was like I have no Golf elbow or mild tear in the bicep.
Ordered 2 more of the Elbow Compression Sleeve.
Only thing I have notice.
When I take the Elbow Compression Sleeve off, my arm seems to be numb for about 5 minutes.
Have no idea why.
Highly recommend.
Thanks

Poor quality
I think this guy is just an old grouch that can't be pleased. Instead of complaining why not just send them back, to be replaced, or money back. They have a return policy. Did u even try the other products? I think you're just beyond being pleased. Just return the other products, if they have read u're

Wow Jane......he got a rotten product, and your advice...NO, your DEMAND...is that he shut up and send it back in the hope that the replacement is made of different material and to a different standard? Sheesh....sounds reasonable to ME!!!
I have a pretty high tolerance to "oops"es...and I don't think THIS is one of them.
Just curious...how many times do you believe he should order, wait, receive, return, and wait again for a product he obviously needs for PAIN control....all the while the company has his money firmly sewed up (with better thread, I suspect) in their own pockets?
Jane, I for one am glad he spoke up and made his review. I am in serious pain every day and I don't really need the extra hassle of paying for a product that I am going to have to keep returning because of bad materials. If his fell apart just putting them on who's to say that mine wouldn't last just long enough for the warranty to wear off and then fall apart also ? That's what these reviews are for is to help people make a wise buying decision.
Tommie Copper Compression sleeves
Montel didn't do anything,... let alone design it.
Compression products have been around for decades,...they mimic the vitality of our youth, before everything, especially blood vessels started to droop, sag, harden, and tear. Just another concept that's been taken one step further from taping, Precut "KT tape in pretty colors, etc.
Because Montel put the word out there about these Tommie Cooper products, he should be thanked. I pretty sure this is why he was thanked in the comment above. ......Thanks Montel and Tommie!
it obvious this individual does not know what hamstrings are! How do you remove someones leg muscle
Since the hamstrings are necessary for walking, I really think this person is full of it! And to say someone did the Boston Marathon without hamstrings??? Are you kidding me????
Probably meniscusssesssss.
LOL, dude are you trying to make us laugh or just have no idea about physiological makeup of the human body. Come on Son, what next he had his spine removed and the put the Tommy Copper Vneck on and swam the Gulf of Mexico. Unless your friend is an Alien that is....Thanks for the great laugh as that had me in stitches.
That review is enough to make people believe these reviews are perpetuating a scam. Hamstrings removed??? Boston marathon???? lol
total skeptic amazed
i have had this band for some time now, maybe i need a new one and in a smaller size
it does wonders for my knee after having scope surgery a few years back.
Tendonitis in My Ankle
You ordered the wrong size. It is a COMPRESSION GARMENT
I totally agree with Chaz. Tendon, send it back and get the right size, LOL.

Wondering
Ditto what "Wondering" said about those having success with the product getting upset with those who are not. There are many factors not considered. The injurys may be totally different. Maybe the product may fit different...etc.. It seems more logical that those who did NOT have success with the product would be upset with those who did. However, that would not solve anything either. Let's just get along.
Looking through the reviews the first one that I saw listing only one star the person went on to explain how loose-fitting it was. It occurred to me that the person may not have read the fitting instructions and may have had better assistance with a tighter fitting product by the same company. It gets frustrating for people to see someone complain about a product when it is a complaint about price or when it looks like the person did not shop properly (IMHO). I think that's what you're seeing when people get frustrated with certain negative reviews.
Kym, I don't think that is what was being said at all. When someone tries a product and it works well for them, they many cannot accept that it doesn't work for everyone. They have to defend their decision to purchase rather than allowing all to have their say. It may not have been a fitting issues, a price issue, etc. We all have different body chemisteries and it simply may not have worked. That is why there are reviews. Everyone can give their experience to allow others the opportunity to do the same.
Its going to be interesting to see how a person with a TRUE inflammatory disease feels with these products. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for about 11 years and it is HORRIBLE, the pain is horrible, living a life with it is a serious of fake smiles, fake feeling ok to go out to dinner. Deciding if I want to bother someone with my wheelchair or try to make due with my walker. I have had one knee replaced so far (not fun, but it does work, but scared I have overworked it) but the other one is so bad I think I am hurting bad on both knees just as much again. I am going to be ordering the products starting with knees and maybe hips. Then keep reporting back and let people REALLY KNOW what is up. If this stuff just works for the normal average everyday business man who has worked in an office most of the time, and been able to properly exercise 3x a week and keep in the right shape, then this will work fabulously for his run of the mill arthritis.
Now with a gal like me who worked physically hard, and played physically hard where I broke some bones, injured some knees then got premature severe disc degeneration, bone spurs, rheumatoid arthritis, along with premature severe osteo arthritis at a young age, stenosis, one fusion at C4-5 so far, with seveal more in my middle back at bra line I have not gotten done. Of course being on steroids of and on for so long and such huge amounts, IV's of it has put 120lbs on me, at 5'3 and that is with swimming in the pool as often as I could up until a few weeks ago when my calves and feet started going numb. I know its from the spurs in my lumbar and its not going to be good news so I pray as a last product to try that everyone speaks true (even though no one with chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus, or MS (I know Montel has that but he does not mention that in the info mercial does he?)
So, I will keep everyone updated here :)
I have had both knees totally replace.
Right knee is doing well ; i cannot bend it like i want to but at least not in as much pain as i was before surgery! Had this knee done in Feb.
In Sept. i had my left knee done ;Dr. said it was worse then expected.
I do have Osteo Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis and it just seems that i am worse now that i have had surgery. I have pain just trying to walk not sure if i can go back to my full time job! please let me know if it works for you!
Yes. NEVER ORDER from the direct website. They offer you 10% for each referral. Then after you submit the order with the referrals, they cancel the order then continue to harass your friends you referred. A SCAM.
