Don't wear the stupid thing. It can't slide if you're not wearing it.

Soooo tempting. Trying very, very hard to be a good patient. Patience is definitely not my strong suit.Don't wear the stupid thing. It can't slide if you're not wearing it.

My braces stuck better to bare skin rather than fabric

After severed patellar tendon repair, 'wore one just like that 24/7 (not fun trying to sleep) for six weeks. The same gravity caused experience drove me nuts, even with constant tightening if moving about and holding it up with one hand.
The upside is that once you are freed from that torturous device it's like having a new lease on life!

What about a strap and belt? Like a hip boot. Elastic might be best.

That’s what Hunting Husband is scheming. I also bought some double sided carpet anchor padded type stuff to hopefully help over pants.

Tack spray will help. You'll eventually sweat it off but you can take it off, let the brace and leg dry and reapply. Not perfect but it helps. I liked the kind made for football players.

I’ll look into it! Thanks for the tip.

Since you paid a couple of hundred bucks for it lol (add as many decimals as needed) call the folks that fitted it and be nice but firm...make it fit. Your surgical repair depends on this, and they should be receptive. If not, call your surgeon, and say, my brace keeps slipping and I'm afraid my repair won't work. That'll get the ball rolling.

I had total knee replacement about 6 years past.
I just yanked the velcro as hard as I could. It worked.
I would tell Hunting Husband to put some muscle into helping you.

Clearly you did not prep properly, As is eating enough of the guilty pleasure of your choice. Your legs are just too skinny. A little extra padding helps.
On a serious note. Tape the top and bottom of the brace to you leg. Duct tape for on clothing, athletic if you are going to bare skin. Helped for me.

Thanks for the tips. Several things I will try.
Unsuccessful road hunt for sharpies yesterday. But we got out and saw a sunrise, so that’s something. Forgot to take a pic, but this is just about as colorful
About 10 days post op now.

Mrs45 had this problem when she had her ACL done. I suggested a garter belt. She threw a shoe at me....
