Donuts & Pie Knee Donuts

I have chronic prepatellar bursitis from many days of kneeling half a year ago... I could not, for example, do the exercise shown on the package without it inflaming this condition...not with any kind of full knee pad or foam pillow or anything. But with these pads, no problemo. I actually carved out the hole a bit to create a more gradual slope to the opening... easy to do with a kitchen knife. And now they are perfect. They seem hard to the touch... more like styrofoam than memory foam, say, but as you kneel on them they settle and support perfectly.

Excellent. I've had 2 knee surgeries on my right knee, one more complicated then the other but the simplest explanation is my knee cap had to be moved over and tied down. Any stress or pressure on my knee cap is very uncomfortable. Years ago I had been in a friends Yoga studio and she had donuts for knee support. They weren't quite as fat as these, the holes were a little bigger, and they were made from a different material but they worked great so I was so excited to see these.The DoDs work just fine. I think they are unnecessarily thick and the hole could be a little wider, but they are comfortable and do take the pressure off my knee cap. I can kneel and do exercises from that position without pain or worrying about additional injury. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with knee surgeries, injuries, or just pain.

I have bad knees--particularly the left knee. Have had surgery to remove the meniscus, and have severe arthritis--bone on bone. All that being true, I have a fairly active life style and have no plans for knee replacement. However, I find Yoga positions in which kneeling is necessary to be painful, and have been looking for a way to cushion my knees. On the basis of reader recommendations, I bought the DoD Fitness Knee Donuts two weeks ago. Big mistake. I have used them twice for Yoga and find they not only do not cushion my knees--probably because they are made of a hard rubber material with absolutely no give--but they have small openings in the "donut" which do not begin to fit my kneecaps. No help whatsoever!I am going to look for another product with more cushioning--perhaps gel or much softer foam rubber. I do not recommend these Knee Donuts to anyone with knee problems, or anyone else, for that matter.

Not soft enough to kneel on a knee replacement. Can not use them. Constructed ok . Would not recommend. Had to buy something else.

Apparently, I didn't read the information carefully enough. I thought I was purchasing the gel type. These are way too stiff for me. Just recently had knee surgery and there is no way that knee will work with this.Product is fine, just not what I thought it was. My fault.

I have knee replacements and this product allows me to cushion my knees when getting up from the floor or kneeling down to retrieve something from the floor without bending over. Ingenious idea.

Since my total knee replacement i can't kneel. I want to do yoga so I got these. They allow me to do kneeling poses in yoga. They are the only thing that has worked to make it more comfortable for me.

I have patellar tracking issues and physical therapy/yoga help tremendously. Some of the floor exercises hurt my knees. These knee donuts help take the pressure off my knee joints and make the exercise less painful. They are reasonably priced and work exactly as expected. The reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because they are a little hard to position. It's not a defect in the product, just a reality.
