This is my third time being in a sling for a shoulder, but it's been 10 years since the last time. I'd finally gotten rid of my slings at home, so the first thing I did was buy just about every sling amazon has to offer. Look, a lot of these other ones are going to be fine for something ailments, I'm sure, but I won't trust any other sling for a recently dislocated shoulder. This is the only sling that gives me the support I need. The velcro is good and stays secured (unlike some). The lengths are adjustable. Is it confusing and hard to get on? I mean, yeah, the first couple times, but if you power through and learn how you won't have to worry about your arm swinging out when you bend over. The fabric can be a little hot, but if that's the price we pay for safety then so be it. I bought an extra so I have one to wear during washes of the first.

We have tried a few arm slings on the market, but none have been as good as this one. The Willcom Arm Sling is comfortable, breathable, and provides secure immobilisation—it’s an excellent product overall. One thing to be careful about is SIZING. The instructions recommend choosing a larger size if your underbust measurement falls in two sizes and you prefer a looser fit. My husband’s measurement is 40", which falls in two sizes - Medium size and Large size . So we followed the guideline to size up and ordered a Large. However, it turned out to be far too big. We returned it and reordered a Medium size, which fits him perfectly and delivers the intended level of support and comfort. Based on our experience, if your measurement is BETWEEN SIZES, I would not recommend sizing up, as it may end up being far too big and does not fit.

The sling I was sent home in after bicep tendon surgery was hurting my neck after one day. This was a fantastic upgrade. It fit my arm when it was still swollen, when I had the cold therapy machine wrapped around my arm, and when leaving the house. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to put it on the first few times. The manufacturers had videos on this Amazon listing and on YouTube that made it easier. We never used the slip for the thumb and arm but it didn't affect how it functions or supports. I feel like it has very versatile support points so if one didn't work, there were ample alternatives. One tip to avoid frustration: when you're not wearing it, hang it up. I didn't the first few times and it got twisted, the velcro stuck in the wrong place, it was a nightmare getting it back to the right shape. We hung it over two simple Command hooks (I'm sure a hanger would work just as well) and never had that issue again.

Good and supportive

Follow the seller's recommendations for sizing. I ordered a medium because of reviews I read. I should have ordered large for a more comfortable fit for the number of weeks I'll be wearing it. As far as quality goes, very impressed. It's the same quality materials and level of construction as the ridiculously expensive ones from the hospital. I have a 3 level fusion in my neck and knew from experience, I would not tolerate anything putting pressure on my neck. The sling distributes the weight and stain more on the opposite shoulder with minimal pressure on the neck. I did grab a padded seat belt cover from my car to put over the strap that goes over the opposite shoulder to keep the strap from rubbing my neck raw. I also lined the sling on the second day with a sacrificed t-shirt. This helped reduce the sweating and the rubbing from the straps inside. It may sound like I complaing, I'm not. This is the best sling I've used for comfort, design, purpose and durability, not to mention the very affordable cost. I would also like to note, that my ortho had never heard of a sling that didn't go around the neck. I think this was an eye opener to him and his staff about other options the medical reps are not making them aware of.
