CrutchezeOriginal Crutch Bag – Storage Pouch for Underarm Crutches – Lightweight, Washable Crutch Accessory with Velcro Straps – Mobility Aid Tote – Designed in USA

I typically don't write reviews ─ in fact, I've only written one! (just checked), despite the numerous requests for feedback from sellers. This time, when I opened the email, I decided to do it. Because they're just that good. So, I'm writing this for both the covers and bag.I got in a bad accident and the hospital gave me crutches. I used them for an entire month, sans cover, to the great disappointment and anger of my under-arms. By the time I switched to hobbling with an air cast, I was pretty sure I'd never be rid of the bruises on my arms. So, when I had to have surgery a couple months later, you can bet the first thing I did was research crutch covers. To be frank, I chose Crutcheze because of two things: the good reviews, and the aesthetics. (I was originally going to get blue to match my favorite NFL team, but they didn't have the same color for the crutch bag. But despite the fact that I eventually went for black, the aesthetics were still a bonus.)I've been using them for almost a month so far, and I can definitely say: Thank you, Crutcheze. My arms don't hurt! Can't even believe it! I thought, hey, anything that could simply help lower the pain would be good enough. These didn't just lower it, but eliminated it entirely.I also bought their crutch bag, and that has been a life saver, too. My phone, cards, cigarettes - all fit. And, as anyone on crutches knows, carrying glasses of water or coffee cups is a BIG deal, something I definitely won't take for granted for quite a while once I can walk again. Well, the bag took care of that. I was able to put a full cup of water in it, and it didn't spill. Same went for the largest cup of coffee from 7-11.I absolutely recommend both of these products. They'll make your life so much easier. I still have many months to go on them, and I'll be leaning on them more than ever ─ ha ha.Bonus: Every person on the street, at my sports bar, everywhere has remarked about how ingenious the bag looks. (It's not just looks, folks. It /is/ ingenious.)

I wish I had discovered this when I first started tootling around on crutches following knee surgery. It is such a pain in the neck. This provides three separate pouches, which are big enough for a 1-liter water bottle, a phone, and keys, or other small items (e.g. a small paperback book). The more bulky items you shove in there, the more difficult it is. Water bottle, phone & keys is really about all you want to shove in there, but what more could you want? You don't want too much weight, because it does get slightly awkward if it's super heavy, but not a huge deal. It is big enough even for my tall liter bottle. I don't use the disposable bottles, so I'm not 100% sure that the tallest/thinnest of the liter bottles will work, but I think it works, since it does work with a standard and a tall and slightly thinner standard 1-liter bottle.This would be a great gift for someone who will need or does need crutches. It's also a great place to hide your phone, which is not even visible--and who would think to look in a crutch for a phone or a set of keys? Right, they won't. The only downside is that you won't be looking for your phone there either. I had to call my number 5 times, and kept walking back and forth, wondering where the ringing was coming from, before I remembered that it was in here.One catch is that you will want to have a cushion on the handle, because this attaches (very easily, I might add) with two straps on the handle (in addition to the side straps that stabilize it). But the straps on the handle would be uncomfortable without a pad or cushion. I got the ones by Crutch Buddies, as they seemed more substantive, and also a better deal. And although fashion freaks might want their pads to match their crutch bag, it's not necessary to match them perfectly. Take my word for it.

I had surgery on my ankle which required me to be on crutches for two weeks. I know there's other, easier options for two weeks but crutches were more maneuverable for my lifestyle. With that being said, there's nothing more challenging than trying to carry an Osprey shoulder bag, keys, phone, whatever else you think you may need to carry. That's where the Crutcheze crutch bag comes into play. I ordered the bag, armpit pads and hand pads. The pads made crutch life so much more comfortable as the bag made carrying things SO MUCH EASIER!! The crutch bag pretty much became my all around purse for two weeks. It carried my phone, wallet, keys and even the occasional bottle of beer! The material was cool, comfortable and easy to clean. If I had any qualms about the pads it was the armpit and hand pads had a tendency to shift under use and the foam seams would spin a bit. Definitely not enough of a bother that I would deduct a star or hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I still HIGHLY recommend the Crutcheze set should anyone have to spend any amount of time on crutches.

It’s great for what I need it for, but this product would be even better if it used magnets to close instead of Velcro
