FAQ

The Kintex strap

How does the Kintex strap actually work?
It applies gentle, targeted pressure on one exact spot — the tendon just below your kneecap. Instead of wrapping your whole knee, it supports the precise point where the strain builds, so you can keep moving with more comfort.
What's the difference between a strap and a knee sleeve?
A sleeve wraps the entire knee — it's bulky, it gets hot, and it presses everywhere at once. The Kintex strap targets one spot, stays light and breathable, and slips under your pants. That's the whole point: precise support, not a heavy wrap.
Is it for my type of knee pain?
It's made for localized discomfort under the kneecap — jumper's knee, tendon strain, everyday aches from sport, standing or hiking. It's not designed for ligament instability, which needs a full brace. If you're unsure, ask us before you order — we'd rather be honest than sell you the wrong thing. In case of persistent pain, please see a health professional.
Does it get hot or sweaty like a sleeve?
No — that's exactly what it avoids. Because it doesn't cover the whole knee, it stays light and breathable. Great for warm days and long wear, when a thick sleeve would feel like a furnace.
Will it fit me? What size do I need?
One adjustable size fits most. The velcro strap adjusts to your knee, left or right — no sizing headaches, no tight squeeze on your thigh like a sleeve. If it's not right for you, the 60-day guarantee has you covered.
Can I wear it for any sport?
Yes — running, gym, tennis, padel, basketball, hiking, and more. Anywhere sharp stops and landings put strain under the kneecap, the strap sits right on that spot and stays put.

Fit & wearing

Does it slip or slide down when I move?
Once it's set right, it stays locked in place. The silicone pad grips your skin and the velcro adjusts firmly. The trick is the placement — just below the kneecap, snug but not cutting off circulation. Our short how-to-wear guide shows you in a few seconds.
How do I put it on?
Place the silicone pad just under your kneecap, wrap the strap around, and adjust the velcro. Tighten firmly but comfortably — you should be able to slide one finger underneath. That's it.
Will it leave a mark on my skin?
Only if you tighten it too much. The rule is simple: firm but not painful, one finger should slide underneath. Set that way, it supports without digging in.
Left knee or right knee?
Both. The strap is fully adjustable and works on either knee. Some people order two — one for each side, or one to keep in their bag.
Can I wear it under my clothes at work?
Yes — it's slim enough to wear discreetly under your pants all day. On-your-feet jobs, long shifts, kneeling work: the support stays with you without anyone noticing.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash with mild soap, no bleach or fabric softener, and let it air dry away from direct heat. Simple, and it keeps the velcro and pad in good shape.
