The post-game report
Why not just wear a sleeve?
A sleeve squeezes your whole knee and hopes the sore spot gets the message. Patellara goes straight to the tendon and leaves the rest of your knee alone.

FAQ
How do I know this is right for my kind of knee pain?
How do I know this is right for my kind of knee pain?
Patellara is for pain at the front of the knee, right under or around the kneecap. That covers jumper's knee, runner's knee, patellar tendonitis, Osgood-Schlatter, and general overuse from running, jumping, and lifting. If your pain is deep inside the joint, on the sides, or behind the knee, this probably isn't the fix, and we'd rather tell you that now than after you order.
Why is this better than a $10 strap on Amazon?
Why is this better than a $10 strap on Amazon?
Most cheap straps use a flat foam tube that mashes the whole area. Patellara uses a sculpted 8mm silicone pad shaped to the tendon, with ribbed grip so it doesn't slide and sweat grooves so it doesn't get swampy. It's also backed by a 60-day guarantee, which the $10 strap isn't. If it doesn't help, you get your money back.
Where exactly do I put it?
Where exactly do I put it?
Just below your kneecap, on the soft spot between the kneecap and the bump at the top of your shin. Press there with your thumb. If that's where it hurts, that's where the pad goes.
How tight should it be?
How tight should it be?
Snug, not tight. You should feel firm pressure on the tendon and still be able to slip a finger under the band. If your leg tingles or the skin below goes pale, loosen it.
Will it fit me?
Will it fit me?
The strap adjusts from both sides so the pad can be centered on any leg.
Will it slide down when I sweat?
Will it slide down when I sweat?
No. The inside of the band has 45-degree grip ribbing that holds on wet skin, and the hook-and-loop closure doesn't loosen under movement.
Can I wear it all day? Can I sleep in it?
Can I wear it all day? Can I sleep in it?
All day, yes. Most people wear it for training and take it off after, but it's slim and cool enough to leave on. Don't sleep in it or wear it so tight that it leaves deep marks; it's meant to work when you're moving.
Do I need one or two?
Do I need one or two?
One per knee that hurts. If both knees ache, most people get two.
How long until I feel a difference?
How long until I feel a difference?
Most people feel the sharp spot ease the first time they wear it, since the pressure change is immediate. Getting the tendon to calm down over weeks takes rest and strengthening too. The strap lets you keep training while that happens.
How do I wash it?
How do I wash it?
Hand wash in cool water with a little soap, air dry. Don't machine dry; heat is bad for the silicone and the hook-and-loop.
