An open drawer full of old knee sleeves and braces

Sound familiar?

A drawer full of knee braces. Not one of them stayed.

  • The sleeve that slides down around your calf by lunch.
  • The hinged brace you can't wear under a pair of pants.
  • The thick one that turned your leg into a sauna.
  • The one you kept wearing because you'd already paid for it.

It was never your knee. It was the target.Every one of them wrapped the whole knee. None of them pressed on the spot that takes the load.

Why Unbrace exists

The knee brace aisle got it backwards.

Walk into any drugstore and you'll find a wall of sleeves and braces. Bigger. Thicker. More straps, more metal. Every one of them wraps the whole knee and hopes something helps.

But wrapping everything means pressing on nothing in particular.

We started from the opposite idea: find the one spot that takes the load when you step down, and put a firm pad right there. Nothing around it. Nothing to slide.

Less brace. More you.

How it works

One spot. Not the whole knee.

It's small on purpose. Here's why.

Two Unbrace One knee straps
1

The spot

Every time you step down a stair, your weight moves through a small area just below your kneecap.

2

The miss

A sleeve spreads light pressure around your whole knee, so almost none of it lands on that area.

3

The fix

Unbrace One puts a firm, wave-shaped silicone pad right on that spot and holds it there with a slim adjustable band.

That's the whole idea. Less brace, on the right spot.

The honest comparison

Less brace. More you.

The stair test

Walk down your own stairs. You'll know in one minute.

No waiting weeks to find out. Here's what your first minute, and your first 60 days, look like.

  1. 0:10

    It's on.

    Pad two fingers below your kneecap. Snug, not tight.

  2. 0:30

    The first step down.

    Notice where your hand goes. Notice which foot leads.

  3. 1:00

    Bottom of the stairs.

    You don't need us to tell you how that felt.

  4. Hour 8

    Still right where you put it.

    No sliding down to your calf. No readjusting under the desk.

  5. Day 60

    You decide.

    Keep it, or send it back for your money.

All day, every day

Nobody knows you're wearing it.

A flat silicone pad and a slim breathable band. The only support you'll actually keep on, because you forget it's there.

Under jeans

No bulge at the knee. Sit, stand, drive, walk to lunch.

Under scrubs

Built for 12-hour shifts on hard floors. Still in place at the end of the day.

Under leggings

Walks, classes, courts and trails. Breathable, so it doesn't turn into a sauna.

How to wear it

On in 10 seconds.

01

Find your kneecap.

Sit down with your leg slightly bent and feel for the bottom edge of your kneecap.

02

Two fingers below.

Lay two fingers flat under the kneecap. That's where the pad goes, not on the kneecap itself.

03

Snug, not tight.

Close the band so the pad stays put when you bend. You should be able to slide a finger under it.

Tip: every box includes a placement card, so you get it right the first time.

Questions

Everything you're wondering.

It looks so small. Does it actually do anything?
It's small on purpose. Unbrace One isn't trying to cover your knee, it's built to press on one spot just below your kneecap. A bigger brace spreads pressure everywhere; this puts it where it counts. The easiest way to find out is the stair test: put it on and walk down your own stairs.
How is it different from a knee sleeve or a brace?
A sleeve wraps your whole knee in stretchy fabric. A hinged brace adds metal and straps to hold the joint. Unbrace One does neither: one firm silicone pad, one slim band, nothing around the joint. That's why it fits under clothes and doesn't slide down.
Will it slide down when I walk?
The inside of the pad is silicone, which grips your skin instead of riding on it. Placed two fingers below the kneecap and closed snug, it stays where you put it through walks, stairs and long days on your feet.
Will it fit my knee?
Unbrace One is one size with an adjustable band that fits most adult knees. If it doesn't fit you, contact us and we'll make it right.
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. The band is breathable and the profile is flat, so it's comfortable under jeans, scrubs or leggings for a full day. Take it off at night and let your skin breathe.
I have arthritis or a past knee injury. Can I use it?
Unbrace One is a support strap, not a medical treatment, and it doesn't replace advice from your doctor. If you have a diagnosed condition, a recent injury or you're recovering from surgery, check with your doctor or physical therapist before using any knee support.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have 60 days. Wear it on the stairs, on your walks, at work. If it doesn't earn its place in your day, send it back and get your money back.
Why are there two straps in the box?
One for each knee, or one for you and one for the person who walks with you.
