Works as intended

Despite only being 28, I've had my fair share of injuries from my years playing semi-competitive ultimate frisbee, climbing, weight lifting, running, and so on. I have noticed especially while doing squats the major tightness I have in my right hip/glute med compared to my left. After going to physical therapy and a chiropractor for my lower back and hip issues, I finally visited a massage therapist place nearby to try a cupping massage for my neck and upper back which have been bothering me for well over a year after suffering fairly severe whiplash from being rear ended last year. Let's just say I was hooked immediately and ordered a set right after my first massage. I initially ordered a different brand that had 4 sizes, 1 of each one. I realized quickly after that I wanted to be able to do pairs of cups for my back/neck/shoulders and so ordered this as an additional set. Like other reviews said, you definitely need oil for the suction to work correctly (I use almond oil). I use the static cupping method and the dynamic gliding method - though prefer the dynamic for areas I can reach and do myself. I use the tiniest ones for my neck and the next size up for the shoulder area. I rarely used the super XL size (not included in this set) and found the largest cup on this set to be plenty of suction for the hips/glutes/leg area. The pictures I've attached show the second time I did cupping on my IT band - I did both sides as equally as I can but you can tell how much more impact it made on the right now. It's quite satisfying actually - it doesn't hurt the skin, but can be a little sensitive when you get to some really tight areas. Doesn't hurt at all despite what appears to be major bruising. For this level of discoloration, it took about a week to fully fade which doesn't really bother me. It works wonders as I can feel how much more smoothly I can descend in my squats. I own a foam roller, massage stick, lacrosse ball and other PT items but think I prefer the feel of this for the hips/leg area. I watched several youtube videos to learn as well as got some tips from my massage therapist. Super easy to use - highly recommend for athletes out there! Definitely recommend getting the set of 6 (3 pairs of small/med/large - don't need the XL).

Much better than the glass cupping sets!This set being silicone, you don't have to worry about anything breaking, and customizing the suction strength is a breeze.I did TONS of research before settling on this one. I frequently have tightness in my neck and shoulders, and I have found that cupping provides more relief than an hour-long massage. Nothing wrong with massages! But I also love the different sizes as you can cover a large area, or really get into those specific points on your body that need extra TLC. Use a body oil instead of a lotion so that you can move the cup(s) more easily over the areas you want to treat.***FYI: Use only one hand to spread the oil first on the area you want to cup so that your other hand is dry and you can get a better grip to create a stronger suction. And yes, you may end up looking like you lost a fight with a giant octopus.The cups are sturdy and very easy to clean and dry. They also include with your purchase a pamphlet and online tutorials from their website to help you make the most of your cupping treatments. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Not as comfortable as hard cups that use a pump, the edges of these have a pinchy (bearable) feel when I tried static cupping. Suction is limited, but can still be pretty strong. Not strong enough to leave the marks I was expecting or hoping for. These were not hard for me to squeeze, took some muscle with the biggest ones but they worked (when I say muscle, know that I'm just a lady and not some big strong handed man). The little ones worked great for active cupping (no pinchy feel when doing this). Overall happy to have for at home use, but they won't be a replacement for having a cupping session done with a pro, like I had hoped. I still plan to keep and use them in between treatments.Note: I have a high pain tolerance and want as intense a cupping session as possible. If that doesn't describe you then these may be just what you are looking for.

My message therapist has these cups. They are easy to use, provide pain relief to sore muscles and joints. Perfect!

As a Massage therapist that use to use the plastic with the gun to suction. Most of my clients love cupping. Especially for that area with restrictions in their fascia

They’re OK but they’re a little hard to get to stay on. If you’re very hairy forget about it. You will have to shave the area you want to use it at

My chiropractor put these cups on me when I had a seized up calf and could hardly walk. This worked so well, I bought my own set. Definitely good if you're someone who works out and need to soothe sore muscles.
