Great for shielding eczema on elbows from irritating fabrics.
I suffer from itchy eczema on my elbows which is exacerbated by clothing made of synthetic fabric like polyester.  Consequently, this is a bigger problem in the winter when I wear long sleeves to keep warm.  I bought this product to make myself 100% cotton &#34;under sleeves&#34; to protect my elbows from my synthetic shirts and blouses, and to also protect my clothing from the greasy ointments I still need to use on my elbows to keep the skin soft. I have found that my &#34;under sleeves&#34; also cut down on my unconscious scratching.  To make a sleeve, I just cut a length of this cotton &#34;tubing&#34; twice the size I need, then I fold it over so I have a double thickness of tubing.  Once it's positioned over my elbow, I wrap a piece of &#34;self-adherent bandage tape&#34; around my under sleeve to hold it in place. Once the sleeves get yucky from the ointments I just throw them away and start again, but I guess I could wash them, too.  Since I have started using my &#34;under sleeves&#34; the eczema on my elbows has improved immensely!
