We built the knee strap we wanted our own parents to wear

The knee that changes your plans

It starts small. You take the stairs one at a time. You pick the flat route on the dog walk. You stop kneeling in the garden and start reaching from the path. Nobody calls it a knee problem yet, but the day is already being shaped around one sore spot under the kneecap.

The straps that help, and why people would not wear them

Patellar straps are not new. Runners and jumpers have used them for decades because a pad below the kneecap genuinely changes how a step feels. What we kept hearing was the other half of the story: they slid down, they were built like gym kit, and wearing one to a school run or a supermarket felt like an announcement.

What we changed

• It stays put. A gel-grip inner and a one-hand dial, so the pad you seat in the morning is still there on the way home.
• It disappears. A thin pad and a light CoolKnit cover that wears under trousers without heat or bulk.
• It is one size. No charts. Fits knees from about 12 to 18 inches around.
• It comes with a real guarantee. Sixty days from the day it arrives. If it does not help, you get your money back.

Who we are

Care of June is a small team in London. We sell one product, we answer our own emails at info@careofjune.com, and we would rather refund you than have a strap sit unused in a drawer.

The name is for the kind of person we picture wearing it: someone with plans for the day and a knee that keeps trying to edit them.
