Looking for a "brace" for my knee

I usually do cardio/hip hop dancing for my workouts. My right knee hurts a little but not enough that requires medical attention or pain meds. Other than working out it really doesn't bother me. (not even walking hurts). Anyway....my question is I am looking for one of those "things" (sorry I can't articulate the brace I need) I've seen other people wear them. They loom like spandex with a hole in it for the knee cap
Does anyone know where I can find one of these "things? Lol

Most large drug stores carry them in the first aid section.0

The best options are the ones with velcro so you can adjust the level of support!0

Sounds like a neoprene sleeve with an opening for your patella. Here's one of the most highly rated I've seen, I had to buy a really sturdy knee brace a few months ago, and looked at these, too. http://www.amazon.com/McDavid-Knee-Supp-Black-Large/dp/B000UVXVBY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1435538762&sr=8-2&keywords=neoprene+knee+sleeve
ETA: I do agree with the others though, that getting one with velcro straps at the top and bottom is a good idea, braces tend to slide like crazy! Good luck0 -
You can get one at pretty much any drug store. However, I would strongly recommend getting checked out by an orthopedist first only to make sure that your knee pain isn't something more severe.0
