Thumb Wrist Brace Compression Sleeve (2 PCS) for Arthritis Pain Relief Protector Support, Soft Elastic Fabric Thumb Spica Splint Glove Liner for Women and Men -Fits Both Hands (Small)

These don't look like much when you get them...they're small and thin and look like they aren't going to hold up at all, and that they are too light to do much good. I was very skeptical when opened the package. After a week of wearing them every time I was using a keyboard or my cell phone, (so pretty much all day every day) I'm ready to give a fair review. I'm a "senior" female who has had many HARD jobs in her life, and my hands and wrists show it. I have no been officially diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel or Tendonitis ( it could be either or both) but I do have pain and some weakness in my wrists and thumbs, especially after some time on the keyboard, and even more when I use my phone to play games. ( so I kind of deserve it for participating in those giant time-sucks) These really do provide light but firm support, and they have noticeably reduced the pain while I'm wearing them, but there also seems to be some residual effect because wrist pain when I flex my wrist in my sleep isn't waking me up at night now. ( I don't wear them to bed. Yet.) They are comfortable to wear all day; the fabric is light and breathable and is somehow both stretchy and not. Getting them on and off is a bit of a challenge, but practice makes that easier...they have to be a little tight to do the job. I have fairly large paws for a woman, and my wrists measure exactly 6.5 inches, so I could have gone with either medium or small. I went with small, because I figured that tighter would be good for such lightweight looking supports. It was definitely a chore to get those tiny things over my big mitts the first time but they do relax a tiny bit with use and washing....not a ton, but a little. When I wear this pair out I may try the mediums just to see if they work as well and are a bit easier to get off and on. Oh and as for washing? I work with my hands in "none-to-clean" situations since I live on a farm, so washing them is a must! I've taken two approaches to this: if they get skanky pretty early in the day, I just leave them on and wash my hands like normal...that way I get the surface grime off, and they dry quickly while I'm wearing them. I've also washed them out in the bathroom basin with mild soap and hung them to dry overnight and that works well too...I have not noticed any shrinkage from washing, but I certainly would NOT put them in a dryer! Overall I'm quite pleased with these, and I have tried any number of other styles of wrist supports that did nothing positive, were bulky, hot, were very hard to put on. For me anyway, they actually do help so I'd certainly recommend trying them if other supports haven't worked for you, or just if you are starting to feel some problems and would like to try something inexpensive and comfortable that provides light/medium support, you could sure do worse. then giving these a try.

I'd been having pain and stiffness in my right thumb for nearly two months. I researched and learned that treatment would start with a soft brace, move to a stiff brace if that didn't work, next a cortisone shot in the wrist if that didn't work, and finally there is surgery available if nothing else works. Thought I'd give this soft brace a shot - when it came in I was skeptical. I'd read the reviews and even got a notice that it was a highly returned item but it seemed to me that the negative reviews were all about sizing. I have a largeish wrist (in my mind), it measures 6 1/2 but I can't stand a bracelet that's less than 7 1/2" (7" is too tight) so I was a little nervous about the size chart listed + reviews. I ordered a small and it's perfect, snug and I have to tug to get it on, but the compression is perfect. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. I've been putting it on late morning for the last few days and wearing it until bedtime. I'm impressed with the difference - this thumb brace has really helped reduce the inflammation and pain that I was beginning to really worry about!

Received Willcom Elastic thumb support and the pkg did not have the elastic thumb support in it! The blue pkg looks like it had been cut it was open and the support was not inside pkg it was shipped in! Just the instructions and two empty plastic bags

This is a comfortable and low-profile option for providing some support for hypermobile thumbs and wrist. Other thumb compression sleeves have been too awkward or tight, or I've reacted to the fabric. No such problem here. I love the quick-drying fabric, though I have found it pills easily on the outside. I'm worried it won't hold up longer than a few months, though luckily they're fairly cheap.Wearing them consistently has really helped my chronic pain and also improved my motor coordination (since I have better proprioception with them on), so really improved my life. Just hope they hold up to be a decent option to use regularly.

Works as advertised. Does not provide a lot of support for the thumb.

This brace is comfortable and easy to use. I was using KTape prior to buying this product, but that process was cumbersome to apply and maintain daily. Unlike KTape, this brace can easily be removed to wash hands/bathe, and if it does get wet, it dries quickly. If you’re looking for a brace that provides light support while still allowing full range of motion, I would recommend this product.

I bought this (actually a two-pack) to cushion the Push thumb brace for my CMC arthritis. The brace works well but the edges are hard and kind of sharp so I wanted to pad them with this sleeve. Don't buy this sleeve for support as it is quite thin and very elastic - provides no support at all. Anyway, the band fits fine but does not cover the entire area of the brace so the outer edge (toward the fingers) is not protected at all. My skin is often pinched at the outer edge - by the thumb - and the inner edge - edge of the palm below the pinkie finger.

Very nice basic support for my cmc thumb joint. I've tried many braces and support devices. Thus is great for driving or using under a golf glove.
