Wrist Thumb Brace Mommy Compression Stabilizer Thumb Spica Splint

I have small hands and wrists so the small size works very well for me. It is the most comfortable wrist/thumb brace I have ever worn. However, I can understand other people's complaints. Clearly, everyone has different needs in terms of support. If you need more than light support, this is not the brace for you. I was specifically looking for something lightweight that could get wet and dry quickly. I am being careful putting it on and taking it off because it is flimsy. I haven't torn it yet but I'm sure the day will come but, for me, that is okay. I need long term support so I will probably sign up to have this auto-shipped on a regular basis. I do think it is a bit pricey for what you get but this is exactly what I was looking for and I love it.

This should be five stars. The fabric is amazing. Soft, pliable, breathable. The form is spot on, even for big arthritic joint/knuckles. FATAL DESIGN FLAW: they connected the material in the wrap of the thumb, right at the inner ‘soft spot’ at the base of the thumb where you grip, and it’s a weird corner tuck they did so it’s very small and feels like a knot in there. After that rubs from the inside on a sore arthritic thumb joint it’s unbearable and red and swollen after about 30 mins of wear. I couldn’t get it to reposition out. It’s just in the worst place possible. Sad to return this - I love the rest of it but if I just cut the knot out it’s gonna pull somewhere else and cut into circulation. So back it goes.

The cons: his wrist and thumb stabilizer runs small and the fabric is not very stretchy, making it uncomfortable to put it on and to wear for a long period of time. In addition, the position of the metal splint works appropriately on the left hand, but it feels out of place on the right hand, despite being advertised as for either the left or the right hand. The pros: It is light weight, the fabric is soft, and it does provide a bit of support while allowing movement of the thumb and wrist. This is all I need but it may not work for someone that needs a immobilizer instead of a stabilizer. It also washes and dries easily.

I ordered these for my 86 year old mother to help with her arthritis pain in her thumb. She already had a couple of thumb splints with velcro straps that she used sometimes but she didn’t like wearing them as they were too bulky and complicated to get on with only one hand to tighten and secure the straps. They were also very rigid and when wearing them she couldn’t use her hand well enough to pick things up or hold things effectively. When we received these I was doubtful as they are so sheer and lightweight. It didn’t seem like they would offer much support or stability but my doubts were unwarranted. Mom LOVES them! She can wear them all day and spend hours playing her games on her iPad with her stylus without any pain. They are very thin and form fitting with no bulky straps. They are very easy for her to slip on and off with only one hand. The pink/beige color blends well with her skin tone and doesn’t stand out. She isn’t self conscious about wearing them in public as they are barely noticeable. The rigid thumb support inside them is still flexible enough to allow her to pick things up, write and use the stylus for gaming on her iPad while still restricting her thumb movement enough to prevent her pain. She is VERY happy with these thumb braces and I am very happy see her using her hands pain free.

Do not waste your time or money. I have small hands so ordered a size small. The product was so small it would have fit on a toddler. The part that should have fit over my palm and wrist would not even fit over 2 fingers. Don’t even earn one star!

It is difficult to get on the first time, but once it's on, it feels good and gives good support gently. It's very lightweight. I expect I will be pleased; I plan to use this mostly for sewing.

First of all, I have tiny hands and wrists. This fit perfect. I needed something that wasn't cumbersome to fit underneath a latex glove to give me a little extra support while I dog groom. This is perfect. I wish it had a tad more support, but overall, I will be making this purchase again. It was worth it to me. Washability: This washes well in the washer, I just hang to dry. Size: Fits my tiny hands and wrists well.

This thumb brace to of good quality and material. It may help someone who has very light arthritis. But for anything beyond that it doesn’t have enough support. Pain relief was minimal. Ease of use excellent. Compression slight.
