Neoprene Thumb Support Spica CMC Brace Splint Stabiliser Sprain Strain Arthritis (Pink, S-L (15-20cm) Right Hand)

Definite 5 stars for this CMC support glove!I have several thumb supports for CMC Basal Thumb Arthritis in my left thumb, which causes a lot of pain and usually limits my grip, strength and dexterity. I have bought different types of thumb splint/ support gloves for different activities and degrees of support. Some are really good, but some have just been an expensive waste of money and unable to return :(((I decided to look for a Neoprene glove and eventually found this one and decided to give it a try as it's only £4.99 and Free Postage.Neoprene will keep the area it covers warm, which stimulates blood flow in that area and "can have" a beneficial effect on pain relief and prevention. I used to use Neoprene knee supports years ago when running long distances and found them very beneficial and fantastic on my old knee injuries.Neoprene WILL make your skin sweat to some degree, because it does, and is meant to, increase heat in that area through the stimulation in blood flow. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT that the glove (or any other Neoprene item) is washed very frequently and best hand washed, if possible, in warm (not really hot) water, as stale sweat will make any Neoprene smell and become unhygienic.As with any Neoprene item, it is important to wash the glove thoroughly in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly before wearing.I was delighted at how well made these gloves are. The fabric is good quality on both sides as is the stitching. The edges (apart from the top of the thumb) are all fabric edged and oversewn with a zigzag stitch and the velcro is in all the right places!I have attached photos of the opened out glove showing both the inside as well as the outside views.I ordered the S/L size as I have large hands for a woman and take a size 8 or 9 in a woman's glove. This thumb support glove adjusts perfectly for a firm OR "slightly" looser fit on my hand if desired. My wrist circumference is 17cm and hand circumference just above my thumb is 21cm so the S/L size is perfect for my hand 👍😁I only bought one of these in purple just to try it out, but am going to order another 1 (or 2) in black as you really need a spare while the other is being washed and I can see these being worn A LOT!The glove is VERY comfortable to wear, gives good compression and a "medium" support which allows for greater flexibility when performing activities where you need to have as full as possible range of movement within your own limitations.I also like the fact that it is LATEX free, as I am allergic to latex!I would recommend this item 100%. However, as everyone is different, I would order one at first to see how you get on with it just in case it's not for you!It also arrived 2 days earlier than the expected arrival date via Royal Mail, so that was a nice surprise. I would recommend this item and the Seller. A very happy customer 😁

I am only giving this 4 stars as it is too big for me, I thought it would be as it is one size fits all hands and I have tiny hands but I can sew so have adjusted it to fit and it is really helping support my thumb in yoga and weight lifting which have been painful up until now because of a joint problem in my left thumb so am pleased with the purchase and the colour !!!

I had pain in the base of my thumb. Got this to support it and it was a good fit. The problem eventually went away. Velcro strap enables you to have it as tight as needed. You can also use your hand reasonably well as it allows movement.

Useless! Gave no support for the thumb as it was far too baggy.I don't have small hands so not sure which sort of giant this is made for!It was also sweaty and not at all breathable.Sorry but don't waste your money.

It's great support for my arthritic thumb. A little bit big around the hand. But that's not a huge issue

As I have arthritis in my thumb, this splint holds iit in place and really helps with the pain.

Great value and offered good support for my thumb pain

I have one of these from the hospital and to be honest it looks the same but but doesn't fit as good so for me it doesn't do the job.
