Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have basal arthritis and need to immobilize my thumbs to reduce pain and inflammation.I tried several thumb supports available on Amazon and elsewhere. This one has none of the flaws that the others' have. Support: The brace along the thumb is pretty stiff, holding your thumb still when your not using it. But it will flex if you need to grab something. If you are typing, you can loosen the thumb strap, which of course gives you less support. Or you learn to whack the spacebar with a slightly different motion. Which brings me to: Adjustable: Two Velcro straps control the pressure on your hand and wrist. A third controls the thumb tension. In no time you have this adjusted so it's comfortable to your needs. It works great on my moderately large hand. A really tiny hand might be a problem. I wear it while I sleep, and most of my waking day. Which leads to... Comfort: I'm truly amazed. Of course I take it off to shower, or cook (don't want it smelling like raw fish). But unlike the PROLITE® PULL-ON THUMB SUPPORT, X-Large, Beige one that I tried, I can wear this all day. It's light, it breathes, and you can make it just as tight as you want. I took all of my braces to an appointment with a hand specialist. This is the one he liked, also.
