Dr. Frederick's Original Waterproof Thumb & Wrist Brace - 4 ct - Hand Brace for Arthritis, Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel & Trigger Thumb - Doctor-Developed Spica Splint - Fits Left & Right Hand - Small

I honestly was not expecting this to work at all and thought I might be wasting my money, but I was shocked. I typed a lot for my work and am on the computer all day. My wrist and thumb area has been sore for some time after a fall. I have tried so so many different types of wrist/thumb braces. But a lot of them got in the way of my typing. So I gave this a go. It fits super snug. It will look like it won't fit and will be too tight, and while it takes some getting use to when putting it on, once you get it on, and adjust the brace to where you want it to sit, it's quite comfortable. It's gel, so even if it gets wet, it's not a big deal, just dry it off. It's like wearing a second skin that is hugging your wrist and thumb. It was comfortable to type with and kept the pain at bay while I was wearing it. If it starts to feel a bit tight, I just pull it out and re-adjust it and it fixes the problem. If what are you needing is just a compression wrist brace with thumb, give this a whirl. If you are needing more support and need to immobilize the tendon area at the base of the thumb, this isn't for you, remember, with this brace all your joints can move.

comfortable/supportive/ perfect amount of support. Only wish it came in a clear option as well.

I needed support when washing dishes, these work well. I got two packs to have enough for a while. Since I only use them for wet activities I put on wet and they slip on easily. I leave on a while, but gets uncomfortable after some time with moisture trapped. Useful for my need.

So.. I'm conflicted. I loved these at the start, but a few weeks in wearing them I'm finding some issues. I have DeQuervains Tendonitis in both of my hands, worst in my right hand. I'm a home health nurse who's independently, my hands take abuse from transfers etc. I bought these because a normal brace is impossible to keep under knit trial gloves for work. These braces are great because you can wear them under gloves, but the thumb part tends to roll back. Granted, that's much more minor than a giant brace under a glove. I usually have to powder hands before putting these on, or impossible ( the Package does state that) I wear these 3–4 times a week and I've noticed there are parts of the brace starting to peel/wear away. Though they are silicone, they don't seem to have very much strength for normal wear and tear. The right thumb is ripping so they're loose with no compression now. There is no thumb support with these – but I do have to say it's amazing how much it helps my tendinitis. The pressure of them and the way they sit on my hands does do wonders. So if anything they do help my pain, while providing a minimal brace so I can glove up constantly at work. The only complaint is maybe the quality, they are starting to break down in less than one month. So it's a 50/50. The first few weeks cool- but after less than a months they're ripping, no compression and essentially crap. Waste of $11 because I was so excited for these

I bought these again despite having concerns because there are no other highly rated waterproof support products listed on Amazon based on my needs. I am a dishwasher. The waterproof feature works great. These are very easy to get on and off. Provide great support overall with one exception. The thumb area. If the manufacturer could redesign the thumb portion to mimic the double support provided at the wrist, you would have a winner. Thumb portion wears out quickly and splits easily.

I have worked at Starbucks for 18 years and I have tendinitis and carpal tunnel. Barista hands! These provide so much relieve and I am still able to wash my hands after handling money and changing tasks! No problem! My hands lock up otherwise! I highly recommend (after a lot of washing, this eventually break down and become brittle and tear. But this is after a LOT OF wear and tear. I’m super satisfied with these!)

First I would call this a "support" and NOT a "brace" or "splint" as it says in the description. I was looking for a support so this works for me, but if you are looking for something more rigid, like a brace or splint, this is not it. That said I really like the support it gives and how comfortable it is to wear. It has just the right amount of support for my situation and I almost forget that I have it on. It's very easy to rinse off if something gets on it.... BUT... I do wish it came in black or at least a darker color. I am very active in the garden, barn, and woodshed so I'm afraid that the light color is going to look dingy and gross pretty quickly. Also, it's not a breathable material so I worry about sweating under it, especially in the summer months, and if that's going to cause irritation. For those two reasons I did 4 stars instead of 5. UPDATED: I've had them less than a week and here is what I have found. While washable, they do get dingy looking pretty quickly. One has already torn at the thumb while putting it on. I've found that they get "tacky" pretty quickly. They are NOT breathable and DO cause sweating under them (and it's not even warm here yet in the north). While they themselves are waterproof (ie the TPU material), water can get under them and onto your skin. If you take them off to dry your hands, they are nearly impossible to get back on. I've reduced the stars for all of these reasons, and won't order again, but still give 2 stars for comfort and support. If you are a person who works in an office or other "clean" environment they may work for you.

I have bad arthritis in my thumb. I just received this in the mail and put it on right away. So far it feels good but the real test will be when I go to work or do some crocheting.

Demasiado blanda, no da soporte.

Artículo práctico y original.

I highly recommend this brace for people that need to use their hands. It does reduce the pain and allows for mobility.. I also find that I have a better grip on things whereas I would’ve dropped them before. I’ve tried number of different braces and this one seems to be the best.

Quisiera pedir al fabricante que así como está reforzada la parte de la muñeca y la base del pulgar,así mismo refuercen el rededor del pulgar, Por favor. Lo voy a usar de continuo y no duran mucho! Se rompen siempre de ese lugar!! HAGAN CASO A SU CLIENTA POR FAVOR 🙏🏻
