VELPEAU Elastic Thumb Wrist Support Brace (Pack of 2), Splashproof Compression Sleeve for Arthritis Pain, Tendonitis, Sprains, Sports, Splint Liner, Fits Left & Right Hands (Long Version - Khaki, Large)

Seems well made. Applies some compression to lower thumb area to help prevent pain from strained thumb. The longer version extends further up wrist but that may get in the way of a wristwatch strap. If the wrist brace is smoothly installed, a watch may fit over the brace since the brace material is thin. The brace seems to wash & dry easily but may be bothersome if it gets wet while washing hands.

I originally read this as a soft brace itself- which it is not. It is not supportive or bracing in the least. But as a liner, it's perfect! It helps a GREAT deal when wearing an unlined brace, which most of mine are. Ah, the relief from that pinching velcro closure! You get two, and I have lost one, but I use the heck out of that one and I am probably going to buy more. Be warned that the flesh tone color stains/dirties easily and does not wash out as I hoped it would. So don't cut tomatoes with this on alone, it will stain. (That sounds like a "d'uh!" thing but this liner is so comfy I forget I have it on or just get too lazy to take it off. It has a nice feel!) Also, I have no idea how it is waterproof- I'd say it is not. I'm not sure what that claim even means in conjunction with this. I mean, if you get it wet, it's wet. But never mind that, it does everything else super well, is very comfortable, and makes life better if you wear a brace. Amen.

I wanted the material to be a little more supportive. So I wrapped thumb with tape and then use it over the tape. It did help relieve the pain.!

Following joint replacement surgery on base of thumb 3 months ago, I was still transitioning from bulky splints. But I still needed some gentle support and some compression to keep swelling down. This is working perfectly for this purpose, and support splint use is almost eliminated. What is really nice is that the sleek profile means I can just slip the splint over it for temporary extra support. This is a well made product. The only issue is determining size needed. My hands usually need a men’s large for gloves. But if I want a tight fit, I buy mediums. I bought size medium and guessed right. It was a tight fit, but support and compression were perfect.

I've purchased two sets of these. they feel good. they work very well. problem is they have very poor stitching around the thumb and they separate, then split open. they just don't hold up.. The stitching starts to come undone within 2 weeks of purchase. I'll stitch these around the thumb myself because I really like how these fit. they're very nice and snug. I just wish they would last longer.

I was 1/4" into the large size measurement so according to the measurement instructions I ordered a large. The only problem I had was that the large was too loose so I returned it and ordered a medium size which ended up being a perfect fit. The material is very thin but has plenty if elasticity. Don't expect too much support but for a snug fit it is perfect. My advice is after measuring if you are not in the middle of the size range buy the smaller size. No smell, good elasticity, snug support, no allergic reaction, comfortable to wear while sleeping. All in all it's a pretty good product for my needs.

Too big! I measured as described in the product chart and I was a large by a half inch. I can’t rate the item since there’s not the support I need due to being too big.

This took FOREVER to be delivered, but now that I finally have it I approve. Provides enough compassion for stone pain relief without completely restricting mobility like some other braces I tried. Definitely recommend for the price
