After shopping and running to every Walmart CVS walgreens rite aid oxygen plus and couple other medical equipment stores within a 50 mile raduis I finally found this amazing support thumb gaurd.usually their too big and bulky and come all the way down to the wrist so then ur not getting the support around the thumb and then cannot move ur wrist so this is perfect .I have lil danty hands so an xs or a small is perfect. I luv the adjustment straps .it's comfortable .I am a manager at a hotel and I do alot all day especially working with my hands .for the past couple years I've needed a trapezuim surgery .everyday feels like my thumb is just gonna fall off .so much pain and tears .I've tried all kinds of diff arthritis gloves and other thumb guards/gloves waste of time and $ ..I highly recommend this one def worth ur $ especially if u need immediate relief .I am not a robot .this was a lifesaver!

This company has the best customer service ever. I have bought two sets of the bullseye thumb brace. Delivery was quick and the braces arrived as ordered. Unfortunately, the second time I ordered I mistakenly ordered the wrong size. So, I emailed the company. I heard back from the within 5 minutes. They are sending the right size and told me to wait until I receive the new ones before returning the others. I have mild to moderate arthritis. This brace gives me just the right amount of stability in my joint without restricting movement. I had tried several braces that had the hard plastic rings that fit around the thumb and all of them were painful. The ring dug into my hand, causing pain. This brace if very comfortable and well made. Read more
I rarely write reviews, but since I'm buying 2 more of these, I think a review is warranted. I've purchased SO MANY braces for my CMC pain I've lost count. None have fit as well, or had better support than this brace. It is a little pricey, but well worth it for my poor hands. Some braces had great support but went to far down on my wrist, and some had a better length but held my thumbs in an uncomfortable position which made the pain worse. Since everyone is different, it might not be the right brace for you, but this one is the best I've found for me. Read more
If the CMC joint is your problem, look no further. This brace limits your range of motion but only in the areas that cause pain, so not inhibiting mobility unnecessarily. At first, the price seemed high but The Thumb Brace is comfortable to wear - the fabric is soft and porous, allowing your skin to breathe (and not get sweaty). It is also easily washable and not made with Natural Rubber Latex (for those with latex allergies). I like that it covers the targeted area and not the whole hand allowing for mobility. The product is well-made and comfortable to wear. Read more
runs very small i’m small boned but to have extra space when swelling occurs order a medium and was way to small ! Read more
Struggling with CMC I have gone through dozens of braces and so I believe that I am authority on this issue. Bull’s-eyes CMC brace is lightweight and very effective. It is not over the top bulky like many others you will get off the drugstore shelf. In hindsight, however, I am going to return the brace because I can buy a brace just as nice, or nicer, for less than 20 bucks at the store. This product is definitely not worth 50 bucks!! Read more
This looked like a good idea in terms of comfort. However, I found it to be useless because it doesn't provide the needed support nor does it immobilize the basal thumb joint. If you have pain from arthritis in the basal thumb joint or from an injury there, this isn't going to provide the support or immobilization that's needed to rest the joint. I showed it to my orthopedic hand specialist, who said it's useless and that I need to get a brace that has a stiff piece along the joint to support and hold the joint in place. This particular one, besides the problems just mentioned, was way overpriced. I'm sorry to say it, but sometimes one doesn't get what one pays for. This was a disappointment. Maybe this review will inspire the designers to rethink this and make an upgrade with a true splint in it. Read more
I've wasted so much money buying less expensive braces for my CMC pain that I could have bought a Bullseye. I got frustrated so rather than searching on Amazon used Google. Found the Bullseye and liked the look of it, then ordered on Amazon even tho the reviews weren't that good - mostly due to the cost. Let me tell you, this brace is completely different than others I've gotten and is obviously designed for the CMC joint! It has so many great features (check out the listing) and adjustments to make it fit perfectly. I cannot recommend it enough and will be ordering a couple more for working outside or when one gets dirty or wet. It's worth every penny to alleviate the pain. PS: My hand doctor's NP has told me to avoid the surgery as long as possible. I have a feeling it's not a guaranteed fix for the pain. As I'm 73, hopefully this brace will do me just fine. Read more
