These are the gloves I kept
Full disclosure I am new to compression gloves. I just went thru multiple surgeries and 6 weeks of home IV antibiotics after an almost amputation of my index finger. The finger is still pretty painful around the scars and my joints are stiff. A friend mentioned compression gloves to me and after my doc said they were ok to use I went ahead and bought a pair of ALL the well rated-popular fingerless compression gloves on amazon. I returned all the others and kept these. My goal is regain mobility in my hand and feel less pain when I grip things (the tendons/ligaments in my forearm are aggravated). These gloves help with wrist support with the strap (anyone finding it useless just doesn’t understand/have an issue that necessitates the strap). I needed gloves that are longer like these because my middle knuckle is affected- I like the length. I cannot truly speak to the durability of these gloves because I just got them in the past week. But when I compared the construction to all the others it was better, some gloves almost fell apart putting them on. Some gloves were uncomfortable/had poorly placed seams. Many gloves had no wrist support and would ride up. Since I plan to wear these everyday for quite some time I got multiple pairs so I will not wear them out as fast. Would you wear the same shirt for an entire week (if you weren’t camping :) and expect it not to have wear and tear? Even a sedentary person is using their hands most of the day. Lastly, yes they do have a strong odor when you first get them. I suspect what people are not liking the smell of is the Thyme oil they are infused with (it’s mentioned on the box back). Don’t worry this smell and the menthol goes away after you wash them (hand wash only). Read more
