I have been suffering terrible wrist pain, but not carpel tunnel. My pain stems from the pinky side. Upon consulting my doctor (ahem - Google) I found that pretty much an actual doctor would start with a wrist support. I ordered one for during the day, and this one for at night, especially because I always seem to clench my fists terribly at night. I've been using this every night for over a month (I only remember to wear my day time one some of the time, and with my 3 year old and 1 year old, I often don't keep the day one on for long period of time), and my wrist has almost no pain. I'm amazed. My wrist was so bad that I feared it would give out on my while laying my dear daughter down in her crib, but I don't have that pain anymore. Again, I'm amazed. the brace does an excellent job of stabilizing my wrist, and the cushion helps prevent me from clenching my fists. And surprisingly, because I am only wearing this on my left wrist, it is having a more relaxing effect on my right wrist as well because I don't seem to be clenching it either. This is really comfortable to wear at night, and I feel like I sleep more comfortably as well. I was having neck pain and my arms would fall asleep if I laid on my side, but since wearing this, I don't suffer that nearly at all. I haven't felt like it is too warm to wear either. The fit is excellent and easily adjustable. I highly recommend this for anyone experiencing wrist pain. My wrist has been able to heal so much at night and I'm more than pleased. Read more
I had a severe wrist/thumb injury that seemed slow to heal (~2 months; not much progress, even with daytime splint and medicines). Started wearing this night wrist support every night for the past few weeks, and my injury has improved so much , that I can now type this review. If you have any type of wrist/hand/thumb injury, make sure to treat the injury when you are most vulnerable to re-injuring it--at night time. About the product itself. The outer fabric has a moleskin-like vellum that is soft, yet stretchy. The inner lining fabric is lightweight, breath-able, very smooth soft and stretchy. Sewing inside is excellent--no scratchy or bulky seams that can create dents on the skin. Very comfortable. What I like best about this wrist guard is the bean-bag-type support that runs under the palm. It conforms to the shape of the underside of palm with just the right amount of support--not too stiff, not too pliable. Why is the inner lining fabric and sewing important? If you ever wear a splint for more than a week, you will know how significant the lining material's (a) softness, (b) breathability, (c) sewing seams, can be for comfort. This night guard has inner lining that is breathable, lightweight and soft; not bulky or scratchy. The sewing seams are not scratchy or binding. Very comfortable. There is a metal splint than spans the underside of the support, from wrist to palm. It is surrounded with plenty of soft cushioning, so it won't poke or scratch. In fact, I barely notice its presence, because it is so well cushioned with soft lining. In combination with the bean-bag-like palm support, they form the backbone of this guard. There are 3 straps that allow for some adjustment of the guard. IMO, the most important strap to position correctly is the middle. I attach this strap first, to snug, but not tight fitting. The other two, I leave more loose. Bottom line: if you have any type of wrist/hand/thumb injury, make sure to treat your injury when it is most vulnerable to re-injuring--at night time, with this amazing product. This is has helped heal my injury to where I can now type this review. Read more

Perfect for sleeping; provides great support and stabilizes wrist. Over 25 years of sleep-disrupting carpal tunnel pain resolved with this well engineered brace! Especially good for sleep. May be too bulky and thick for daytime use, but if you have pain, you will understand that bulk is a small trade off for relief. I will update if problems arise in the future, but for now, this brace is very helpful. Pure comfort-- with no awkward angle or awareness of metal plate inside, like other braces often have. UPDATE: After several months use, this brace has my stamp of approval. It is comfortable, and provides great pain relief for (finally!) sleep. Versatile; fits either wrist. Buying this brace ended my search for the perfect one. After using this at night, my wrist is not only protected but improved by morning, with less numbness, tingling and pain during the day. Thickly padded and has achieved optimum positioning to relieve wrist pain without constricting fingers or causing pressure points from internal metal plates as other braces have. This is state of the art! UPDATE: I use it upside down and from the wrong end at times. The interior padding then puts a bit of pressure on wrist when it gets unbearable. Of course it doesn't allow access to finger holes that way. I also use it very far down to cover up fingers almost completely and upside down and from the wrong end at the same time to nearly completely alleviate severe nerve pain in hand/wrist. Read more
