VELPEAU Elastic Thumb Wrist Support Brace Pack of 2 Splashproof Compression Sleeve for Arthritis Pain Tendonitis Sprains Sports

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. Read more

I had a laceration injury on the side of my hand just above the thumb, and the urgent care used an ace bandage to hold the dressing in place. This worked fine for a day while resting, but at work it moved around and wasn't working for me. Saw this support and ordered it and it worked perfectly to hold the dressing in place and as a bonus to help the swelling. There was 2 in the pack, which meant that when one got dirty I could change over to the other one while I washed the first one and let it dry . I washed it with a nail brush and some soft soap and it came up like new and dried perfectly. I had no allergic reaction to it, and no irritation. Its not particularly supportive, but it's perfect to hold a dressing in place and protect it from dirt and water. Read more

Not what I thought it would be. Very comfortable. Way to wear. But lacks support. Exactly what I bought it for. 🙃 Read more

Good product, but the one I bought was too small, they didn't have an XL, it works good, but is tight. Read more

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.

Got this to support a basketball player's previously injured thumb. It seemed so flimsy when I opened the package, so I put it on myself to see if it would even help—it's way more supportive than it seems and he says it really does help. Gives additional support to the thumb joint while still allowing all the necessary movement. This was for a small-to-medium hand, and reviews said they run large so we got a small and it was a perfect fit. Read more

Cuts off circulation to the tip of your thumb and does not provide the support as advertised. Read more

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. Read more
