This brace helped me a lot with a sprained wrist that I just kept reinjuring. The double attachment and stretchy fabric allowed be to get a good fit, and the bend in the insert made it comfortable to wear for long periods. The insert is only on one side so isn't as restrictive but the wide shape was helpful when I wanted that extra support. The fabric is easy to wash and dries quickly. I also like the plastic/leather spot over the insert in the wrist/palm area when I had to push or hold things. The only mild criticism is that the velcro hook side attaches directly to the neoprene fabric and kind of tears it up over time, but it doesn't seem like it's going to wear out anytime soon.

I've had this brace for about a year now, I use it almost nightly, and I'm just now searching for a new brace. It definitely lasted longer than I expected for the price. It stabilizes my wrist and helps with my carpal tunnel. If you're just planning to wear it at night, it's pretty much perfect. However, the brace does have its issues. It gets warm really quickly, and if I wear it on a hot day, the sweat build up will irritate my skin. It also restricts my movements a bit too much. The thumb strap is a little too wide, making it hard to do much with my thumb. Also, the brace covers my entire palm, so I can't really grip anything. After a few months of use, the 'hook' part of the velcro started to get really worn out, making the straps not want to stay in place. I tightened the straps so they'd hit a different place, but now it's getting too tight and I need to get a new brace. Read more

Good product. Fits well (very adjustable), and you can still use your keyboard easily because it straps at the right place. Most wrist braces have very thick straps and prevent you from typing easily, but this one has the right size. Read more

To prevent further wrist pain caring for my baby, I went on a hunt to find a brace/splint for my wrist and thumb. Currently I have minimal-moderate pain and am trying to take preventative measures. These are the ones I tried: Vive Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace- Though it felt comfortable and provided maximal support, my hand began to get hot then itchy within 5-10 minutes of wearing it and just doing some light typing and chores. I returned this item. Rip Toned wrist brace- It's advertised to be used for weightlifting and bodyweight training and I think it's probably best for just that. I wanted to see if I could use it as a wrist brace while doing things around the house and lifting/holding the baby, but I didn't like the thumb loop which sometimes felt like it pulled my thumb back which I think would make texting/mommy thumb worse, but if wearing without the thumb loop, the wrist support would slide down around and not stay around the wrist. I returned this item. Wal-Mart and CVS sold several different types of wrist and/or thumb braces and I was able to try it on in store. I have only worn them a few days, but this is my review of them. FUTURO Performance Comfort Wrist Support, Adjustable- This was my favorite as a minimal-moderate support. Lightweight and not hot nor itchy for general use around the house and to wear while caring for my baby as there were no hard parts and only 1 velcro piece which didn't get stuck to anything. FUTURO™ Compression Stabilizing Wrist Brace- This one was also comfortable, but provided more support than the Performance Comfort as it has a rigid support. however, it's more expensive and a bit more inhibiting but I'm keeping it for now in case I need more wrist support when baby gets heavier. Mueller Thumb Stabilizer- This provides support in thumb and wrist which is nice, but since it has 3 velcro straps, it takes a little longer to take on/off when i want to wash my hands and some of the velcro would get stuck to baby's swaddle or bib. I was able to still pick up and hold baby with the thumb stabilizer, but I found that I would mistype on the keyboard or I would make compensations by lifting my arm up slightly to avoid hitting other keys.

I purchased the left wrist brace although the description states right wrist. It does a wonderful job of immobilizing the wrist joint while still leaving the fingers free to move. Easy to get on - has one larger velcro strap that encompasses the wrist and another, shorter, velcro strap that winds around between the thumb and forefinger. The fit is customizable, however, I find that the thumb strap 'bites' a little when the velcro rubs on the thumb. Pulling it tighter to get the velcro past that point sometimes makes the brace a little too tight. You sweat a little bit under the brace because it is neoprene. I just remove it periodically during the day to let things dry out. Otherwise, this is a very comfortable brace to wear. I lost the use of my hand in a car accident and my doctor wanted me to wear a support that kept my hand from dropping. It does a great job of supporting that joint. Read more
