BrownmedIMAK Compression Active Gloves - Compression Gloves for Arthritis & Joint Pain Support - Men's & Women's Fingerless Gloves to Support Circulation - Medium

NOT all body parts react the same to compression apparel, so sometimes this science is trial & error, and a lot of these items on the market are hard to understand, some are frail, some are thick, some are just plain ridicules to trust. That being said. These compression gloves are a lot nicer than I expected. They are soft and thin—which is nice for flexibility. The little silicon grips on the palm and fingers do help at holding things. The fingers go clear up close to my cuticles, so all my fingers are covered rather well which is nice, the thumb is covered to the knuckle. They are double stitched at the finger tips, to ward off any unraveling.I found taking these gloves off was a bit difficult but all compression gloves are. So What I do is I, put my hand into my arm pit close my arm and pull my hand out of the glove. It seems to be pretty easy and is not Pulling the material or stretching the material out and I don't take the chance At accidentally tearing or stretching the fingers. A little preventative maintenance I guess.I am a diabetic so my hands get very cold. These don’t keep my hands as warm as I hoped, But then Diabetics have that problem with just about any glove. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just my body chemistry does not allow for these particular gloves to warm hands completely, they do a little bit though. But they do help with the stiffness and numbing that I have to deal with.I wear the medium gloves. This glove size is as like the Tommy copper gloves, and most Copper Compression gloves. Those are the other two brands that I tried, and by the way they were terrible they come apart like there’s no tomorrow.Here is how you tell what size you wear. NOTE; Always check the size charts they are not all the same.Close your fingers and put the back of your hand down flat on the table.You measure from the first finger to the fourth Pinky finger just under where your fingers stop and your palm begins. Or where your knuckles are on the back your hand. For me it was 3 ¼ inches which is a medium on most size charts. This medium glove has just the right compression for me and they are not too tight and not too loose. Now, some size charts will say 6 inches or 7 inches. So in this situation you would Measure in the same way except you would measure the complete circumference of your hand. Mine is almost 8, which is a medium. Kind of weird huh?In general, if you get a compression that is too tight it will put a large strain on the stitching and too much pressure might make your fingers ache. A lot of people that don’t measure their hands properly will deem the product no good because it fell apart, not realizing that it is simply the wrong fit.Tips for Maximum Relief• Make sure your gloves fit well. If they're too tight or too loose, there's less chance you'll get any benefits from wearing them. Ask your doctor or therapist if you need help with fit.• Stick with the 8-hour at a time rule. You probably won't see any changes if you only wear them for an hour here and there.• If you also have carpal tunnel syndrome, talk to your doctor before you try the gloves. Your carpal tunnel symptoms could get worse if you wear arthritis gloves at night.I hope this information helps anyone interested.

Has taken much pain away in my hands. Only wear at night

I've only used these a few times and they seem to do the job fine, but beware: the instructions for how to determine your size are misleading. The text on the Amazon site says "measure across the palm." I meaured across the center of my palm and as a result, the gloves are a bit too big. They're not unuseable, but lacking the degree of compression I was looking for.You should measure on your palm across the lowest knuckles, where your fingers join your hand. The box the gloves come in have a chart showing what to do. Turns out I fall exactly on the line between small and medium, which is why the gloves feel a little loose. (BTW, I wear "large" in dishwashing gloves -- so by my experience, don't wing it and try to guess your size.)I'm ordering a small pair, and will keep the mediums as a backup pair (or possibly a summer pair, when everything is slightly swollen from humidity).Measure carefully, and you should be fine. The gloves seem well made, are comfortable, and I think the right-size pair will be very helpful.UPDATE: A few other reviewers mentioned having problems with seams splitting, but all six pairs of mine are just fine. I've used these now for 10 months for weight-training at the gym, and they are all in fine shape. Possibly because I have several pair and rotate them, or maybe it's just good luck, but mine are lasting very well.

I have lupus, which (for those who don't know) leads to periodic flares where all my joints are inflamed and painful. I'm also a writer who spends hours at a time typing. I've tried knit fingerless gloves, which don't provide any support and expose too much of my sore fingers, and also some medical compression gloves that are made of neoprene--those made my hands sweat so badly because there was no air circulation AT ALL. These gloves, however, are perfect, offering just a little compression to soothe sore joints, nice retention of warmth while also being breathable (no stank-hands from sweat!), just enough exposure of the fingertips to make typing or using a touch-screen effortless, and the little bit of texture on the palms gives excellent grip. I have bought multiple pairs of these as gifts for just about everyone I know who has arthritis or any other condition that leads to pain in the hands. Cannot recommend them enough.

perfect fit

These gloves are well made and have a good grip design. Be cautious when determining size since these run small and you cannot return this item.

I ordered these according to the recommended size chart, getting myself a medium pair--but when I put them on, they were way too small, cutting into my skin and cutting off circulation to my fingertips. Obnoxiously, I hadn't noticed that you can't return these, so now I'm stuck with compression gloves that don't fit and have to buy new ones. If you want compression gloves, I'd suggest going somewhere else; if you still want these, maybe buy a size up.

The first pair of arthritis gloves I purchased tore at a seam while putting them on (different maker) and I was somewhat reluctant to buy another pair after that experience. Thankfully I decided to try these. I have to admit that my expectations were low, but these gloves are a MIRACLE! For several months I awoke every morning with the finger next the pinkie on my right hand curled into a claw and very painful to straighten. When the middle finger joined the claw I knew I had to do something. Based on reviews I bought these gloves. I wore the right glove to bed the night they arrived and the next morning my fingers were straight, did not require straightening and were considerably less painful!! I was absolutely astonished as was my wife!! I have been wearing the glove nightly ever since and I think the arthritis in that hand has somehow improved. I was so impressed I bought a second pair for backup, just do not want to be without them. Though my left hand is in better shape I often wear the pair during the day just for the warmth and comfort.

Wear these not so much for arthritis as for keyboarding; they are brilliant. Keep hands and wrists warm and leave fingertips free for typing. Never taken them off in winter. Recommend to all keyboard users. Very comfortable, easy to wash, just the right amount of support.

Mi papá los sentía muy apretados, y aunque deben ser ajustados para aumentar la circulación no podía usarlos.

I have advanced Fibromalga . These gloves have a nubby texture on the underside, great for driving and other activities. The cuff is long enough not to roll down your hand. Great support for pain and circulation . I have tried a few. These are my first choice. Handy to have a second pair for laundry times.

Fits well and works as well as they say

Ces gants sont très efficaces en ce qui me concerne. Personnellement je les mets la nuit ce qui fait que le matin je peux (enfin) facilement ouvrir et fermer mes mains sans aucune gêne ni douleur. Mes mains ne sont plus enflées comme elles l'étaient avant que j'utilise ces gants. La circulation du sang est nettement améliorée. Je recommande donc ce produit à toutes les personnes ayant comme moi des problèmes de circulation.
