Pros:

• "This wrist brace is sturdy and keeps your wrist at just the right angle for a pain-free night's sleep."

Cons:

• "The only thing is after a few hours, it starts to dig into my skin and I've got to take them off."
• "The brace seems too small or the supports seem out of place, even though I measured as instructed."
• "I have hEDS and this is the most uncomfortable brace that I have ever owned."
• "This is comfortable on the wrist, but doesn’t stabilize the thumb. Wearing it caused me sharp pain and injury in the joint where the thumb connects to the wrist."

Design and Quality

Pros:

• "I’ve had several and this one really stays put without coming undone as some do."
• "Per my doctor's recommendation, I purchased this for tennis elbow and it has really helped. The brace is well made and comfortable."
• "I am really impressed with the quality of construction for such a low price."

• "It is comfortable, easy to put on by yourself and it keeps your hand secured."
• "Using this brace has made a huge difference for me!"
• "I love the fit and I am able to sleep comfortably with them and they truly help with the carpal tunnel."

Cons:

• "Would be 5 stars but the velcro stopped holding after 2 months."
• "After a month or so of moderate use, the Velcro straps stopped holding well."
• "I have owned around 4 or 5 of these now and the only issue I have is that the Velcro on them wears out fairly fast."
• "The Velcro straps almost always pull out of their slits when I take it off."
• "The size chart is useless... it is BARELY large enough to engage the velcro."
• "Both hook and loop strips stretch out, making it difficult to make the brace tight enough."
• "Within a few days the velcro straps stopped fastening, rendering the brace useless."

Size and Sizing

Pros:

• "I was worried that the small/medium it would be too small. I followed the recommend size for my wrist circumference and it worked great."
• "I wear this all the time when my wrist starts to give me issues from constant use or the cold."
• "I ordered the small/medium with a slightly under 7 inch wrist and it fit me well."
• "This product is true to size and it makes my wrist feel really good after being in so much pain."
• "This is a brace we bought from my daughter when she fractured her wrist. She needed something on it to help after she got the cast off. This is perfect."
• "The thumb hole is also a generous fit so that it doesn’t rub or irritate."
• "The L/XL is a very good fit and comfortable."

Cons:

• "I measured my wrist and it was 7 1/2” so I bought the medium size based on the chart. It was too small, so I returned it and got the Lg/XL size. It barely fits."
• "I can't understand how someone would design this brace so that a raised seam would press into the soft area between the thumb and forefinger."
• "The palm spoon is down at the heel of my hand and the thing grates against my thumb all the way around."
• "The thumb hole is one of the smallest I have encountered on a brace. It has pressed in on my thumb at night and caused numbness."
• "The fingers are flexible while it holds the wrist in a steady position. It may not help improving the pain, but it definitely helps in typing and using the mouse."
• "I have worn a pair of these every night for the last few years to protect my wrists and I've loved them. I recently purchased a new pair and was very disappointed that the same product is now 1/4 inch smaller and now digs into the skin at the base of my thumb."
• "Smaller than expected... NOT RETURNABLE... & Cannot exchange."
