2U2O Compression Reversible Thumb & Wrist Stabilizer Splint(Improved Version) for BlackBerry Thumb, Finger, Pain Relief, Arthritis, Tendonitis, Sprained, Carpal Tunnel, Stable, S-M

Bottom of thumb at wrist broken in a car accident. Shifted everything on pinky side of wrist, elbow and shoulder. Wrist and thumb was immobile for 5 months. Started occupational therapy and with a full brace that immobilized wrist and thumb. Once I had enough mobility to start using my hand, this brace was the perfect step down brace that allowed me enough support in my wrist and thumb to start using my hand and holding more weight than I could before. It does not support my wrist and hand so that I can use it as if nothing was wrong with my wrist and thumb. It is not designed for that. It gives me enough support to start using my hand with limitations and is the perfect step down brace for learning how to reuse my hand correctly. I also found if I am having a lot of pain from over use or arthritis as storms move in, if I use a topical pain reliever under the brace, the brace helps keep the area warm and enhances the ability for the topical pain reliever to work better especially with pain relievers that have capsacin and arnica in them. Always test capsacin on skin first as many people have skin reactions to capsacin. If you can handle the burn of Chile on your skin it is very effective on relieving joint pain. But if the burn on your skin is worse than the joint pain, capsacin will not be the topical pain killer for you. I have also tried it with arnica and hemp which works OK and may be a better topical pain relief under the brace for you if you can't use capsacin. Still trying other topical pain reliefs but wearing them under the brace helps with overall pain. Again this brace is to add support, it is NOT designed to make your hand or wrist work normally or pain free as if nothing was wrong with your hand or wrist. It is not meant to give you full range of motion. It will limit your range of motion and if you try to force it to have full range of motion, it will fall apart quicker. If you use it without taking it off your hand will get worse as your hand will become dependant on it. It is best to use it only when you need extra support. And don't use it the rest of the time. This will also ease the wear and tear on the brace so your brace lasts longer. The more you wear the brace and use it as if there was nothing wrong with your wrist or hand, the faster it will fall apart. Just know if you use it all day everyday and continue your normal activities and try to maintain your complete range of motion, it will fall apart quicker and you will need to replace it more often. I love this brace, ordered two different braces. The other did not give enough support. Saving that one for the next stepdown moment before no brace at all which is my ultimate goal.

I like this brace. I like the long velcro strap that wraps around my wrist twice. My current brace does not do that and the loose end flap bothers me. I found it to be better made and more comfortable than the expensive one I got from my doctor a few years ago. My last brace, which I currently have, cost $125.00 and was paid for by Medicare . I needed another brace for my other hand and Medicare only pays for one brace every five years. I didn't qualify since my last brace was only 3 1/2 years old. This brace is a bargin price. I can't speak for how it holds up over time. I only use my braces at night and occasssionaly during the day when I am in pain. When I use the brace while I am using the lawn mower, or working outside, I cover it with gloves. to keep it clean. Everyone's hand is different. It works well for my needs. I may order another one as a back up.

Good thumb and wrist protection. Also reminds me to be careful.

Very comfortable to wear. Helps to immobilize the thumb joint without stiffness. Does the job well!

This review might only help people with small or slim hands. I have trigger thumb and need support. This brace is easy to use and put on/off. However, it was large on my hand and thumb. It has velcro,, but velcro only tightens one area. So I can pull it uncomfortably tight on the thumb and wrist, but the rest of the brace is loose and sliding around on my hand. I wore it for about 20 minutes to test it out and in that time, I was constantly needing to adjust it since it was sliding around. I think this is a good product for the money and will work fine for many people. But if you have small hands or thin fingers, it might now.

Having been previously misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel, my wrist pain was really tendonitis. The wrist brace with the splint down the middle of the palm to the forearm never eased my pain, nor seemed to keep my wrist in a position that was safe from re-injury. This brace with the 2 splints supporting and partially immobilizing the thumb has done the trick. While wearing the brace, I can lift a heavy box or even sharply rotate a steering wheel without having to grimace in pain. Finally, a real solution for my wrist tendonitis. I've gone ahead and already ordered another for the other wrist.

had to wear this for a year before insurance allowed for surgery. it was comfortable and I was able to work.

Perfect! Previously tried a similar brace from Fitsoon, this one is way better. I love that this brace has great support but is thin and not bulky getting in the way. The thick wrist strap ads nice stability. I have small hands and the small fits me well. I can also still wear my smart watch.

I bought this as I suffered from De Quervain's Tenosynovitis The product helps restrict my thumb movement and aided my recovery. It is comfortable to wear it throughout the day and even while sleeping. The material isn’t meant to be washed and soak in water or detergent. You should use an antibacterial wet wipes to clean if you perspire a lot. I bought a second guard to rotate between the two so I can air the used piece.

Thanks all for the great review - it is indeed very good support for my de quervains! I hope it’ll help me in the long term as I’ve only been wearing it for awhile and I feel the relief already!
