Review on 🧤 IMAK Compression Active Gloves, Medium - Complete Relief for Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, Joint Pain, Rheumatoid Support - Fingerless Compression Gloves for All-Day Comfort by Ulysses Fincher

NOT all parts of the body react equally to compression garments so sometimes it's trial and error science and many of these items on the market are difficult to understand, some are fragile, some are thick, some are just one trusting mockery. What, as they say. These compression gloves are way better than I expected. They are soft and thin, which is good for flexibility. Small silicone grips on the palm and fingers help hold objects. The fingers are snug against my cuticles so all my fingers are fairly well covered which is nice, the thumb is closed to the knuckle. They are double stitched at the fingertips to prevent fraying. I found these gloves to be a bit difficult to remove, but all compression gloves are tough. So I put my hand in my armpit, close my hand and take my hand out of the glove. It seems pretty easy and I don't pull or stretch the material and I don't run the risk of accidentally tearing or spraining my fingers. I think it's a little preventive. I am diabetic so my hands get very cold. They don't keep my hands as warm as I'd hoped, but diabetics have this problem with almost any glove. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that my body chemistry doesn't allow these gloves to fully warm my hands, even if just a little. But they do help with the stiffness and numbness I'm struggling with. I wear medium sized gloves. This glove size is similar to Tommy's copper gloves and most copper compression gloves. These are two other brands I've tried and by the way, they were terrible, they fell apart like there was no tomorrow. How to determine what size you wear. A NOTICE; Always check the size charts, they are not all created equal. Interlace your fingers and place the backs of your hands on the table. You measure from the first finger to the fourth little finger, just below where the fingers end and the palm begins. Or where the knuckles are on the back of the hand. For me it was 3 ¼ inches, which is average on most size charts. These medium sized gloves have the perfect amount of compression for me, neither too tight nor too loose. Now some size charts say 6 inches or 7 inches. So in this situation, you measure the same way, except you measure the full circumference of your arm. I have almost 8, average. A bit strange, isn't it? In general, too much compression puts a lot of stress on the seams, and too much pressure can cause pain in the fingers. Many people who don't measure their hands correctly find the product unusable because it falls apart without realizing that it just doesn't fit. Tips for Maximum Relief • Make sure your gloves fit well. If they're too tight or too loose, you probably won't get any benefit from wearing them. Ask your doctor or therapist if you need help fitting. • Stick to the 8-hour rule. You probably won't notice any change if you only wear them for an hour now and then. • If you also have carpal tunnel syndrome, talk to your doctor before trying on gloves. Your carpal tunnel symptoms may get worse if you wear arthritis gloves at night. I hope this information helps anyone interested.
