Review on Vive Hand Massager Black Teal by Andrea Gleason

I was able to test a pair of them. I love her because I have a genetic problem that causes weakness and cramps in my arms. It's amazing for her. But this one is probably my second favorite for only one main reason - there's only one "sleeve" you can put your hand in, and the air pressure pushes my thumb one way and my pinky the other, so it's only one Air pressure massage on my middle three fingers, palm and wrist. I tried to get my pinky and thumb to "get in" but they popped back out. My favorite handheld massager has a 6-finger glove that you put your hand in instead of a sleeve. Each finger and thumb is massaged individually. There is a tunnel for the 6th finger as the outer two are for the thumbs depending on which hand you are using. Heat on it is good! The heat comes on quickly and is a good temperature that feels more like gentle warmth than warmth. I wish it was a bit hot but that's just my preference (I'm also a person who likes boiling hot showers). There is no way to control the temperature - the heater just turns on or off. Vibration has 2 settings. Both are concentrated on the left. For my right hand, the thumb and forefinger and the left side of the palm, so feel the vibrations of the left hand and vice versa. The vibration can be pulsating or constant. There are multiple intensity settings and modes. You just have to try all the different modes. #1 seems to focus on my fingers. #4 is my favorite as it focuses on my wrist. #5 is my second favorite, it almost rolls from fingers to wrist. Overall, this is a great handheld massager. My biggest complaint is that my thumb and pinky get pushed to the side. This probably won't be a problem for those with small hands, or maybe big hands that fill the entire space. I wear size L gloves - I have big hands for a woman.
