Review on πŸ”§ Adjustable Reversible Professional Tendonitis Protection by Adam Tidd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfortable, cute, supportive brace

I use this brace for radial pain (upper forearm, thumb, about 2-3 inches from wrist). Nowadays I also wear them with a tennis brace on my elbow because after my third child and almost 30 years this body has become a disaster. This brace gives me the support I need to stop the stabbing pain, but since it doesn't cover my hand, it hardly interferes with my daily activities, such as teaching and caring for young children. This would NOT be good if you were using an orthosis that would not allow your hand/wrist to move. Rather, it is about supporting muscles and ligaments without restricting mobility. Yes, it all smelled like plastic/chemicals as others have mentioned when I opened the package which btw had 2 staples. But I just put it right on and honestly, until I put my hand to my face I can't smell it. A person with less pain could take the time to wash, but I needed it as soon as possible. I have medium to large hands and I would say it fits very well. On the outside there is Velcro (Velcro) along the entire length, so a person with small or large hands can easily adjust it. The pink color is very pleasant. I would say that this is a beautiful color, not medicinal. None of the bindings around the edges hurt or chafed, which is nice because the other brace I wore, the traditional one with a metal splint covering my palm, really irritated my skin. It's very easy to put on with one hand because you just wrap it and press down. It's also light and not too bulky, I can easily pull a hoodie sleeve over it. Oh, and should I mention, my instinct from previous experiences was that I wouldn't put it on properly, so the material covered my palm. Then it was not convenient, and I was afraid that it would not work. BUT THEN I read the instructions and looked at the test photos (yes!) and found support immediately after assembly! My only complaint is how tight it is to wear, and that's a user issue.

Pros
  • UNIQUE DESIGN
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
