Review on IMAK® Medium Compression Arthritis Gloves - Premium Relief for Rheumatoid & Osteoarthritis - All-Day Comfort - Commended by The Arthritis Foundation for Ease of Use by Eric Schwalbe

FIRST IMPRESSION I was concerned about how small they looked when I took them out of the box (I ordered according to the size on the box) but they fit perfectly! The fabric of these compression gloves is pleasantly soft. All seams have a strong feel and all seams lie flat so they won't cut into the skin or cause irritation. There is a care label on the inside of the wrist that will likely need to be cut off if it starts to stick together. GENERAL FEEDBACK The gloves were a bit difficult to put on, but that's probably because they're brand new. My hand is just over 3 inches wide at the knuckles so I ordered a size small and it was just the right size. The moment the glove was put on I felt almost immediate relief from the pain in my joints and fingers. The gloves are ambidextrous and non-interchangeable, meaning they fit the thumb properly. I really like how the length of the fingers on the gloves reach this height which provides extra warmth and comfort for the mid and slightly upper knuckles. The open fingertips allow me to type and grip without worry. The wrist opening is sewn with a zigzag stitch, which should help it hold its shape and not stretch too much. The glove drops about 2 inches at the wrist so it supports that joint as well. Because the fabric is mostly cotton, it breathes well and doesn't leave sticky hands. If needed, hand wash in cold water and air dry to prevent them from losing elasticity and shrinking. In cold weather, I sometimes find it difficult to use the mouse and keyboard due to joint pain. joints and wrists. With these gloves I can work comfortably on the computer again and don't have to constantly take anti-inflammatories.
