Best I've tried
First, a little background: I have carpal tunnel from too much time on the computer, and have been told that for the foreseeable future I'll need to wear braces whenever I'm at the computer, driving, or sleeping. So . . . pretty much all the time. I had a pair from the grocery store for a long time, but they were cumbersome, the velcro scratched me at night, and they got unbearably stinky (even with repeated washing). My hands are on the large side for women - I wear a medium in latex gloves - and my wrists are fairly slim.
These braces are GREAT. I've had one for each side that I've worn 18-20 hours a day for 2 months now. They are lower-profile than most braces - barely noticeable under long sleeves. They don't come up as high in your palm so they are less in the way. They are perfectly comfortable to type in and keep your wrists in place with just a touch of wiggle room. They do get dingy after a while, being white and light grey, and when I tried washing them on gentle cycle, one of them had some of the stitching tear out - so maybe you should stick to hand-washing, like the instructions say. Another bonus is that there is no exposed hard surface, so I can rest them on my brand-new laptop while typing without fear of scratching it, and no exposed scratchy velcro, which is much more pleasant for me and my husband while sleeping.
I like these braces enough that I'm done shopping around. I'm ordering my second pair now! (the originals still have some life in them, I just want a second pair as backups).
BEST WRIST BRACE EVER!!!
BUY THIS BRACE IF YOU HAVE A SMALL WRIST & HAND. Best wrist brace ever, if you're a petite person with a smaller hand and wrist than most people, this is the only brace for you. It's shorter than the usual braces found everywhere and I couldn't be more happier! So, I've ordered extra ones to have just in case Amazon stops offering these for sale. I promise you'll love these braces for carpal tunnel or any other wrist problems.
Spend a little bit more money to get the right thing.
I found this wrist brace to be uncomfortable for 2 reasons:
1. The thumb hole was too small and dug into my hand.
2. The brace itself was a little large. Adjusting it as tight as it would go to fit my wrist caused the seams to start to come undone. And, it caused the thumb hole to dig in deeper.
I'm 5'8" and 130 lbs to give you perhaps, an idea of the scale of my hands. I wear a size M in medical gloves. I have RSI/tendonitis (not Carpal Tunnel) from typing too much on a macbook keyboard. This brace offered mild relief but also caused a moderate amount pain on its own. So in the end not really worth it.
I ended up buying the Women's Futuro wrist support from Target because it wasn't available on Amazon. The Futuro one is also grey, which is nicer/ more subtle than the black ones which are more suitable for males. I tried the black Futuro "unisex?" small; ugly and too large. The women's one is very soft, very flexible, very comfortable, very supportive.
So spend a little bit more and get yourself the right thing the first time.
Also, if you're like me, do yourself a favor and fix the root of the problem by getting an ergonomic keyboard.
Works for bigger gals, too. Not well-constructed.
I was worried about this fitting since it's a "slimfit" style and I'm a bigger girl, but it was the one I wanted to try. Thankfully, it does fit (I've uploaded a closer pic of their size guide). That said, it IS a wrist brace so it's not entirely comfortable--and it does affect my typing somewhat...but for most every day stuff like emptying the dishwasher or changing diapers, it's just fine. And on the plus side, it does keep my wrist from moving, which is what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, after one afternoon of wearing, the stitching was already coming apart on the palm side (see photo) so this will be returned. I think a sturdier stitch (instead of a wide zig-zag) might help the issue. I might try this one again, but I might try another brand first.
Wrist brace
After breaking my wrist and being in a cast, then moving to a heavy duty brace, this was my next step...perfect!
