Received gloves today. Ordered size according to size chart. Put them on as directed. Not as "pretty" but functional. Hoping they are more comfortable. When I had hand OT my therapist said all compression gloves should be seams out to prevent irritation. Will let you know if this works. Update: with the seams turned out these are AWESOME gloves. No more hand pain at night.

My 86 year old dad has arthritis in his hands and I got him these compression gloves. He LOVES these gloves, wears them every day. He says they are "perfect," which is amazing. I'm ordering him another pair.

Of the 4 different types of compression gloves I've purchased, these are my favorite. The fingers extend almost the full length of mine rather than constructing my knuckles with the stitching that finishes the fingers. They don't shed like some I've used, nor are they cool on the hand like some others I've had- after all, in winter and that little extra bit of warmth is welcome. They're also not too thick so as to impair handling small objects like another type I've tried.

Well, im as skeeptical as they come; i bought these gloves due to my very painful arthrtis in my hands that often keeps me awake nights. I have read about compression and copper and how there is no scientific proof as to its pain relieving qualities; however I had become desperate for relief. When I received them I put them on that very evening while watching TV. As the night went on my hands felt betterbut I didnt give the gloves nuch credence. I have now been wearing them each night for the last week and am convinced they have made a difference in my level of pain and discomfort. I dont understand how they work or if its just psychological but I'll take it! I would have given 5 stars but its only been a week. If it continues toelp I will come back and update. Make sure if you order these that you get the proper size and measure your hands as they instruct. If you guess you could get the wrong size and lose any benefit you would otherwise receive. Its critical to the success of the gloves. Thanks and good luck to you!

I don't know if I can speak for these. I didn't buy them for arthritis. I had a severe hand pain and inflammation around the pinky side of my hand from excessive drawing on my graphic tablet. I thought these would help, but they ended up making the pain worse so I had to stop wearing them. I thought that maybe it'd help wrist pain that was acumulating, but I got the smallest size and althought it fit snug around the hand, it was still loose around the wrist. No straps or anything to tighten it either. Granted, I'm knows for my thin wrists So it's more so my body than the manufacturer. So, they didn't suit my purpose, but maybe they'll suit someone with an actual artheritis case?
