The thumb support made for knitters

I’ve played guitar since I was seven. I’m 71 now, and lately my thumb has been going so numb that after a while I couldn’t hold my pick. I tried cortisone shots. They helped for a while, but after a few weeks the problems came back, often worse than before. I was running out of options and decided to try these. In short, they’ve been an enormous help to me. Now I can play for as long as I like without my thumb going numb!

I just wanted to say the thumb support arrived today. I love knitting and have recently taken up crochet, but I have arthritis in my right thumb. I was skeptical about whether it would make any difference. I was wrong. It has changed a lot for me. Thank you so much. I can knit and crochet for hours without pain. It’s amazing.

I’ve been quilting for over 50 years and have had surgery on my thumb twice. These gloves are fantastic. They don’t get in the way when I sew, and they give me the support I need. Every quilter should have at least one pair. The colors are lovely too. I bought the purple ones.

I wear one on my left hand. It has always been the weaker one and gets hurt easily for no obvious reason. The support really helps! I gave the right one to a friend who has problems with that hand. I’m very pleased and highly recommend them.

I got the gloves two days ago, and they really are good. I’m very pleased. They make a big difference to how much I enjoy my knitting. I also want to mention that the service I received was outstanding. I’m 90 and had messed up my order. I got in touch, and within a few hours you had straightened everything out and refunded what I had overpaid. Thank you so much for your help and the wonderful service.

In January last year I had three surgeries on my hand. I didn’t think I’d be able to crochet comfortably again and wasn’t sure about trying the glove. I was genuinely surprised by the support it gave, and I could crochet for longer. Thank you for making this product. Keep up the good work!

I wear the gloves on both hands when I knit and do cross-stitch. They keep my thumb joints warm and supported, so I can keep going for longer. It’s wonderful! I’m looking forward to finishing more projects without painkillers or breaks.

I bought one pair first and wear them every day. That’s why I bought another pair, so I have one to wear while the other is in the wash. I really appreciate the pain relief. Thank you.

These actually work really well for pianists! They don’t get in the way and let my fingers and wrists move freely. My only issue is that I have very small hands, so I probably don’t get as much support as most people. Even so, they make playing much less painful.

I wore mine all day yesterday. I thought they’d be too soft to help, but they weren’t. They worked really well. My adult daughter asked what they were. Before I could answer, she said, “I know – Hurty Hand gloves!” They really do help, thank you.

Before, I couldn’t knit without pain, and if I kept going anyway, it hurt for days after. Now I can knit for an hour without pain with the gloves on. If it does hurt later, it helps to wear them while I rest from knitting.

I have several types of arthritis, and my hands are often very painful. These supports have been a great help. They’re comfortable enough to wear all the time, even when I’m typing. It was so lovely to finally be able to knit again this weekend.

I’m so glad I bought these! My thumb doesn’t hurt anymore when I crochet, and the customer service is great. One of the gloves had a hole in it when it arrived. They sent me a new one, and it arrived after just a few days.

This support is perfect. It fits well and almost completely takes away the pain in my thumb and wrist, while still leaving me enough movement to knit, crochet and do other things that need my thumb. It’s light and comfortable even when it’s hot and humid outside.

These thumb supports are very comfortable when I sew. I quilt, do cross-stitch and have arthritis in my thumbs. The support helps to ease the pain.

It seems to help the sore thumb on the hand I strum with. I have a bit of arthritis there, but the effect may not be quite as big as I’d hoped. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks, so it’s probably too early to judge the longer-term effect. All in all, I recommend the product, because I can tell a difference.

Before I found these supports, severe pain limited my guitar playing to 20–30 minutes a day. I often had to rest for several days after. After just five days of use, I’ve already been able to play for a full hour without any pain or soreness later.

I’ve been using the thumb support for about a week. Now I can knit with thick yarn and large needles completely pain-free. I’ve had severe pain in my hand for a long time, but this little support has taken it away by stabilizing my thumb joint. It’s been a lifesaver for me!

After breaking my wrist, I developed de Quervain’s tenosynovitis in my right thumb. The glove is the only thing that eases the pain. It’s so simple you can hardly believe it will work, but it does! Worth every penny.

I find I wear these thumb supports almost all day and night, whether I’m knitting or not. They’re soft and give a gentle warmth that eases the discomfort in my hands. I’ve tried other thumb supports, but they were uncomfortable and restricted my movement too much. These are wonderful.

I’m 66 and have only just started playing. After a couple of months, the joint at the base of my thumb started to hurt. Other supports were too tight, and I couldn’t grip the neck of the guitar with them. I was hesitant because this one is neither tight nor stiff – it just has a pad over the joint. Now I hardly notice it when I play. Before, I couldn’t play without pain.

I tried both right away. When I used my left hand, which is the one I have trouble with, I felt more confident because I didn’t get the pain and discomfort I had before. Shipping was fast considering the package came from the other side of the world, and the quality is very good. Ordering something from a Facebook ad can be risky, but not this time.

I have severe arthritis and very sore thumbs. These gloves have helped me with everyday tasks. They’re light and very comfortable. Other supports I have use Velcro straps around the wrist that catch on everything. The knitted fabric makes these perfect for everyday wear.

The thumb support has helped with the pain I got from playing guitar. I keep the gloves on while I play. They keep my hands and wrists warm, and I can feel a bit of support in my thumb. It’s the only product I’ve tried that does that without getting in the way of my playing.

I have arthritis around the thumb joints in both hands. I used to use ibuprofen gel when I played, but now I’ve swapped it for these gloves. They’re comfortable, support my hands well and let me play for longer. I’m very happy.

The thumb support is very comfortable! We originally bought it for my wife, who knits and crochets. I tried it on by chance and discovered it was great for piano practice during the cold winter we’ve had. The team responds quickly and is very helpful.

I’ve tried several products for the arthritis in my thumb, but these are by far the best! My hands relax as soon as I put them on. I mostly wear them at night, especially after a tough strength workout.

I’ve tried lots of different things, and these are the very best. I forget I’m wearing them. I’ve just ordered two more sets. They really help with the pain in my thumb and the joint in my hand.

This is the best thing I’ve tried. I crochet and do cross-stitch. Without them, the pain in my left thumb really holds me back. I like the thumb support so much. Thank you.

I’m not completely pain-free, but I noticed a difference right away. Much better. Highly recommended. I’ve tried lots of hand and thumb supports. Nothing comes close to this one.

They fit well. I was worried they’d be too big. They’re well made and sit so nicely around the thumb and down to the wrist. My hands don’t hurt the way they used to. I’m very pleased. I hesitated at first, but I’m glad I bought them.

I bought the gloves to reduce the pain when I knit, but I wear them even more when I’m playing PlayStation. They’re so comfortable that I keep forgetting to take them off when I’ve finished my crafting. Thank you, I love them!

I knit a lot, but decided to try crocheting a granny square blanket. The movements are different, and my right thumb started to hurt. The thumb support is perfect. I bought two pairs – one by my armchair and one in my project bag.

For the first time in a long time, I had NO PAIN during a gig! I’d be happy to test some in XL if you’d like reviews of them.

It helped from the moment I put it on. Even after a full day of knitting, I had none of my old pain in the thumb joint. I love this product!

These gloves are fantastic. The very first time I used them, my thumb stopped hurting while I was knitting. I wish I’d found them sooner!

This is the second pair I’ve bought for myself, plus two pairs for my older sister. They’re comfortable and support my thumbs well when I crochet or do other crafts.

I can’t explain why the thumb support makes my thumb feel better, since it doesn’t restrict movement. The swelling and pain haven’t gone down yet, but my thumb feels supported and stays warm. It’s less of a nuisance than a rigid wrist brace. I work outdoors with animals.

I was looking forward to trying the product, as I have arthritis in both thumbs. Last night I wore the supports while playing the violin for over two hours. My fingers could move freely, and the supports didn’t get in the way. Unfortunately, they were a bit too big for my hands.

I was surprised by how well the product supported my thumbs. The joint pain I used to feel when knitting has more or less gone. I’d have liked a slightly snugger fit around the thumbs, especially on the left hand, where it’s quite loose. I’m going to take in the seam myself.

I’m not entirely sure how much they actually stabilize, but they wrap sore thumbs nicely and leave my fingers free for crafting.

I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to put them on. Once I got the hang of it, they were very comfortable, and they seem to have helped with the ache in my thumbs.

I ordered a medium, and they’re nice. I think they run a little large, so now I know a small would probably have been better. I like that they’re breathable.

Keeping the area warm and mobile makes a difference. I’m not sure how much support they give, but the warmth feels soothing and lets me keep going for longer.

The woman I dealt with, Emma Taylor, was very helpful and pleasant. I recommend both the product and the lovely follow-up after my purchase – that’s rare these days.

Much less pain when I play. I was skeptical, but very pleasantly surprised.

The new support seems to help, but I still have some trouble. I’ve had arthritis for about a year, and an arm injury made the pain worse. I can knit, but I have to take breaks. I don’t always know whether the pain comes from knitting or something else entirely. I do have some pain-free spells, and that’s a positive.

I’ve received the gloves, but unfortunately I think I should have ordered a smaller size. They’re easy to put on, but they don’t give the support I’d hoped for.

I notice a slight improvement in my thumb pain when I play guitar. It still fits more loosely than I expected. Hoping it helps over time.

Small is too big. There was no extra small. I’ve had to make a few adjustments to be able to wear it. The quality and workmanship are very good, though.

I ordered a large, but now I think I should have chosen a medium. It sits a little loosely on my hand, and I don’t feel it has given my thumb joint much support when I knit.
