Product Reviews of Isotoner Therapeutic Gloves
Product Review: Not Enough
Summary: 2 Stars
First, the mail order company sent these quickly, no problem with them.
I looked around at several sites for information on this product. You can get better pricing if you do your research. Most sites have some sizing info but not enough and not detailed. I do not have 'teeny' hands and have long fingers with a big palm. Ring size is 6 1/2. I measured and came up with a 'medium' recommendation, picked a size smaller (small), and was still disappointed in the fit - too loose fitting to be of help.
I am an active person. I sew, garden, and work clay handbuilding, although my knuckles can get swollen, mostly they just hurt after hard work. My hands are not at the stage where fingers are twisted or really swollen. I wanted something to aid and support when I am working to manage swelling. Decided to get the 'real' thing with support gloves. The 'small' size is still not a good fit. They have a 'little' squeeze to them but not enough to actually be helpful and supportive to the muscle when you are doing a great deal of handwork (sewing, gardening).
The open tips might be nice for finger work but if they slip down too far to be of help to upper knuckles its no good. Mind you, I'm not looking for something that makes my fingers go red because of closed off circulation! But if they slip down into the finger wells they aren't much use. The material itself is thin enough for comfort. I'm typing with them on right now.
I sewed the seams tighter and that helped a 'bit'. I may try other brands but this is just not enough support for me.
Product Review: Worthwhile investment
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always looking for a non-drug aid for my arthritis. I mainly use them while sleeping were it is worse first thing in the morning. I have found an absolute difference. It's amazing how something this simple can have such a tremendous effect. Highly recommend.Product Review: great gloves
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried a small and a medium because I was unsure of which size that was right for me. I didn't notice much difference in the compression between the two, but the medium had longer fingers which was very important to me because it fully covered the knuckle of my thumb. After wearing the gloves for two days, my thumb has stopped throbbing.
