Gel Thumb Support

Best

Loved these. They helped me with my wrist and thumb :)

Helps with swelling

My thumb has been quite painful and swollen, so I began wearing the brace at night. It has helped with the swelling and is not cumbersome as some braces are.

Just right when you need more compression

These are great for daytime wear, very comfortable. To me they have medium compression (average size hand) and help with twinges that I can get with weather changes in my CMC joint. I can't wear them at night as the tip of my thumb goes numb. Also because they are silicone they do make for sweaty hands. But I find that wearing them for a couple hours works well. As others mentioned, you have to figure out your personal trick for getting them on and off.
