VELPEAU Elastic Thumb Support Brace Liner (Pack of 2) - Waterproof Soft Thumb Compression Sleeve Protector for Relieving Pain, Arthritis, Joint Pain, Tendonitis, Sprains, Sports (Medium)

Seems well made. Applies some compression to lower thumb area to help prevent pain from strained thumb. The longer version extends further up wrist but that may get in the way of a wristwatch strap. If the wrist brace is smoothly installed, a watch may fit over the brace since the brace material is thin. The brace seems to wash & dry easily but may be bothersome if it gets wet while washing hands.

Following joint replacement surgery on base of thumb 3 months ago, I was still transitioning from bulky splints. But I still needed some gentle support and some compression to keep swelling down. This is working perfectly for this purpose, and support splint use is almost eliminated. What is really nice is that the sleek profile means I can just slip the splint over it for temporary extra support. This is a well made product. The only issue is determining size needed. My hands usually need a men’s large for gloves. But if I want a tight fit, I buy mediums. I bought size medium and guessed right. It was a tight fit, but support and compression were perfect.

I originally read this as a soft brace itself- which it is not. It is not supportive or bracing in the least. But as a liner, it's perfect! It helps a GREAT deal when wearing an unlined brace, which most of mine are. Ah, the relief from that pinching velcro closure! You get two, and I have lost one, but I use the heck out of that one and I am probably going to buy more. Be warned that the flesh tone color stains/dirties easily and does not wash out as I hoped it would. So don't cut tomatoes with this on alone, it will stain. (That sounds like a "d'uh!" thing but this liner is so comfy I forget I have it on or just get too lazy to take it off. It has a nice feel!) Also, I have no idea how it is waterproof- I'd say it is not. I'm not sure what that claim even means in conjunction with this. I mean, if you get it wet, it's wet. But never mind that, it does everything else super well, is very comfortable, and makes life better if you wear a brace. Amen.
