Customer Reviews of Wellgate for Women Slimfit Wrist Support, Right
Customer Review: Good support but cannot do anything with it on
Summary: 3 Stars
The palm side with Velcro is so bulky that I cannot type on computer without creating typos for every single word. It provides good support to a wrist but I cannot wear it in daytime because it limits my movement and lowers productivity at work. For the durability of it, I do not know yet since I receive it today.Customer Review: Spend a little bit more money to get the right thing.
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this wrist brace to be uncomfortable for 2 reasons:
1. The thumb hole was too small and dug into my hand.
2. The brace itself was a little large. Adjusting it as tight as it would go to fit my wrist caused the seams to start to come undone. And, it caused the thumb hole to dig in deeper.
I'm 5'8" and 130 lbs to give you perhaps, an idea of the scale of my hands. I wear a size M in medical gloves. I have RSI/tendonitis (not Carpal Tunnel) from typing too much on a macbook keyboard. This brace offered mild relief but also caused a moderate amount pain on its own. So in the end not really worth it.
I ended up buying the Women's Futuro wrist support from Target because it wasn't available on Amazon. The Futuro one is also grey, which is nicer/ more subtle than the black ones which are more suitable for males. I tried the black Futuro "unisex?" small; ugly and too large. The women's one is very soft, very flexible, very comfortable, very supportive.
So spend a little bit more and get yourself the right thing the first time.
Also, if you're like me, do yourself a favor and fix the root of the problem by getting an ergonomic keyboard.
Customer Review: It would be perfect if it came in different sizes
Summary: 2 Stars
This would be a nearly-perfect wrist brace if it fit correctly. Unfortunately, it is a little bit too small for my arms. It fits reasonably well around my hand but just barely closes around my (somewhat muscular, but not extremely large) forearm. Because of this, the whole thing just sits a little bit wrong.
The item says that it is "designed to fit women", but I would alter that to say that it's designed to fit small women. It seems to be treated as a one-size-fits all item, which it definitely is not.
Other than that, it's well-made and comfortable.
Customer Review: better than nothing, not great
Summary: 2 Stars
I lost my originally prescribed wrist brace so I bought one of these. It is definitely inferior. The thing I noticed most after purchase is the length. My old one was longer, came to approximately half way down my forearm. This one is sufficient but not the best. It would work better while doing activities since it still allows movement. Assists but doesn't proved enough relief from carpal tunnel.Customer Review: Made matters worse
Summary: 1 Stars
I was going through physical therapy for elbow tendonitis when I started having symptoms in the middle of my forearm with finger movement. Puzzled by these new symptoms, my physical therapist suggested I get a wrist brace, which I did. Almost immediately the pain increased just at the base of where the brace ended on my arm. I abandoned use of it within less than 24 hours. The pain improved but did not go away. So I bought a night time wrist brace that also immobilizes the fingers to a certain degree and comes up much further on my arm. It is put out by Creative Comfort and is called a crafter's brace. I have been wearing it a minimum of 8 hours out of every 24 and limiting my typing. The pain is all but gone now. Very rarely do I feel it unless I spend too much time on my computer.
So I would say, if your pain is in the middle of your forearm rather than closer to elbow or wrist, then you need a brace that is much longer than one of these or you may aggravate your symptoms more.
