Wondering how comfortable &amp; the ease of getting it on? Also, would this be helpful for the cmc joint/base of thumb?

It is comfortable and easy to use. I don't know how much it will help with the cmc joint.

I bought it as a gift, so I can't speak from lots of experience but it didn't seem to bad for a fingertip grip when I tried it out. I didn't really know where to put my thumb at first but it's not that much of a change in style for me to complain about it.

Not really sure, but definitely worth a try as some people swear by it. If arthritis is the issue, I also recommend trying exercises, like the kind in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis. Good luck!

Danna I am not sure it would work on the thumb I use mine on the middle largest finger and it has helped to relieve my finger locking If you measure your thumb it is worth a try I went to walmart and they measured my finger that is the key getting the right size. I wish you Good luck Alberta

I'm age 63, and I have joint pain, BUT, I can still use my little can opener. Each person who has problems with their hands might be different. I say buy one and try it, if it causes you pain to use it give it to a family member. They are so reasonable it would be worth the money. I really love them, I carry one in my purse on my key ring.I hope that helps you! Lady Survivalist -

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.

Its not hard to squeeze as long as you don't get into really thick grass. I agree with Dino. after a while it doesn't tend to tweak your hand muscles a bit. It is a great tool though.

I find it very easy and it does provide enlarged text sizes. The in-and-out pinch movements with the fingers are essential so some minimal manual dexterity is essential. Other than that, go for it!

I also have a small hand. This does not cut off circulation but the thumb piece is a bit longer than I would like. It extends past the knuckle on my thumb, making it hard to write and type with my right hand. It does help with the pain of de quervain's, though, so I wear it as much as I can.

I think it has helped me with my hand cramping. There is a holder for your index finder so it doesnt have to constantly rest on the L&R; top buttons. The grip is big and comfortable, but not hard. More like those therapy balls you can squeeze. In my opinion I think its better than no grip and any current grip out there.

YES, you could put it on your thumb, but they don't offer much support. it would be good padding though and it would keep your thumb warm. It would also provide some pressure but not sure if it would be enough to help swelling if your thumb was recently displaced

It gives better leverage and is easier to release with your thumb without moving your hand around the grip. It is more of a comfort thing than a tactical advantage.

Yes, for me it does. The base of my thumbs is exactly where my problem lies. The non slip pad to set jars on helps as well, so I don't have to grip as hard with my other hand.

What I found on this highly annoying issue is that the button is too small for my thumb. But the symptom should appear when trying to start too. The work around is to build up the button to make it easier to push. I've used trimmed rubber bumper pads, but I'm thinking a drop or two of some kind of glue might be better.

It took a few weeks to get used to it but I LOVE the fact that it does not hurt my hip/back. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis it is has made a huge difference. I also love the fact that it is warm when you get into it. I look forward to going to bed. The warmth has helped me with the pain as well. I believe you will really enjoy it.

TRY it! It fits differently depending on your size. I wish I had 1 years ago. I can only say try it, you'll feel much better. I have arthrits pinching nerves in my neck, I use it all the time.
