I have small hands and if bumped even with the cool comfort brace I use now is screaming pain.. I need a brace with bump protection how is this?

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.

truthfully, if your hands are that bad & in pain if bumped....you need to see an orthopedic hand specialist. I don't think type of brace will help. good luck!

This does have a little more stability and holds your hands tighter and more stiff. I have small hands and wrists myself and this worked great for me. Also with my experience, You can return it very easily if its not a good fit for you.

The brace itself doesn't make the pain when bumping your wrist alot less. There is still significant "electrocuting" pain radiating to my forearm but it is somewhat bearable when I am wearing this.

Sorry, no bump protection. It's light, very comfy,does not impede the wrist too much. It can immobilize the thumb, slightly brace your wrist, and even remind you to take it easy, but it does not protect against bumps.

The Mueller brace Protects my thumb from bending,it is great for that,it is inforced with Metal thumb Splints.

I like this because it is light but firm. I need the firmness therefore the bumping is not easily felt. For the price it is worth a try. It fits either hand is what I like best.

This brace has a hard material along the outside of the thumb, which might protect you from pain. However, depending on the type of injury you have, the hard material might also cause pain if bumped. I suggest that you buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, return it. I believe if you say the reason for return is that the product does not work, your return shipping is free. You might check that with Amazon first.

It keeps the thumb stiff but not well padded. just a velcro strip on outside.

I'm sure because it adjusts to a pretty small circumference. The other reason you are going to want this band is simply for shock protection is the tiny ipod. I either felt like I was going to lose or drop it.

It is stiffer than the older one I had, springier I guess. Surprisingly enough, my thumb is doing fine and I use it a lot. I have not had to use my wrist / thumb brace at all that I can remember with it. It also may have to do with the scroll ring which I really like and use more and more instead of holding down the button to scroll. Maybe you just need to use it for a few days to see. Hope this helps. :)

I actually purchased this brace for my son for skiing. He is very happy with it. Says it's comfortable and works well for him and he goes skiing almost every weekend.Hope this helps!

I have worn this brace intermittently, and have never had any issues with swelling or rashes. Make sure you order the correct size, it does fit snuggly... But the support it offers is amazing. I'm suffering from achellies issues right now and the moment I put this on, my pain is gone... Ordering another one tonight for my right foot.

It does not return fingers to normal shape. I wear mine to keep knuckles safe from getting bumped. I hate when that happens. The pain is intense.

I wear this brace when I sleep sometimes. This brace is a compression brace and it works by reducing swelling in the joint. By reducing the swelling it reduces pain. It does also give support but I would not say thats it's main purpose. With that in mind it does not take much to reduce swelling and should not be tight. I found the longer I wore the brace the better my knees were and felt. If the brace was too tight I would not be comfortable wearing it for extended periods of time. I think a good way to judge the right pressure is.... You should not notice an obvious mark or difference in thickness of your leg above or below the brace where it ends. There should not be a bulge above or below... and even after removing there shouldnt be a noticeable mark. This brace has made a world of difference for me and actually returned my knees to a normal looking knee as the swelling in them from injuries and lymes disease. I am 45 and very athletic. I still cant run anymore but atleast I can move again and hope to run again someday. For now I cycle. Good luck! ps. I you are a guy you will probably go to tight. Men seem to believe if a little is good... Alot must be better. LOL NO NO NO!!!

I wore the brace on bare skin only once, because I forgot to wear an under shirt. It was not comfortable, and kept moving out of place. I usually wear it over a this cotton shirt. I haven't had to wash it yet, but my friend has had his longer and washes it when needed.

Hi Anibal, I think if you wear a xs shirt, that a small brace would fit you. I wear a medium shirt and I got a small brace and it was perfect. It is fairly stretchy and has several adjustable straps, but you want it fairly snug to get any benefit. I believe this brace is based on men's sizes, that's why I ordered a small. Good luck !

I did not! I read a bunch of customer reviews---you will find them easily. there are accurate measurements there. I have been buying such braces for years--and know that the smallest one might work. i do not know why there is not a "small" size here available?! the medium is perfect for me--somewhat thin leg but prone to swelling almost double in size in the knee area. i have it on right now--and I am watching TV lying down! i never usually wear a knee brace in this situation--but i am pain free with it on....it is a godsend for me.

I can definitely relate to that type of pain. Yes, this will be of some help. It's also smaller compared to a regular wrist brace and I even forget I'm wearing it at times. Hope this helps! !

I fell once over the small bump. I don't think it's very safe on uneven surfaces. But this just can be me. Not paying attention. I never had metal so I can't compare.

If your hands are smaller then size small, I recommend just wraps you can wrap your hands with a silicone knuckle cover if you need added protection.

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

You know there ain't nothing wrong with a little bump and grind, but for your teeth yeah I don't see why you can't use this with braces. Can't let those babies turn to nubs.

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.
