How do people with normal size hands/wrists use this mitt? It's HUGE! I ordered one and it falls right off.

Easy.Grab and secure inside the glove or open up your fingers. Which ever is convenient. Hope this helps !!

Yes, you're exactly right, Jenn. I noted in my review about my mitt having a "large" tag on it, but yet there's no where to choose a size when purchasing one. I manage to get by with mine (although it is sloppy on my hand/wrist). I don't know if a heavy rubber band might work for you, or having it tied around your wrist? Maybe you could just use it as you would a large sponge instead of using it as a mitt. Just a couple of thoughts. Hope you come up with something. :)

Much to my surprise YES. I just keep mine in a drawer. Inside the mitt at the top/wrist is a cloth loop just over 1 1/2 inch long (3 inch measuring both sides of the loop

I use the glove on my left hand for knitting. Take hold at the wrist and pull the glove completely inside out (just like turning a sock). Although, the thumb area has "stays" in it, they turn easily with a small adjustment at the end of the thumb compartment. Hope this helps. Marjory Overholt

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

I wish I could be more help, but I ordered it for a friend of mine. I did notice that it seems to fit him pretty well, and he doesn't have large wrists at all. He also claims that it REALLY works well.

I have large hands and it fits. It's tight but it stretches on. Use it constantly when I'm using a grater or a mandoline. Think of the money you'll save in bandaids!!

This is Ken over at Nurturing Planet. I cannot say for sure that you will find the mitts perfect for you. I have had a very few ladies with very small hands say that they love the mitts, but that they find them unwieldy, and have returned them. I would say that if anyone else will use them besides you, then you will find them a very good compromise for a "multiple person" kitchen. I would suggest you try them. Returns are not a problem, and you can get all your money back if they just don't work well for you.Looking forward to your decision. :)

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

It is mitten shaped and thus the thumb would not be usable by someone left handed. I can put my entire left hand into the mitten and let the thumb dangle (or you could pin it out of the way) but I don't know how comfortable it would be to use that way.

If you find the armband is too big. Give HandStands a call. They have smaller ones that might work better for you.

[Guy here] They don't specify if it is gender-specific. However, I have small hands, so I bought a small, and it turned out to be extremely tight. It fits, but if I bend my wrist in a gripping fashion I cannot bend all the way without feeling excessive strain on the leather (feels like it might rip from the stress). I would've preferred to have gotten a medium in retrospect. A lot of reviews also suggest getting one size up.Not sure if that helped, but my two cents.

This is a microfiber mitt, with a cuff, that you put your hand into. However, I found that this mitt was too large for my hand, and I could not get a grip on it on the inside. For this reason, I would recommend a microfiber cloth/towel if you intend to apply any kind of cleaner or protectant. I use a wash mitt for washing my car, but not this one. "

I'm pretty sure they have a guide that tells you palm width in inches as it relates to the small-extra large size if gloves. You measure your palm at the widest across and its pretty accurate in my opinion! Very happy with purchase!

It is too big for my wrist. I tried it on that way and it won't stay in one place, just swings around. The arm band is too long for a smaller wrist. My wrist is 6 inches around.

Since I have large-ish hands, I couldn't say for sure but I think you'd be fine. This mitt is okay for grabbing a roaster or baking pan out of the oven, but I found it uncomfortable to use when wrapping one's hand around the handle of a skillet because of where the thumb is.

What GREAT answers everyone ~ THANK YOU for contributing your wisdom! Just like Susan said, imagine the Finger Gloves™ conforming like a pair of panty hose or close fitting socks. Savona and I have put these on thousands of fingers and the way we like to do it is to use both hands to pull the open base wide and then just "pop" in the finger you are putting them on. All of the contributors suggestions are perfect, we have just found that this is the quickest way to get them on. Wow what a blessing you all are and thank you! ~ Carmel and Savona

I have used it for my 3rd too! Love it, but be careful! It slipped off my hand when I was over enthusiastic!
