IMAK Compression Arthritis Gloves (Grey, M)

To be fair I've only had the gloves 4 days and being asked review seems a little premature however I will speak as I find. The gloves appear to be supportive and I have felt less pain when working on projects, they are comfortable to wear, yet I find the fingers slightly long and do turn them back on themselves... which is no bother. I'm trying to wear them most of the day but have to remove them to cook, wash up pots & going to the bathroom. Consequently the ends of the fingers & some of the seams are becoming a bit dog-eared already and I'm concerned about the wear & tear aspect, they're not the cheapest ones on the market. So there are pros & cons but I'm going to keep them with 🤞 crossed.

I got my first pair of these in August 2013. I have seronegative polyarthritis at 40, my hands are the worst affected. Before I started using these gloves my hand was curled up like a claw when I woke up in the morning, and at least one finger had remained bent for weeks. There was an immediate though not dramatic effect after sleeping with these gloves for the first time, with the fingers less curled up although still not straight for the first few weeks. Gradually there has been a sustained improvement which I think is largely due to these gloves, as I still have problems with other joints. For about a month (so after 3 months of wear), my fingers have been straight and flexible pretty much all of the time. A few weeks ago I fell asleep without the gloves, and woke up in the early morning with a curled up painful hand again, thinking with dread that it had come back for good. I managed to get the glove on the hand, and the gentle pressure of the glove managed to straighten it out almost immediately and when I woke up again after a couple of hours it was fine. I have bought another pair as I could not do without them. I have tried to use them in the day time when my hands were painful when I was working on the laptop, but found them a bit restrictive when typing so tend to use them at night only.

I'm really pleased with these gloves. I am developing arthritis in my hands and fingers, and also suffer from problems with cold hands, particularly when using my PC - and the gentle pressure of these gloves feels comforting and keeps my hands warm. I had worried that my fingertips would still get cold or that the tightness of the gloves would affect the circulation to my fingertips, but I've had no problems at all.The gloves felt very snug initially and I was wondering if I should have ignored the size chart and ordered a larger size, but after wearing them for a couple of minutes I got used to the gentle pressure and they didn't feel too tight at all - so in my opinion, the size chart is very accurate - despite the fact I don't really have the daintiest or most ladylike hands! I also have somewhat chubby arms - but there is sufficient stretch in the fabric for them not to be too tight around my arms / wrists either.Regarding the length (a previous reviewer commented on this) - on me the gloves seem to be an intermediate length, somewhere in between that shown on the main photo, and the one of the lady with the flowers. They extend maybe 5-6cm up my arms from my wrists.Very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend them to anyone.

To start with, they work for me - I suffer from (mild) RSI to my right hand, (probably from too much mouse clicking!), and these gloves give a slight compression which eases the achy pain across the back of my hand. Slight moan is that, because the material contains "Spandex" (to give it the elastic compression, of course), it actually means my finger tips get colder, however the (definite) upside is that they are thin & one retains a good degree of usage of the fingers whilst wearing them, which means one can continue to do things whilst wearing them - which is preferable to me, at least.Not over cheap though - but what price "relief"?Quality good (I think one poster was just unlucky, & perhaps should have sent them back for replacement) & quick postage.

Its not often I am taken in by adverts for arthritis sufferers, But thought I would give them a try,after many nights of being woken up with painful hands with arthritis, I know have much morecomfortable nights after wearing these gloves during the night, and would recommend anyone to givethem a try,

I bought these for my partner who has arthritis in his thumbs. He says they are quite helpful at easing the pain. They were fairly expensive for what they are and I think I will try one of the cheaper alternatives advertised on Amazon so that I can see if these are really the best product before I pass judgment.

i bought these for my mother for her hands i dont know if she wore them or if they were helpful so cant say anything about them.

The gloves are comfortable.My index (mouse) finger is not sore anymore.If you are not sure about which size to get, go for the tighter fit. As I wear them more, the gloves tend to stretch and widen.Overall, a good product but rather expensive.You should also look into what is causing the soreness and try to eliminate that first.For me I bought an ergonomic mouse which supported my index finger better when I click on it. I would also recommend that you set up your computer at a comfortable height so that you do not develop carplitunnel syndrome in your wrist. The finger soreness may be an early sign that the hands are not in a comfortable position for the job at hand.
