They fit well, but one glove already had some broken stitches/starts of holes before I put it on. They've not grown since, but it's definitely a weak point so I'll be saving this pair for harder working days

My 93 year old Mum who has very painful hands LOVES these gloves. They help a lot. I have just ordered a second pair. Thank you very much.

I find the fingers/thumb little too short for me as I have arthritis in top joints which are not covered by the gloves. Some relief but not as much as I’d hoped.

Hi, the first couple of nights the gloves helped a lot. As my fingers are quite deformed, they were cramping badly in the night causing me to wake up in a lot of pain. This has been relieved with the gloves but after just a few days, I feel that they have stretched a little causing the compression not to feel as good. I think the quality of the gloves could be improved as the tops of the fingers are not finished very well so they’re fraying bits..
The condition of my hands in the daytime has not changed, but certainly they are a comfort at night.
It would be good if they were more affordable as they are quite a luxury when on a tight budget which I’m sure a lot of people suffering with arthritis are? I have ordered the knee compression and I’m waiting for its arrival., so hoping for good results.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this product.

The gloves are very comfortable and keep my hands warm but they do not help with the pain across my knuckles.

These gloves are the best ones I’ve ever had.
I wear them at night and seem to have no pain at all.

Ordered a small after going from the size guide but they are too big. Returned them today at my own expense after speaking with customer care ti exchange for the extra small. Hopefully they will fit.

I was given a compression glove by my hospital Physiotherapist, I found it very supportive. I needed a replacement and these are very good

I had a fall and landed on my hands which were badly damaged and are now painful. The gloves have helped to keep the hands warm and reduce the pain

I find the compression gloves are comfortable to wear and helpful for painful swollen hands.

The gloves are wonderful. I can knit again! I'm thinking of buying another pair in a different colour.

They are soft and comfortable but they ride up a little on the wrists and depending on how bad a flare up is they could be a little tighter but that’s more a problem for me than the gloves. They do work well with my wrist supports though and this stops them riding up. I think I’m going to buy some the next size down for days when compression is needed more than support.
