IMAK Compression Arthritis Gloves - Fingerless, Support for Joint Pain & Circulation, Unisex, Compression Gloves

I've had hand pain in my dominant hand since I was a teenager. I've been to specialists, worn braces, had cortisone shots, been through physical therapy and massage therapy, and the list goes on. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING ever worked. Two words into writing anything and my hand would be in searing pain that felt like fire. Writing for any length of time and come the next day I couldn't close my group without the pain being so bad I couldn't even hold utensils to eat. The pain has always been awful. I tried changing pens, and spent so much money on therapeutic pens, pencils, and writing accessories meant to "ease the grip" and "stop writing strain" and whatever other marketing nonsense that promised hope and under delivered. Then someone suggested that I treat my hand pain like a diabetic or someone with rheumatoid arthritis would and try compression gloves. I spent days researching the different compression gloves available on Amazon and read all the reviews on all of them before settling on the IMAK compression gloves. I am so glad I purchased these! The first night I wore them to bed, I woke up in the morning and couldn't believe it--it was the first time in almost thirty years that I didn't wake up with my hand swollen and sore and unable to close a fist or move my fingers. I wear these gloves whenever I'm writing and I have not pain, no numbness, no fiery pain or burning tingles. And I haven't woken up with hand pain or swelling since. I purchased the IMAK compression gloves in the same size as I purchase regular winter gloves and they fit perfectly. You can't even feel that your wearing compression gloves, but they are working the same nevertheless. They are lightweight; my hands don't sweat when I"m wearing them. And they're easy to clean. I hand wash them and toss them in the dryer with my delicates, no problem. Do yourself a favor, if you have any hand pain at all, buy these. I wish I had done this years ago!

Great product to help support aching hands.

This is not my first pair of these gloves, I have two black, two grey. So why would I go for a 4/5? Because my most recent one after only wearing four times had all these holes in the right hand! I can’t figure it out! It’s just the right hand, and on both sides. There’s no explainable reason. I keep the gloves safely stored away. Especially because I’m always loosing my things. So the more organized I can remain, the better I am at not loosing it all. So the holes, a mystery and a bit annoying because quality overall with Imak has been outstanding. These are the brand of gloves that my occupational hand therapist suggests I have. I’ve had two different doctors now, and BOTH LIVE and DIE by this brand when it comes to compression gloves. I have OTHER brands, and showed her. I had different copper ones, I PERSONALLY didn’t like them. They’re too thin, but seams are irritating me, but not in the places you’d think. It’s where they cut off on my fingers because it’s just so awkward to have gloves cut off before your first knuckle, and then cut INTO the skin there. So, stopped wearing those ones. I have a pair of Vive that I was loving. But when she had me compare the compression of the Imak to Vive, I was amazed. I THOUGHT I was getting a compression fit on my Vive pair I had. But no, these Imak gloves are more snug around your hands in fingers WITHOUT feeling as though they’re going to cut off the circulation like the copper brand gloves. It compresses your hands in such a snug enough way that you have that feeling of a hug, without it feeling like a bear hug. I mean, they have a stronger compression strength then all the brands I have, BUT the material, the quality, the feel. It doesn’t FEEL that much different. EXECPT for when you have tendonitis like me, having that compression in those important areas all of a sudden, and everywhere ELSE just feel like a NORMAL feeling stretchy glove. THAT’S important. I can just WEAR them and DO my hand exercises of opening and closing my fingers because there’s resistance in JUST that act. But not SO MUCH that you have to FIGHT against it, but where first thing in the morning you’re waking up and there’s that early morning fatigue in your fingers/ hands, and that resistance is JUST what you need to do that stretching in the morning. Would I recommend Imak, I HAVE! I’ve been reaching out to OTHERS I know who have hand issues and letting THEM know that THESE are the gloves to have! That they are BACKED by professionals, and WORTH every penny! I have gone and gotten their wrist mouse pad to rest my wrist on when I’m using my stylist. And need that small support for my elbow or wrist. I really find that they know how to help with the strains of the hands.

I bought this brand originally from another company that has since gone out of business. Thankfully, there was a tag on them and I was able to order another pair here on amazon. These gloves are fantastic. Very well made They are not too tight. They give you just enough compression for pain I use them at night because I have Arthritis in my hands. When I wake up in the morning, my hands are no longer swollen and tight They are very comfortable to sleep in all night long. I highly recommend these. I have had the original pair for over 2 years. And they still work great. However, I thought it would be nice to have an additional pair, while the other ones are drying.

I miss these gloves if i can't find them when needed. My hands are so relieved as soon as i put them on

This is an update to my review, below. While I continue to love these gloves and wear them every day, they have a fatal flaw! They don't last very long. They are great for helping with arthritis pain. According to the measurements on the side of the box, I should be wearing an XS. However, the XS started falling apart within two days. So I went back to a size S. Still, the gloves do not last more than a few weeks. I take them off when I do anything physical (which is when I could use their help the most). Then I took it more serious and only wore them to sleep in, but still, they tear apart. They develop small holes and tear at the seams and also in the fingers. Since I first discovered these gloves mid-2016, I have ordered 21 pair. I hand wash them and air dry them. But sadly, every few weeks I find myself opening the next box on the shelf so I have a pair that doesn't have holes in them. I still wear them because the pain in my hands is so bad, and the gloves help SO MUCH. But I cannot afford to keep buying them at this rate. My next plan is to start physical therapy with the goal of strengthening my hands so I will be a candidate for surgery. I still think these gloves are amazing, but I wish they would last more than a couple of weeks. Keep this in mind as you read my initial review. These gloves are fantastic! I have HORRIBLE osteoarthritis in my hands. The pain is too much. So I started using Traumeel as hand lotion and I started wearing these gloves. The pain is GONE!!! I can even go a few days without wearing the gloves. I want to order a second or third pair, but I am unable to make up my mind about size. (According to the label that came with my first pair, I should order XS. But I am worried they will be too tight. The S seem to be getting the job done.) If you are suffering with arthritis in your hands, I highly recommend you get these gloves. They are thin enough that you can wear them as you go about your business. They are like a tight second skin. I can't imagine not having them now. I forget I have them on, they are that comfortable.

I’ve tried others, these are the most comfortable and sleepable! Usually I wake up in the night and want to pull the compression gloves off. They get hot and sweaty and binding. These are practically unnoticeable at night. Hallelujah!

If you have arthritic hands wearing these at night can give you a better night sleep. In the morning. Hands may be sore, but they may respond quicker to a mild message. Expect your hands to sweat. The warmth helps with the discomfort.

This is a must for people suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.Really helps reduce the pain and swelling in fingers.Will help you do many basic activities like holding spoon,combing hair and trust me won't let your fingers swell unless you are experiencing a bad flare. The delivery was much delayed than the promised arrival date and i had no clue where my package was. I made a mistake presuming that i would receive two pair of gloves but what they mean is a single pair of gloves meant for each hand.Please keep that in mind before ordering.They are expensive but definitely worth a buy.

Muy bueno. Se lo regalé a mi madre con una artritis muy avanzada en los dedos de las manos. No podía dormir, por los dolores que le causaba. Notó alivio desde el primer momento que los usó. No es un remedio curativo, pero al menos, puede descansar por las noches. Muy recomendable.

Hi, this is a horrible product and is like some normal cheap gloves from market. Go cheated on the product and money. local stuff, local packing . This product should be banned at this site.

gants indispensable pour les doigts douloureux. gants qui tiennent bien chaud ; matiére tres extensible mais qui ne se defome pas ; donc on n 'est pas serré , tissu leger donc tres ergonomique. juste le bout des doigts ouverts. je les utilise trés souvent car ils sont facile à enfiler. ça devrait etre prescrit et rembourser ...
