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

Great product to help support aching 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.

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

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!

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.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS I was concerned with how small these looked when I took them out of the package (I ordered according to the sizing on the box) but they fit perfectly! The fabric of these compression gloves is lovely and soft. The stitching all seems strong and all the seams lay flat so they won’t dig into your skin and cause irritation. There is a care label on the inside of the wrist that will probably need to get cut off if it starts to bunch. GENERAL FEEDBACK The gloves were a bit hard to get on but that is probably because they’re brand new. My hand is just a smidgen over 3 inches wide at the knuckles so I ordered small and it was exactly the right size. The moment the glove was on, I felt almost instant relief from the pain in my knuckles and fingers. The gloves are designed with a left and right hand, rather than a interchangeable shape, which means that they fit properly around the thumb. I really like how the length of the fingers on the gloves comes up so high, providing extra warmth and comfort for the middle knuckle and a bit of the top knuckle too. Keeping the finger tips exposed means that I can type and pick things up without worry. The wrist opening is stitched with a zig-zag seam which should help it keep its shape and not stretch too much. The glove comes about 2 inches down onto the wrist so it provides support to that joint as well. Because the fabric is mostly cotton, it breathes well and doesn’t leave you with clammy hands. When needed, hand wash in cold water and air dry so that the elasticity doesn’t go out of them, and they won’t shrink. With cold weather, I struggle to use my mouse and keyboard at times due to joint pain in my knuckles and wrist. Using these gloves enables me to use my computer comfortably again and I don’t need to keep taking anti-inflammatories.

I happened to see these when I was looking for something else and decided to try a pair. They have been wonderfully helpful for my hands, so much so that I have stopped wearing my hand brace. I wear them to bed and then I do not wear them during the day. My neurologist had prescribed the brace a number of years ago for my arthritis and I had been using the brace for many years. The gloves are so much more effective, more comfortable and even allow my hands much more freedom. I found the gloves to be a bit tight when I first started to wear them but with a bit of breaking in and perhaps my hands less swollen they loosened up just enough to become very comfortable. There may have been a bit of getting used to them as well. If they do not suit you when you first get them wear them for a few days and they should become comfortable right away. It only took me a couple of days. They have maintained what I consider the maximum in comfort and compression. As of 2-25-15, I must sadly report that one of the gloves has a seam coming unstitched. I will not take away a star for that as it may be rare. I am going to purchase another pair so I can trade off. As of 3-13-15 I now have a second pair so I am able to switch off and wash a pair while using the other. The first pair got a bit too loose but washing made them fit like new. I saw some questions about how the gloves fit and I would like to make some comments. The gloves will vary a bit in size and hands and fingers come in infinite sizes; large, small, slender, substantial. That said, it would be impossible to tell someone how the gloves fit as they will be different for each person. Another thing, it is easy to find the correct glove for each hand by locating the seam which will be on the side opposite the thumb. If you are trying to put them on in the dark it is easy to locate the seam as the tag is sewn into it.

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 ...
