"I was expecting something flimsy, but this splint is very well made. The strap is super easy to do up with one hand, which matters when your other hand is sore. It gives secure support right at the base of the thumb while allowing full use of my other fingers."
"I’ve tried compression gloves, rigid chemist splints, and gels. This adjustable brace is the first thing that actually made a noticeable difference. The swelling at the base of my thumb has gone down."
"I have osteoarthritis in both hands and couldn’t open a jar or hold a cup without wincing. After two weeks of wearing this brace daily, my hands feel looser and the deep ache in my thumbs has quieted right down."
"My friend at my craft group had one and said it’s really helpful so I thought I’d give it a try. Been using it every evening and now my hands feel less tight in the mornings."
Here's why the cheap ones failed — and we don't.

Most people feel the support the moment it's on — the base of the thumb stops shifting when you pinch. Whether that translates into less pain depends on your joint and how much you're asking of it. Give it a fortnight of regular wear during the activities that hurt before you judge it.
Many people wear it overnight and say mornings start easier for it. Worth being straight with you though: morning stiffness has several possible causes, and if yours comes with numbness, tingling or pins and needles, that points to nerve involvement rather than the thumb joint.
Yes, worn sensibly. Most people wear it for the tasks that aggravate the pain rather than around the clock. If you wear it overnight, fasten it more loosely, and take it off if you ever wake with numbness or tingling.
It's built for one job: supporting the CMC joint at the base of the thumb, which is the joint involved in basal thumb arthritis. It's not designed for carpal tunnel, which involves a compressed nerve at the wrist and usually calls for a different brace shape.
Bought this to help with my guitar thumb overuse strain. Many years of playing leaves me with soreness at the base of my thumb and reduced grip strength. This helps with both, and I can wear it comfortably while playing chords or fingerstyle. Recommend it.
Much better design on this brace as opposed to other expensive brands. There is no seam that tears above the thumb, and it’s a bit more rigid at the base of the palm. I woke this morning with virtually no pain after sleeping in it. Would highly recommend.
It helps a lot! I felt immediate relief after putting it on. I will say the only thing about it that's uncomfortable is that it pinches my skin a little on the top of my hand but that might just be a me problem.
It helped my thumb joint pain after a few days. I’ve been wearing it for work.
The brace helps. However it does rub the top of my hand sort of raw sometimes. The pads they give you with it do help for that.
It’s perfect! Easy to adjust. Comfortable. Love that it has a liner! Keeps my hand cool!
This helped me so much while I worked. My hand had been swelling up from the work. This had a great price. It fit perfectly for me.
I bought a more expensive one years ago and this Hand Hearth brace at half the price works just as well. Comfortable fit and thumb sleeve is a bonus.
They work as well as the $360 dollar ones my insurance paid for.
I really like the affordability and quality of this, it really relieves the ache in my thumb
Got relief from pain the minute I put it on.
Best brace for cmc! Highly recommend! So comfortable!
Wore yesterday for some gardening work. Was easy to get on and off. Really liked the soft undersleeve. The brace worked very well.
Helped get rid of pain. The design and material allows me to wash my hands without having to remove each time.
This brace seems to be well constructed, but it just didn’t fit my hand. Even after adjusting the metal rib, it still rubbed uncomfortably.
I love this new thumb brace! This is the third thumb brace I've had from Hand Hearth. The strap on this brace curves to fit my palm which is great while I work.

Yes, worn sensibly. Most people wear it for the tasks that aggravate the pain rather than around the clock — a joint benefits from moving normally when it isn't being stressed. If you wear it overnight, fasten it more loosely, and take it off if you ever wake with numbness or tingling.
It's built for one job: supporting the CMC joint at the base of the thumb, which is the joint involved in basal thumb arthritis. People with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and trigger thumb often find it useful for that reason. It's not designed for carpal tunnel, which involves a compressed nerve at the wrist and usually calls for a different brace shape. If you're unsure which is causing your pain, a hand therapist can tell you in one appointment.
