Couldn't load pickup availability
I've played in cover bands on weekends for about thirty years and my fretting thumb finally hit a wall last spring. Tried a thumb spica from the pharmacy first but turned my whole hand into a block, couldn't even barre a chord. Then I bought a $90 rigid CMC brace I found on a guitar forum. The plastic edge cut into the base of my palm so badly I had a red mark for a week. This one's the first I've worn that actually lets me play. Not rigid, not bulky, and the joint stays where it needs to.
My hand therapist suggested this after I described the way my thumb would start feeling like there was a needle pressing into the joint about an hour into my afternoon. She said most of the clinical braces she sees aren't actually built for the repetitive micro-impacts of keyboard work because they're built for resting an injured joint, not using one. Three weeks of wearing it through my workday and that needle feeling doesn't show up anymore, even on heavy editing days.
Three months of daily wear and nothing's gone slack, the pad's still firm and the elastic still snaps back. The two Amazon ones I tried before this both wore out inside a month.

Yes, and this is the question we hear most, because almost every customer has tried a brace that did get in the way. The Thumb Hand Stabilizer is soft and slim, not rigid.
It supports the joint at the base of your thumb without locking the thumb itself, and it leaves your fingertips and thumb tip completely bare. You can keep doing your tasks as usual, just without that pain.
Rigid splints are designed to lock the thumb so the joint can rest. That's appropriate for an acute injury, but it makes it physically impossible to type or do any other work properly.
Our Thumb Hand Stabilizer does the opposite job: it stabilizes the joint at the base of your thumb so it stops sliding past itself, while leaving every moving part of your hand free.
Most people notice a meaningful reduction in joint pain within the first two to three weeks of consistent daily wear. Some feel an immediate change the first time they use it.
Yes, completely. Your fingertips and the very tip of your thumb stay bare and nothing covers the pads.
Every order includes a pair - one for each hand. So whichever thumb is giving you trouble, you're covered.
Yes, absolutely. Every order comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee - if it doesn't work the way you'd hoped, just send it back and we'll refund you in full.
I have been playing guitar since I was 7 years old. I am 71 now and lately I've been having trouble with my thumb getting numb. This has been a God send for me.
I received my Thumb Stabilizer today. I love knitting and crochet but have arthritis in my right thumb. It is a game changer.
I have been a quilter for over 50 years and I've had 2 thumb surgeries. These gloves are amazing.
I am wearing one on my left hand and it really helps. I love these and highly recommend them.
I received my gloves two days ago and they are really good. It is making a great difference to my knitting enjoyment.

Yes, completely. Your fingertips and the very tip of your thumb stay bare and nothing covers the pads. This is the single biggest difference between the Thumb Stabilizer and most clinical braces.

I have been playing guitar since I was 7 years old. I am 71 now and lately I've been having trouble with my thumb getting numb to a point where I could not hold my guitar pick after a while. I tried cortisone shots. They would work for a while but then it would return in a few weeks and actually be worse. I was running out of options so I thought I would give this a try. Long story short, this has been a God send for me. I can play the guitar again for as long as I want without my thumb getting numb now!
I am just writing to say that I received my Thumb Stabilizer today. I love knitting and have recently taken up crochet but I have arthritis in my right thumb. I was sceptical it would make any difference. I was wrong. It is a game changer. Thank you so much. I can knit and crochet without pain for hours on end. It is wonderful.
I have been a quilter for over 50 years and I've had 2 thumb surgeries. These gloves are amazing. They don't get in the way of my quilting and they give me the support I need.
I am wearing one on my left hand. I've always had issues with that hand being weaker and getting slightly injured without much cause. So I'm wearing one of these gloves on my left hand and it really helps!
I received my gloves two days ago and they are really good, I am very pleased. It is making a great difference to my knitting enjoyment.
