Raynauds Disease Gloves Full Length

£12.49inc VAT

  • 1x Pair of Full‑finger gloves for Raynaud’s comfort that keep temperature steadier from wrist to fingertips, reduce sudden cooling that can trigger an episode and makes early touches feel gentler as you warm up.
  • Choosing your size: measure both hands around the widest part of the knuckles (exclude the thumb) and use the larger measurement. Sizes: Small 13–17 cm, Medium 17–20 cm, Large 20–24 cm, Extra Large 24–27 cm. Aim for close and non‑constrictive.
  • How to wear: use on its own indoors or as a warm base layer under a loose, warm outer glove in colder weather; put on indoors so your hands start warm.
  • Breathable and lightweight: lets excess heat escape gradually so temperature changes feel smoother and comfort lasts as you move from warmer to cooler areas.
  • Moisture‑wicking fibres: draw perspiration away so damp skin doesn’t cool fast; warmth feels more stable during errands, commuting, and daily use.
  • Dries quickly when wet: easy to wash by hand in cool water and designed to dry fast when laid flat, so they’re ready to wear again sooner.
  • Secure, low‑effort grip: thin silicone strips across the palm side of the fingers and palm add gentle traction on smooth surfaces, helping you hold with less pressure—useful when sensation is reduced.
  • Natural movement and dexterity: a thin, flexible knit follows the hand’s shape so small, accurate finger movements stay easy without bulky layering.
  • Comfort details that matter: flat, soft seams set away from tender spots, smooth fingertip finishing, and non‑constrictive cuffs that sit comfortably without pinching.
  • Sits neatly under sleeves: the thin, smooth knit slides easily under sleeves and stays in place without bunching, making it straightforward to wear through the day.
  • Built to last: durable knit resists pilling and thinning in high‑use areas; fit and feel remain consistent wash after wash.
  • Fresh feel during long wear: copper‑infused fibres help the fabric feel fresher between washes (supports comfort; not a medical treatment).
  • 30‑day comfort promise: try them for 30 days. If you don’t feel a clear difference in warmth, comfort, and steadier hand use, return them within that time for a full refund—no fuss.

Do your fingers lose colour and go numb in the cold—then sting or tingle as they warm back up? Do simple tasks—zipping your coat, turning a key, fastening buttons—suddenly feel awkward when your hands are chilled? You’re not alone. These are classic signs of Raynaud’s Disease.

NuovaHealth Raynaud’s Gloves are made for those moments, delivering gentle compression and steady warmth to help protect sensitivity and keep your hands moving comfortably.

Below, you’ll find a clear explanation of what Raynaud’s is, how it affects your hands, practical ways to ease discomfort, how our gloves specifically support Raynaud’s and other hand conditions, and a simple guide to choosing your ideal size and fit.

Understanding what Raynaud’s is

Raynaud’s is named after Maurice Raynaud, a 19th‑century physician who was the first to recognise and describe the pattern of finger colour change, numbness, and discomfort in response to cold or stress. In simple terms, it is an exaggerated version of a normal heat‑conserving response.

What it is

Raynaud’s is a condition where the digital arteries (the small arteries that supply the fingers) and the arterioles (smaller branches) tighten more than usual for brief periods (vasospasm: temporary tightening of small arteries). This briefly reduces blood flow (ischaemia: reduced blood flow) and can change colour and sensation. As flow returns, a warm flush can follow (reactive hyperaemia), sometimes with pins‑and‑needles (tingling). Not everyone shows every colour or the same order each time. Although other exposed areas can be affected (for example, the toes, and, less often, the ears or the tip of the nose), the hands usually show the most noticeable effects in daily life.

Normal response versus an exaggerated response

In cool conditions or during stress, it is normal for small arteries to narrow slightly to conserve body heat and prioritise vital organs. In Raynaud’s, this narrowing is exaggerated and can be set off by small changes—mild chill, a short rise in stress, or contact with a cold surface—and it can last longer. That is why symptoms can appear quickly and feel more intense than expected, with the first touches on warming up often feeling sharp.

Who is affected

Raynaud’s can affect adults at any age, but it is reported more often in women and in people living in cooler climates. It commonly begins in early adulthood, and a family history can raise likelihood. In the UK, estimates suggest around 1 in 6 adults report Raynaud’s‑type symptoms. For many, symptoms are mild and occasional; for others—especially in winter—episodes can be more disruptive and call for day‑to‑day strategies to stay comfortable.

Why some people are more sensitive

Several things can make finger vessels more reactive and increase the chance of episodes:

  • Natural sensitivity of the stress‑response system and the vessel lining (vessels tighten more readily or relax more slowly, so cooling triggers stronger narrowing).
  • Hormonal influences (for example, oestrogen can affect how responsive vessels are to cold).
  • Family history (genetic factors that can make vessels more prone to tightening).
  • Nicotine (narrows blood vessels and reduces blood flow in the skin, so fingers cool faster).
  • Certain medicines that promote vessel tightening (your GP can advise about alternatives if needed).
  • Underlying conditions that affect connective tissue or the immune system (these can drive secondary Raynaud’s by changing vessel behaviour or tissue health).
  • Long‑term exposure to vibration through the hands (for example, using power tools), which can increase susceptibility in cool conditions by affecting nerves and vessels.

These points help explain why some people notice frequent episodes in cool conditions while others rarely do.

Where you might feel it—and why

The hands and fingers are affected most because they are further from the body’s core, have many small surface vessels, and lose heat quickly—especially when exposed. Any finger can be involved, and patterns are often similar in both hands. In primary Raynaud’s, the thumbs are less commonly affected. The toes can be involved, and, less often, the ears or the tip of the nose, but for day‑to‑day function the hands and fingers are usually the most affected.

Primary vs secondary: how they differ

  • Primary Raynaud’s occurs on its own. It typically shows a long‑standing, symmetric pattern in both hands, often spares the thumbs, and does not cause skin damage. Episodes can be frequent in cool conditions but settle between events.
  • Secondary Raynaud’s is due to another condition, most often a connective‑tissue or autoimmune disorder. It can start later in life, be more painful, involve the thumbs more often, last longer, and in some cases lead to fingertip sores. These signs of secondary Raynaud’s warrant timely assessment so the underlying cause can be identified and treated.

Assessment and when to seek medical advice

A GP will ask when symptoms began, how often they occur, how long they last, and whether both hands are affected in a similar way. They will look for features that point to secondary causes (for example, fingertip sores, pitting or scarring at the fingertips, or nailfold changes) and may examine the tiny vessels at the nailfold (the skin at the base of the nail). Blood tests can screen for an autoimmune condition when the pattern or examination suggests it. Ignoring possible secondary Raynaud’s can have consequences: ongoing poor blood flow can lead to fingertip ulcers, skin breakdown, and infection; repeated injury can leave scarring and further reduce circulation; in severe untreated cases, tissue loss can occur. Seek medical advice if episodes are frequent, severe, or unusually long; if symptoms start later in life or worsen quickly; if one hand is much more affected than the other or symptoms follow an injury; if there are fingertip sores, ulcers, skin breakdown, signs of infection, or nail changes; or if there are wider signs such as persistent joint pain, rashes, unexplained weight loss, fevers, or profound fatigue. Early assessment helps confirm the type of Raynaud’s, identify any underlying cause, and protect day‑to‑day hand function.

Day‑to‑day impact and what helps in principle

During and just after an episode, reduced feeling and stiffness make small, accurate finger movements harder (for example, fastening buttons or turning a small control), and it is common to grip more firmly to avoid slips. As feeling returns, narrow edges can sting because pressure is concentrated on a small spot on the finger pads (the soft, fleshy fronts of the fingertips). Three simple principles help: keep warmth steady from wrist to fingertips, keep the skin dry so fingers do not cool fast, and use a softer feel that spreads pressure over a wider area. The next sections describe what an episode feels like, how long it typically lasts, what tends to set it off, and straightforward ways to make the first minutes of warming up easier on your fingers.

What an episode feels like

After a trigger, changes in feeling and colour can appear within seconds. Most people notice reduced feeling and finger stiffness first. Colour may shift to white, then blue, and, as warmth returns, to a pink‑red flush—though some people skip a colour. Any finger can be involved, and both hands often behave in a similar way. Recognising these changes early makes it easier to use the simple steps below to reduce how long an episode lasts.

How long episodes tend to last

Many episodes last a few minutes, especially if you can get out of the cold and start warming up; for many people, symptoms settle within about 5–15 minutes once warming starts. In colder, windy, or damp conditions—or if you continue to hold a cold object—episodes can last longer. As you warm up, tingling and a dull ache are common for a short time, and light touches can feel sharper than expected. Your fingertips can stay tender or oversensitive for a while after colour and sensation return, particularly in cool air. In secondary Raynaud’s, episodes and recovery can take longer and may be more painful. Timings vary from person to person and from day to day.

What tends to set it off

Cold and stress are the main drivers. Rapid cooling (for example, moving from a warm room into much cooler air), touching cold objects, air moving across damp skin, or a sudden rise in stress—such as hurrying when you are running late, a brief shock, or heightened anxiety—can tighten small arteries and bring on an episode.

Everyday situations that can bring on an episode

  • Stepping out from warmth into much colder air, such as leaving a heated building on a chilly day, can trigger changes within seconds.
  • Wind chill—moving air over bare or damp hands—strips heat quickly, so a breezy walk can feel far colder than the temperature suggests.
  • Wet weather, including rain, sleet, or snow, leaves skin damp and increases evaporative cooling, which amplifies wind chill.
  • Direct contact with cold objects, like metal handles, keys, taps, tools, or chilled containers (for example, bottles or cans), often sets off tingling or numbness.
  • A cool indoor draught from open doors or windows, or from areas near external walls, can cool the hands enough to start symptoms.
  • A sudden rise in stress—hurrying, running late, a brief shock, or heightened anxiety—can tighten small arteries and trigger an episode even when it is only mildly cool.
  • Using power tools for long periods, especially those that vibrate, can make episodes easier to trigger in cool conditions.
  • Some medicines can make fingers more sensitive to cold (for example, certain beta‑blockers, some decongestant sprays or tablets, and some migraine remedies). Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own; if you notice a link, speak to your GP—there are often alternatives. In some cases, a GP may prescribe a medicine that relaxes small arteries to help with troublesome symptoms; these are used alongside day‑to‑day measures.

Ways to prevent and ease episodes

Simple choices you can make can help to reduce rapid cooling and make warming up feel calmer:

  • Before you head out into colder air, put on your Raynaud’s gloves while you are still indoors so your hands start warm; avoiding a sudden temperature drop makes an episode less likely.
  • At doorways and building exits, pause for 20–30 seconds before stepping outside when the difference is large; this brief pause softens the shock of cold air.
  • When you need to hold something cold, first rest your palm or gloved hand on the surface for 10–15 seconds, then take your grip; a warmer touch reduces the sudden temperature jump that can prolong symptoms.
  • Keep hands dry whenever possible. After rain, washing up, or sweat, dry your skin fully; if your gloves become damp, change to a dry pair. Damp skin loses heat quickly, especially in moving air.
  • Reduce direct contact with cold metal by wrapping handles or adding a slim sleeve so your fingertips are not touching the cold surface; this slows heat loss and lowers the chance of triggering an episode.
  • During an episode, if you must hold a firm edge, lay your fingertip flat against the surface so one small spot isn’t pressed as hard; spreading pressure makes the first touches sting less as feeling returns.
  • While handling small, fiddly items, switch which fingers you use so one area is not pressed repeatedly; this helps tingling ease sooner.
  • As you warm up, keep the hands moving gently by opening and closing your fist and wiggling your fingers; comfortable movement encourages blood flow without squeezing hard.

These steps work best together: smaller temperature jumps, dry skin, and softer first touches help episodes settle faster and keep everyday tasks more comfortable.

Where Raynaud’s gloves fit in

Alongside these steps, NuovaHealth Raynaud’s gloves provide steady warmth with a close, non‑constrictive feel from wrist to fingertips, so sudden cooling is less likely and the first touches on warming feel gentler. Where advised by a clinician, a light, even compression feel can further steady awareness and comfort. The thin, flexible fabric moves with your fingers so everyday use stays accurate, and the fit is designed to avoid restricting blood flow. Next, you’ll see how each feature addresses a specific problem—temperature swings, damp skin, reduced sensation, grip effort, and sensitive areas—followed by sizing, wear tips, care, and safety points to help you choose with confidence.

From understanding to action: how NuovaHealth Raynaud’s gloves help day to day

Cold, damp, and sudden temperature changes can trigger episodes that leave fingers numb, stiff, or sore and make everyday tasks painful or difficult. Here’s how each element of NuovaHealth Raynaud’s gloves addresses those problems so using your hands feels steadier and more comfortable.

Steady warmth next to the skin

Episodes are often triggered by a rapid drop in temperature at the hands, and the first moments of warming up can feel sharp. These gloves hold a thin warm layer next to the skin from wrist to fingertips, slowing heat loss without squeezing. Keeping warmth close and even helps the temperature of the hands change more gradually when you move between warmer and cooler areas, which makes sudden vessel tightening less likely. Because the fit is close but not tight, and the cuffs sit comfortably without pinching, circulation is supported rather than restricted. You start with warmer hands, so as sensation returns, pressing a firm edge with your fingertips or picking up a small, fiddly item feels less sharp—and you spend less time stopping to warm up.

Breathable knit to smooth temperature changes

Getting too hot can lead to sweating, and damp skin then cools quickly in moving air. The breathable knit allows excess heat to escape gradually while maintaining a thin, warm layer next to the skin. This balance helps prevent the swing from warm to sweaty to suddenly cold that can trigger symptoms, especially when you move from warmer to cooler areas during the day. The gloves are thin and flexible, so they sit neatly under sleeves without bunching at the wrist, which makes it easier to wear them for longer without taking them off. Smoother temperature changes mean fewer episodes triggered by everyday temperature shifts and more consistent comfort while you work with handles, tools, containers, and small, fiddly controls (such as switches or dials).

Moisture‑wicking fibres to limit evaporative chill

Light moisture—mist or mild perspiration—speeds heat loss from the skin as it evaporates, and a breeze makes that cooling stronger. These gloves are breathable and moisture‑wicking; they lift moisture off the skin and spread it through the knit so it evaporates more evenly. By keeping the skin surface drier during wear, they reduce evaporative chill and help warmth feel steadier as you move between warmer and cooler areas. As sensation returns, early touches—like holding a firm edge or a small, fiddly item—feel less sharp. If the glove fabric gets wet—after heavier rain or after washing—dry the glove fully before wearing it again.

Quick‑drying after getting wet

A wet glove keeps water against the skin. Water conducts heat away; as it evaporates, it can cool your hands even faster, especially in a breeze, so a damp glove can make your hands feel colder. These gloves are easy to wash by hand in cool water and are designed to dry quickly when laid flat away from direct heat. Press water out gently in a towel, then lay flat to dry so the knit keeps its shape. Check that the inside and fingertips feel completely dry before your next wear. If one pair gets wet, switch to a dry pair while the first dries. Drying time varies with room humidity and airflow.

Silicone grip strips on the palm side for a more secure hold

When sensation is reduced, objects can be harder to hold securely, and many people respond by gripping too tightly, which tires the hand and can make small tasks harder and less reliable. To support a lighter, steadier hold, these gloves include thin silicone strips across the palm side of the fingers and the palm. The strips add gentle traction on smooth surfaces without making the glove stiff, so you keep flexibility for small, accurate movements. Their pattern uses narrow, flexible lines that bend naturally as you curl your fingers, keeping contact steady along your fingertips when you hold a firm edge, a handle, a container, or a small, fiddly item. This helps you hold with less pressure and reduces the chance of slipping when your skin is slightly damp, so handling feels more secure with less strain. The silicone stays flexible in the cold, so grip support remains consistent.

Ergonomic shaping and a thin, flexible build for steadier handling

When feeling drops, it is common to grip more tightly or hold the wrist stiff to prevent slips, which can tire the hand and make small tasks harder and less reliable. The knit follows the natural curves of the hand and fingers so you can move comfortably without being held flat or straight. Because the fabric stretches and returns smoothly, the glove stays aligned as you hold, grip, pinch, and turn, so movements feel more predictable. That predictability makes it easier to judge how firmly you need to hold, reducing the very tight grip that tires your hands and leaves fingertips sore as warmth returns. This makes it easier to use small, fiddly items that need careful finger work, with fewer pauses to adjust your grip.

Flat seams, smooth fingertips, and non‑constrictive cuffs for lasting comfort

During and after an episode, fingertips and finger sides can be tender, and narrow edges may sting. Seams and cuffs can add irritation if they press on the wrong area. These gloves use flat, soft seams placed away from common pressure points and smooth finishing at the fingertips, so pressing a small button doesn’t catch on a ridge. The cuffs are designed to sit comfortably without pinching or leaving marks, supporting circulation while keeping the glove secure. Around the front of the wrist, the inner fabric feels soft, which helps when you rest the wrist lightly on a firm edge. Together, these elements reduce rubbing on sensitive skin and make repeated holding and releasing feel more comfortable through the day.

Thin, smooth knit that sits neatly under sleeves

A glove that bunches under sleeves or catches on clothing is distracting and often ends up off your hands when you need it most. These gloves are thin and smooth on the outside, so they slide easily under sleeves and sit neatly at the wrist. The knit resists snagging, which helps when you rest the wrist near clothing layers. Because the glove feels unobtrusive, it is easier to keep it on through the moments that matter—moving between indoors and outdoors, brief waits in cooler areas, or handling a series of small, fiddly items—so warmth remains steadier from wrist to fingertips. The result is practical, everyday wear that works with your clothing, not against it.

Built to last: durable knit and shape retention after washing

Daily use puts the most wear on the palm, fingertips, and the thumb‑side of the wrist. The knit is designed for repeated grip and release without thinning quickly, so the inside stays smooth against the skin and the outside maintains its function. The main body resists pilling and snagging, and the cuffs hold their shape so they sit comfortably without slipping or leaving marks. With sensible care—hand‑wash cool, dry flat away from direct heat—the fabric keeps its structure and warmth, so grip performance stays reliable. Consistent fit and function mean you get the same steady warmth and dependable handling day after day.

Fresh feel during long wear

Wearing gloves for long periods can lead to odour and a less pleasant feel inside, especially when you move between warm indoor air and cooler outdoor air. These gloves are designed to stay comfortable during busy days: the breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help manage sweat so the inside feels drier, which reduces irritation on sensitive skin as sensation returns. The fabric blend also helps the gloves feel fresher for longer, so you are more likely to keep them on when they help most—commuting, running errands, or desk work in a cool office (such as typing or using a mouse). A pleasant, dry feel supports consistent wear, which helps keep warmth steadier from wrist to fingertips. Freshness supports comfort; it is not a medical treatment, and you should continue your usual hand‑care routine and any guidance from your GP.

Choosing your size and fit

Measure both hands around the widest part of the knuckles (exclude the thumb) and use the larger measurement. Then choose your size: Small 13–17 cm, Medium 17–20 cm, Large 20–24 cm, Extra Large 24–27 cm. Aim for close, not tight: an even feel across the fingers, palm, and the front of the wrist (palm side), with no tight bands. If you are between sizes and prefer more warmth, choose the closer size; if your hands swell or you prefer a lighter feel, choose the larger size.

Quick fit check

You can slide a fingertip under the cuff comfortably. Your fingers feel warm within a few minutes in a warm room. You can make a full fist and open fully without resistance. After brief wear, there are no deep marks at the cuffs or finger bases.

How to wear for best results

  • Wear these gloves as a warm base layer next to the skin. In colder weather, add a loose, warm outer glove or mitten; choose an outer glove that is not tight so finger movement and circulation are maintained. Put the inner glove on indoors so your hands start warm; if you are already cold, warm your hands first, then add the gloves.
  • Put the gloves on indoors before you step outside—prevention is easier than regaining warmth once an episode begins.
  • Keep hands dry; if the gloves become damp, change to a dry pair before going back into cool air. Keeping a spare pair in your coat or bag makes this easy.
  • As you warm up after an episode, move comfortably by opening and closing your fist and wiggling your fingers to encourage blood flow.

How to adjust seam placement for comfort

If a seam sits on a sore spot, position the glove so the seam lies beside—not over—the area. Pinch the fabric near the seam and slide it about 1 cm to one side. For the wrist, sit the cuff just above or just below the front of the wrist to avoid a band over tender areas.

Optional closer feel (only if advised)

Most people do best with a close, non‑constrictive fit. In some situations, a GP or physiotherapist may suggest trying a gently closer feel to support awareness of finger position and to ease a “puffy” sensation. Only try a closer feel if a clinician has advised it, and keep it gentle: there should be no pins and needles, and fingertips should feel warm within a few minutes in a warm room.

Also helpful for conditions affecting the hands

While these gloves are designed with Raynaud’s in mind, the same balance of steady warmth, breathable moisture management, and very light, non‑constrictive feel can support day‑to‑day comfort in other hand conditions. For precise guidance on fit and use, see the overviews below.

For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What carpal tunnel syndrome is and what it affects

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve (the main nerve to the thumb, index, and middle fingers) is irritated or compressed inside the carpal tunnel (a narrow passage at the front of the wrist that carries the median nerve and the finger tendons). Tingling, numbness, or aching can appear in the thumb, index, middle, and the thumb‑side half of the ring finger. Pinch can feel weak or unsteady. Pressing the front of the wrist (palm side) on a firm edge, holding a handle or bar, turning lids, using small fasteners, using small controls, typing, and writing can feel less steady when symptoms are active.

Why symptoms happen

When the wrist is bent up or bent down, the space in the tunnel reduces and pressure on the median nerve rises, so tingling starts sooner and lasts longer. Pressing the front of the wrist on a firm edge focuses pressure in the same area. When feeling drops, many people hold very tightly or keep the wrist in one fixed position to feel in control; that makes the median nerve irritation last longer, especially at night or after a break.

How common and who’s at risk

Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in working‑age adults. Risk is higher when there is less room in the tunnel, when the contents of the tunnel are a little swollen, or when the nerve is more sensitive to pressure.

  • Smaller wrists or a family pattern: a tighter tunnel means pressure rises faster during everyday bending and gripping.
  • Pregnancy and fluid retention: the tendon lining can puff up slightly, leaving less space; symptoms often ease as fluid settles after pregnancy.
  • Repeated or forceful gripping: the tendon lining can swell after heavy or repeated use, crowding the tunnel until it settles.
  • Diabetes or inflammatory conditions: the median nerve can be more sensitive, so lower levels of pressing bring on tingling.
  • Long periods with the wrist bent up or down: these positions reduce space in the tunnel and can slow blood flow to the nerve.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Night or early‑morning tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
  • Brief relief when you shake or move the hand
  • Tingling that appears sooner when you press the front of the wrist on a firm edge, hold a handle or bar, open jars, write, or type
  • Pinch feels weaker; small items are easier to drop
  • Aching at the front of the wrist after busy periods

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will ask which fingers are affected and when symptoms appear, then check whether gentle wrist bending or pressing the front of the wrist brings on tingling. They will assess grip, pinch, and light touch in the median‑nerve area. Tests can help confirm the diagnosis and guide care when needed.

Things to watch out for

  • Numbness that lasts for several hours despite rest and position changes
  • Noticeable pinch weakness or dropping small items more often
  • Thinning at the padded base of the thumb over time
  • Increasing pain that does not settle with lighter use
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

If the median nerve stays under pressure, feeling and pinch strength can fall and recovery slows. Easing pressure at the front of the wrist and keeping the wrist nearer to straight help you keep using your hands comfortably while you arrange any further care.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cold reduces finger feeling, so many people grip more firmly and keep one wrist position to feel in control. That tighter, fixed position raises pressure at the front of the wrist and tingling builds faster. In the other direction, ache or numbness from carpal tunnel syndrome encourages guarded holding, which can make fingers feel colder and episodes last longer. Light, even warmth and a softer feel at the front of the wrist help everyday use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to reduce sharp pressing at the front of the wrist and help you hold and turn with less grip strength—without restricting movement. The inner fabric feels soft along the heel of the hand and across the front of the wrist (palm side), so when you press a firm edge, hold a handle, or turn a lid, one small area over the median‑nerve region is not pressed as hard. A thin and flexible design lets the wrist and fingers move freely instead of holding a bent‑up or bent‑down angle that increases tunnel pressure, so you can place the hand and adjust the wrist while you work.

Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm improve hold on smooth bars, handles, and containers. When these feel steadier, you can use less squeeze and you are less likely to fix the wrist to compensate. Steadier warmth helps the fingers feel more responsive, so it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help keep the inside drier on longer use; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You will notice that pressing a firm edge stings less, small controls feel more secure without a very tight grip, and jar turns feel steadier with the wrist nearer to straight.

Fit notes (front‑of‑wrist comfort; no cuff pressure)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from the front of the wrist (palm side) and the heel of the hand; if a seam sits over a tender spot, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Sit the cuff just above or just below the front of the wrist to avoid a narrow band across sensitive areas. Make sure fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge, and check you can bend and straighten fully without tugging.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Pressing a firm edge at the front of the wrist feels gentler, the first few holds and turns after a break feel calmer, and you can use less squeeze—even in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steady warmth helps you keep effort down. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Trigger Finger (stenosing tenosynovitis)

What trigger finger is and what it affects

Trigger finger happens when the flexor tendon does not slide smoothly through the A1 pulley (a short tunnel at the base of the finger or thumb). This can cause soreness at the finger base, a click or catch as you bend and straighten, and sometimes a brief lock in a bent position. Pressing the finger base on a firm edge, gripping a narrow handle, turning a jar rim, and using clips or small tools can bring on a click sooner and make the sore spot at the base feel sharper.

Why symptoms happen

With irritation, the tendon lining and the A1 pulley can thicken. As you bend, the tendon moves under the pulley and can catch; as you straighten, it releases with a click. Pressing the base of the finger on a firm edge focuses pressure along the pulley line, so that area feels sore more quickly. Holding the finger slightly bent for long periods keeps load on the pulley; the first few straightens after a break can sting.

How common and who’s at risk

Trigger finger is common in mid‑life and beyond. Risk is higher when the pulley and tendon see repeated load at the same spot or when tissues are more reactive.

  • Repeated or forceful gripping (tools, gardening, scissors): the same part of the tendon slides under the pulley again and again, which irritates the lining and makes catching more likely.
  • Narrow or firm handles: small diameters and hard edges press the pulley line, so soreness builds sooner.
  • Diabetes or inflammatory arthritis: tendon and pulley tissues can thicken with less use than usual.
  • A recent jump in hand use (new hobby, DIY, long days with tools): use rises faster than tissues can settle, so the tendon lining swells and catching increases.
  • Local swelling after a strain at the finger base: extra fluid reduces space under the pulley, so the tendon is more likely to catch.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • A tender spot at the base of the finger or thumb, often felt at the base where the skin folds in the palm
  • Clicking or catching as you bend or straighten; sometimes a brief lock that needs effort to release
  • After a break or on waking, the first few bends and straightens feel stiff or sharp, then ease a little
  • Pressing a firm edge, gripping a narrow handle, or turning a jar rim makes the sore spot build faster

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician presses over the A1 pulley at the finger base to check for tenderness or a small nodule (a small lump on the tendon), then feels for catching as you bend and straighten. They will distinguish this from Dupuytren’s cord (a tightened band of tissue under the skin of the palm) and from joint problems that limit straightening for other reasons. Imaging is not usually needed unless the picture is unclear.

Things to watch out for

  • A finger that stays bent and will not straighten, even with the other hand
  • Increasing swelling, warmth, or redness at the finger base
  • Loss of pinch or grip because catching has become frequent
  • Pain that disturbs sleep or does not settle with lighter use
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

If catching continues, the tendon and pulley can thicken further and movement becomes more awkward and tiring. Everyday gripping then needs more effort. Softening pressing along the pulley line, avoiding long spells in one finger position, and easing the first bends and straightens helps you keep using your hands while you arrange further care if needed.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, many people hold with the finger slightly bent and stick to one way of gripping to feel in control. That loads the A1 pulley and makes catching more likely as you start to straighten. Pressing the finger base on a firm edge while the finger feels numb focuses force on the pulley line, so soreness builds quickly. In the other direction, a painful pulley leads to guarded, firm holding, which can make fingers feel colder and episodes last longer. A thin warm layer and a softer feel along the pulley line make using your hands in cool air easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to reduce pressing at the finger base and make early movement smoother—without restricting your hands. The inner fabric spreads pressure across the base of the finger so a firm edge or narrow handle does not press the A1 pulley as hard. The inside slides smoothly over the skin folds in the palm as you bend and straighten, so the first few bends after a break feel easier and the tendon can pass under the pulley with fewer snags. A thin and flexible design lets the finger rest in a gentle curve rather than being held very straight, which helps reduce pulling tight against the pulley at rest.

Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm give extra hold on slim tools, clips, and narrow handles, so you can pinch with less grip strength over the pulley area and still keep control. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps early movement feel easier after a break, so you do not need to grip as hard to stay in control. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the inside feel drier if you wear the gloves longer; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. This is comfort, not a brace, so your fingers can bend and straighten freely. You will notice fewer sharp tugs at the finger base when you press a firm edge, and those first clicks after a break are milder and settle sooner.

Fit notes (pulley comfort; easy glide over skin folds in the palm)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from the sore spot at the finger base. If a seam sits over that area, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. When you make a gentle fist and open fully, the fabric should slide smoothly over the skin folds in the palm without tugging. Make sure fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge.

What you’ll feel + our promise

The first few bends and straightens after a break feel smoother, pressing a firm edge at the finger base is less sharp, and you can pinch and hold slim items with less squeeze—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, a thin warm layer helps reduce catching as you start using your hands again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Tendonitis and RSI (hands)

What tendonitis and RSI are and what they affect

Tendonitis means an irritated tendon or its lining—tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon lining). RSI is a practical label for symptoms that build with repeated hand use. In the hand, the flexor tendons (palm side), the extensor tendons (back of the hand), and tendons along the thumb‑side of the wrist can each be involved. People notice a narrow sore tendon line they can point to, aching on gripping or turning, and a sharp sting when a narrow surface presses the same spot. Gripping lids, using scissors, holding a thin handle or strap, and resting the palm on a firm edge can tire or sting the same tendon line.

Why symptoms happen

Repeated holding and turning can rub an irritated tendon or its lining, so sliding is not smooth and bending or straightening feels sore. Small diameters and firm edges press one small area, which aggravates the same tendon line. Keeping one hand position for a long time keeps pressing the same sore line, so the first few movements after being still can feel stiff, scratchy, or sharp.

How common and who’s at risk

Tendon‑related hand pain is common. Risk is higher when pressing and rubbing focus on the same place or when tissues react more easily.

  • Repeated or forceful gripping (tools, gardening, DIY): the same part of the tendon takes strain again and again, so the lining can inflame and sliding worsens.
  • Narrow or firm handles: small diameters make you squeeze harder to keep control, so one small area is pressed harder.
  • Awkward wrist or thumb angles: when the wrist is bent up or down or the thumb tucks hard across the palm, tendons rub more and the lining is stressed.
  • Handle size that does not suit your hand: if a handle is too small or too large, you compensate by twisting or pinching harder, which overloads one tendon line.
  • A sudden jump in hand use: a quick rise in holding and turning outpaces tissue recovery, so the lining swells and soreness appears with less effort.
  • Inflammatory conditions: more reactive linings mean lighter use can trigger swelling and pain.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • A specific sore tendon line you can feel with a fingertip (for example, along the thumb‑side of the wrist or the finger flexor line in the palm)
  • Stiffness on the first few movements after being still, easing a little as you continue
  • Soreness that appears sooner with narrow handles, a firm edge, jars, or secateurs
  • Local warmth or mild swelling over the sore line after busy periods
  • Sometimes a slight creak under the finger during bend and straighten

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician asks where the pain runs, which hand actions load it, and whether it eases with rest. They press along the tendon line for tenderness, test movements that reproduce the pain, and look for swelling of the lining. They will distinguish this from joint problems, nerve irritation, or trigger finger, which change treatment. Imaging is used if the diagnosis is unclear or another cause is suspected.

Things to watch out for

  • A sudden sharp pain with loss of function (possible tear—seek advice from a clinician)
  • Spreading redness, increasing warmth, or fever
  • Night pain that does not settle with lighter use
  • Tingling or numbness suggesting a nerve is being irritated

Why it matters to act

If the same sore tendon line keeps taking pressure in the same way, soreness lingers and everyday gripping and turning take more effort. Softening pressing, avoiding long holds, and smoothing the first movements after a break help you keep using your hands while symptoms settle.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cold reduces fingertip feeling. Many people then grip very tightly and keep the same hold to avoid slips. That unchanging hold presses the same sore tendon line for longer, so stinging builds faster. In the other direction, a painful tendon line leads to guarded gripping, which can make fingers feel colder and cool spells last longer. A thin warm layer and a softer feel on a firm edge and narrow handles make hand use in cool air easier.

How the gloves help for this condition

These gloves are designed to reduce pressure along sore tendon lines and make it easier to hold and turn with less grip strength, without restricting movement. The inner fabric spreads the load so a firm edge or a narrow handle does not press one small area as hard along the sore line in the palm, across the knuckles, or at the thumb‑side of the wrist. When you rest the palm or the heel of the hand, pressing there feels less sharp. A thin and flexible design lets your wrist and fingers move freely, so you can place, hold, and turn without keeping one position that keeps rubbing the same irritated tendon. Because the fabric moves smoothly over the skin folds in the palm and over the finger joints, bending and straightening feel easier and there is less rubbing along the irritated tendon lining.

Light, even contact around the fingers and palm makes it easier to notice when you are gripping too hard and to loosen slightly while still keeping control. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth handles, containers, and tools, so you can use less squeeze while gripping and turning. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps early movement feel easier after a break, so you don’t need to grip as hard to stay in control. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres let heat escape gradually and keep the inside drier during longer use; when the skin is dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You can rest the palm on a firm edge briefly to steady the hand, hold a handle, or turn a lid with a lighter grip and less sting along the sore tendon line.

Fit notes (seams off sore lines; easy glide)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from the sore tendon line—common areas include the thumb‑side of the wrist, the finger flexor line in the palm, and the line across the knuckles. If a seam sits on a tender spot, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Open and close your hand: the fabric should slide smoothly over the skin folds in the palm without tugging. Make sure the thumb web feels unpinched and fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Pressing on the sore tendon line feels gentler, the first few movements after a break feel smoother, and you can hold and turn with less effort—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, a thin warm layer helps reduce the stiffness that leads to over‑gripping. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Thumb‑base Osteoarthritis (CMC‑1)

What thumb‑base osteoarthritis is and what it affects

Thumb‑base osteoarthritis affects the thumb base (the CMC‑1 joint, where the thumb meets the wrist). As cartilage thins, the small joint surfaces at the base of the thumb can become sore and everyday pinch can feel weak or unsteady. People notice aching at the padded base of the thumb, a sharper bite on pinch or turn, and extra effort with hand use that needs steady thumb control. Pinching and turning lids or keys, fastening buttons, and holding a narrow handle or strap are common triggers.

Why symptoms happen

When cartilage thins, more pressure reaches the small joint surfaces at the base of the thumb during pinch and turning. The joint is stressed most when the thumb tucks hard across the palm and the wrist is bent up or down. Narrow handles and a firm edge press one small area at the thumb base, so soreness builds sooner. After being still, the first few turns and pinches can feel stiff or unsteady until the joint moves more freely.

How common and who’s at risk

Thumb‑base osteoarthritis is common, especially with age. Risk is higher when the joint moves further and has less support, or when pressing focuses on a small area.

  • Women and family history: the joint can be a little smaller and the ligaments looser, so the thumb moves further and the small joint surfaces meet at sharper angles during pinch. Changes around mid‑life can reduce ligament support and affect cartilage upkeep, so symptoms may appear or progress sooner.
  • Hypermobility or lax ligaments: if ligaments are looser, the thumb tucks across the palm more easily, which increases pressure at the base and makes pinch sore more quickly.
  • Frequent pinch and turning (lids, keys, scissors, fasteners): repeated pinch focuses pressure on the same small joint, so aching and sharp spots show up earlier in the day.
  • Wrist bent up or down during grip: non‑neutral wrist positions push the thumb base harder into its socket, so turning and pinch feel sore sooner.
  • Narrow or ill‑fitting handles: small diameters make you squeeze harder and tuck the thumb across the palm to keep control, concentrating pressure at the base.
  • A sudden jump in hand use or a past sprain at the thumb base: irritated tissues have lower tolerance for a while, so pain appears with less effort until they settle.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Aching or sharp pain at the base of the thumb with pinch, turning, or after busy periods
  • Pinch feels weak or unsteady; you may squeeze harder to compensate
  • Lids, keys, small fasteners, and narrow handles make soreness build quickly
  • Stiffness after being still that eases a little as you continue
  • Sometimes a brief grind or catch at the thumb base on turning

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician presses around the CMC‑1 joint to find sore areas, checks pinch strength, and moves the thumb while it is folded across the palm to see if that brings on pain. They will distinguish thumb‑base osteoarthritis from tendon problems at the thumb‑side of the wrist and from nerve‑related symptoms. X‑rays can help grade severity or rule out other causes, though symptoms do not always match the picture.

Things to watch out for

  • Pain that persists at rest and disturbs sleep
  • Swelling and warmth at the thumb base that does not settle
  • Loss of pinch that makes key hand use difficult
  • A sudden increase in pain with a catching or grinding feel
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

If the thumb base is pressed hard and often, pain grows and pinch control drops. Many people then squeeze harder, which adds fatigue without improving comfort. Spreading pressure at the thumb base, keeping holds lighter, and easing early turns help you keep using your hands while you arrange longer‑term care.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cool air reduces feeling at the fingertips and can stiffen the thumb base, so people often grip more firmly and keep one position. That tighter hold bends the wrist and tucks the thumb across the palm, which raises pressure at the base and brings on ache sooner. In the other direction, a sore thumb base leads to guarded holding that can make fingers feel colder and cool spells last longer. A thin warm layer and a softer feel on handles and straps make pinch and small turns in cool air easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to soften pressing at the thumb base and make pinch and small turns steadier with less bite—without restricting movement. The inner fabric spreads pressure across a wider area of the padded base of the thumb, so a firm edge or a narrow handle does not press one small area as hard. A thin and flexible design leaves space at the web between the thumb and index finger and supports a more open thumb position, so you are less likely to tuck the thumb hard across the palm during pinch. Keeping the thumb more open reduces stress at the thumb base when you hold and turn.

Light, even contact around the fingers and palm makes it easier to notice when you are squeezing too hard and to back off slightly while keeping control. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth keys, lids, and slim handles, so you can pinch and turn with less grip strength. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps early movement feel easier after a break, so the first few pinches and turns need less effort. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres let heat escape gradually and help keep the inside drier during longer use; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You can press a key, hold a narrow handle, or turn a lid with a lighter squeeze and fewer sharp twinges at the thumb base.

Fit notes (thumb base and thumb web comfort)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams off the tender area at the thumb base. Sit the cuff just above or just below the front‑of‑wrist crease on the thumb‑side so there is no narrow band of pressure over sore spots. Make sure the space between thumb and index feels unpinched. Try a key‑pinch and a gentle turn: the fabric should slide without tugging. Fingertip ends should not press on the nail edge.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Pinch and turning feel steadier with less bite at the base of the thumb, and you can hold with a lighter grip—even in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, a thin warm layer helps you use less effort as you begin again after a break. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Hand Osteoarthritis (finger joints)

What hand osteoarthritis is and what it affects

Hand osteoarthritis affects the small finger joints—most often the DIP (end finger joint), PIP (middle finger joint), and sometimes the MCP (knuckle). As cartilage thins, these small joint surfaces can become sore. Many people notice aching with hand use, stiffness after being still, and sharper pain when using narrow handles or pressing on a firm edge. Buttons and zips, keys, drawer pulls, and slim handles can feel uncomfortable when symptoms are active.

Why symptoms happen

When cartilage thins, more pressure is carried by small areas in each joint. Narrow handles and a firm edge press one small area, so pain starts sooner. Small bony bumps can change the joint’s shape, which makes pressing and rubbing feel sharper. Pressing with the fingertip can also push back into the end joint, which is why tapping or pressing small items may sting.

How common and who’s at risk

Hand osteoarthritis is common, especially with age. Risk is higher when small joints manage focused pressure or have less support over time.

  • Genetics and women in mid‑ to later life: joint shape can be inherited, and ligament support may be looser; changes around menopause can affect cartilage upkeep.
  • Frequent fine pinch and gripping (buttons, keys, tools, crafts): repeated, small‑area pressure focuses on the end and middle finger joints.
  • Narrow or ill‑fitting handles and a firm edge: smaller diameters make you squeeze harder to keep control, concentrating pressure on small joint surfaces.
  • Prior finger injuries (sprain, fracture, dislocation): small alignment changes can shift pressure onto one side of a joint.
  • A sudden jump in hand use: a quick rise in turning and fastening can outpace joint tolerance for a while.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Stiffness after being still that eases a little as you get moving
  • Aching or sharper spots around end, middle, or knuckle joints during pinch, turning, or pressing
  • Small, firm bumps at the end (DIP) or middle (PIP) finger joints
  • Buttons, zips, keys, slim handles, and a firm edge bring on soreness sooner
  • After busy periods, joints feel puffy or mildly swollen
  • Sometimes a faint grating feeling at one joint on movement

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician examines which joints are sore, checks movement and grip, and feels for small, firm bumps. They will distinguish this from inflammatory arthritis and from tendon or pulley problems. X‑rays can show joint space narrowing and small bony spurs, but symptoms do not always match the picture; imaging is used if the diagnosis is unclear or to grade severity.

Things to watch out for

  • A hot, red, very painful single joint
  • Morning stiffness that lasts an hour or more most days
  • Rapid change in one joint’s shape or new catching that limits movement
  • Pain at rest that disturbs sleep over several nights
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

When sore small joints are pressed hard and often, aching grows and fine control drops. Many people then squeeze harder to compensate, which adds fatigue without improving comfort. Spreading pressure on the surfaces you press and hold, lightening your grip, and making the first few movements after a break smoother help you keep using your hands while you plan longer‑term options.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cold reduces fingertip feeling and can stiffen sore joints, so people often grip more firmly and keep the same hold. That unchanging grip focuses pressure on the small joints—especially near the fingertips—so turning and fastening feel sharper. In the other direction, painful finger joints can lead to guarded holding, which can make fingers feel colder and cool spells last longer. A thin warm layer and a softer feel on a firm edge, buttons, zips, and slim handles make hand use in cool air easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to reduce sharp pressing over small finger joints and make pinch and turning steadier with less squeeze—without restricting movement. Smooth fingertip finishing avoids pressing on the nail edge, which otherwise sends pressure back into the end joint and can sting. The inner fabric spreads pressure so a firm edge, buttons, zips, drawer pulls, and slim handles do not press one small area as hard over the end and middle joints. A thin and flexible design lets your fingers rest in a natural curve rather than being held straight, easing stress at the end joint during holding and turning.

Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth, slippery surfaces, so small items you turn or fasten and slim handles feel more secure with less grip strength. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps the first few movements after a break feel easier, so you do not need to grip as hard to stay in control. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help keep the inside drier on longer wear; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You will notice that pressing a firm edge feels less sharp over sore joints, and fastening and small turns feel steadier with less squeeze.

Fit notes (room for bumps; fingertip comfort)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Leave space over any bumps and keep seams off sore small joints; if a seam sits over a tender area, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Make sure fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge, and let your fingers rest in their natural curve rather than being held straight.

What you’ll feel + our promise

A firm edge, buttons, zips, and slim handles feel gentler over sore finger joints; the first few movements after a break are smoother; and you can hold and turn with less bite—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, a thin warm layer helps you use less squeeze. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Rheumatoid Arthritis (hands and wrists)

What rheumatoid arthritis is and what it affects

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that inflames the joint lining—synovium (joint lining)—and can also inflame the sheaths that guide tendons—tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon lining). In the hands and wrists it often affects both sides. People notice warm, puffy, tender small joints, aching that makes grip and pinch feel less controlled, and more effort with everyday hand use. Fastening, opening containers, turning things, pressing the front of the wrist (palm side) on a firm edge, and using small controls can feel sharper and less predictable on flare days.

Why symptoms happen

When the joint lining is inflamed, it produces extra fluid and the joint becomes warm and tender, so pressing around small finger joints or at the front of the wrist feels sore. Inflamed tendon sheaths increase friction along the tendon, so bending and straightening take more effort and can feel “catchy.” Holding one position presses the same sore areas, so the first movements after a break feel less steady. Narrow handles and a firm edge focus pressure on small areas, which brings on pain sooner during a flare.

How common and who’s at risk

RA can start at many adult ages and is more frequent in women. Risk is higher when the immune system is more likely to react against joint lining or to stay active once a response begins.

  • Genetics or a family history of autoimmune disease: inherited traits increase the chance that joint lining is targeted.
  • Women and hormonal shifts: RA occurs more in women; around pregnancy/post‑partum and mid‑life, hormonal changes can influence immune activity and symptom patterns.
  • Smoking (current or recent): smoking is associated with RA‑related antibodies and more active disease.
  • Higher overall disease activity: when other areas are flaring, hands and wrists often become more sore at the same time.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Morning or post‑rest stiffness that commonly lasts 30–60 minutes or more, easing as you start using your hands
  • Warm, puffy, tender small joints in the hands; wrists are often involved on both sides
  • Soreness along tendon sheaths (thumb‑side of the wrist, finger bases) on busy days
  • Fastening, opening containers, turning things, and using small controls feel more tiring on flare mornings but improve with gentle movement
  • Grip and pinch feel less controlled when several areas are active at once

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will review your pattern (morning stiffness, warmth, puffiness, ups and downs), examine small joints and tendon sheaths, and check grip and pinch. Blood tests that support an RA diagnosis and tests that show current inflammation can help confirm the cause. Imaging—often ultrasound—can show active inflammation in the joint lining or within tendon sheaths and helps distinguish RA from osteoarthritis or isolated tendon problems. X‑rays may be normal early on.

Things to watch out for

  • A hot, red, very painful joint with fever
  • Stiffness that lasts for hours most mornings despite treatment
  • Sudden loss of the ability to straighten or lift a finger
  • Rapid wrist swelling with tingling in the thumb, index, or middle finger
  • New numbness or persistent colour change that does not ease with gentle warming
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

On flare days, pressing sore small joints and inflamed tendon sheaths increases pain and makes movement feel less controlled. Shorter, varied holds, softer surfaces, and a lighter grip help you keep using your hands while medical care addresses disease activity.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cold reduces fingertip feeling and can stiffen inflamed tissues, so many people grip more firmly and keep the wrist in one position. That firmer, fixed hold focuses pressure on sore small joints and irritated tendon sheaths, so pain starts sooner when you meet a firm edge, handles, containers, or small controls. A thin warm layer and a softer feel on these surfaces makes using your hands in colder conditions easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to soften pressing where it is sore, reduce the grip strength you need, and keep movement comfortable—without restricting your hands. The inner fabric feels soft around small finger joints, across the front of the wrist (palm side), and along tender tendon sheaths, so pressing a firm edge, holding a handle, or turning something feels less sharp. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps stiffness after a break feel easier, so you do not need to grip as hard to stay in control. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth, slippery surfaces, so handles, containers, small controls, and lids feel more secure with less squeeze. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the inside feel drier on longer wear.

You will notice that opening, turning, and fastening feel more manageable on flare days, with less sting over sore areas and less need for a very tight grip.

Fit notes (puffy joints and sore areas)

Choose a close fit that is not tight, to allow for swelling on flare days. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams off sore small joints and away from tender tendon sheaths (for example, along the thumb‑side of the wrist and at finger bases). If a seam sits on a sore area, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Smooth fingertip finishing helps avoid pressure on the nail edge. Let your fingers rest in their natural curve.

What you’ll feel + our promise

On flare days, fastening, opening, and turning feel more manageable, with less sting over sore areas and less need to grip very tightly—even in cool air. On steadier days, the lighter, more secure hold helps you keep effort down. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Psoriatic Arthritis (hands)

What psoriatic arthritis is and what it affects

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory condition linked with psoriasis. It can inflame the joint lining—synovitis (inflammation of the joint lining)—the sheaths around tendons—tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon lining)—and the places where tendons attach to bone—entheses (tendon attachment points). In the hand, the small joints near the fingertip—DIP joints (end finger joints)—are often involved, and nails can show pitting or slight lifting. People notice aching or sharp spots around the DIP or PIP (middle finger) joints, tenderness at the nail edge—nailfold (skin at the base of the nail)—and soreness where tendons attach. Pressing near the nail or the fingertip joint—fastening, turning caps and lids, holding a narrow handle near the fingertips, and resting the finger on a firm edge—can sting and feel less controlled during a flare.

Why symptoms happen

Inflamed joint lining makes extra fluid and raises pressure in the joint, so pinch and pressing feel sore—especially beside the nail. When tendon sheaths are inflamed, sliding is not smooth; bending and straightening take more effort and can feel “catchy.” Where tendons attach to bone becomes sensitive to repeated pull; gripping and twisting load these spots, so they complain sooner on busy days. Narrow handles and a firm edge concentrate pressure at the small joint near the nail and at these tendon attachment areas. If a whole finger swells—dactylitis (a puffy, tight finger)—the finger feels tight, early bends feel heavy, and small surfaces can sting more than expected.

How common and who’s at risk

PsA can start at many adult ages and is more likely if you have psoriasis. Risk is higher when local inflammation is stronger around the nail and the small joint beside it, or when repeated pull and focused pressing are common.

  • Psoriasis with nail changes: higher immune activity around the nail and the nearby small joint makes soreness at the nail edge and fingertip joint more likely.
  • Family history of psoriasis or PsA: inherited traits raise the chance that small joints and tendon attachment areas will inflame.
  • Frequent pinch and twisting or narrow handles: repeated pull where tendons attach and focused pressing at the DIP/PIP joints bring on soreness sooner.
  • Flares elsewhere (other joints or the spine): when overall inflammation rises, the hands often become more sensitive at the same time.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • As you start using your hands after a break, the first few bends feel stiff, then ease a little
  • Soreness at the small joints near the fingertip (DIP) and the middle joint (PIP)
  • Tender spots where tendons attach (for example, along the sides of finger joints or at the thumb‑side of the wrist)
  • Nail edge sensitivity; pressing a small surface with the fingertip stings more than expected
  • Times when a whole finger looks puffy and feels tight (dactylitis)
  • Nail changes such as pitting or slight lifting from the nail bed

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will review your psoriasis history, look for nail changes, check which small joints are sore (DIP involvement is common), and press where tendons attach to check for tenderness. They will distinguish PsA from rheumatoid arthritis (different joint pattern and symmetry) and from osteoarthritis (different stiffness pattern and bony bumps). Imaging, often ultrasound, can show inflammation in the joint lining or at tendon attachment areas; X‑rays may be normal early on.

Things to watch out for

  • A single finger that becomes very swollen, hot, and painful
  • Nailfold redness with discharge or signs of infection
  • Stiffness that lasts an hour or more most mornings
  • Cracked skin around the nailfold that is not improving
  • New weakness or clumsiness that limits daily hand use
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

Repeated pressing near the nail and fingertip joints, and repeated pull where tendons attach, can keep flares active and make everyday hand use take more effort. Softer pressing, lighter holds, and gentle movement after a break help you keep using your hands while medical treatment addresses inflammation.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

Cold reduces fingertip feeling and can tighten sore tendon attachment areas, so people often grip more firmly and keep the same hold. That adds pressure at the small joint near the nail and tugs on tender spots for longer, so soreness builds faster. If Raynaud’s also occurs, reduced fingertip feeling leads to extra squeeze and cool spells that last longer. Even warmth and a softer feel on a firm edge, narrow handles, and small controls make work near the nail and fingertip joints feel less sharp in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to protect the fingertip and nailfold, soften pressing over the small joint near the nail, and ease load at tender tendon attachment areas—without restricting hand movement. The inner fabric feels soft at the fingertip pads and around the nailfold, so pressing small items, fastening, or resting the fingertip on a firm edge does not press one small area as hard. Pressure is spread across a wider area along the sides of finger joints and at the thumb‑side of the wrist, which helps when tendon attachments feel sore after repeated gripping or turning.

A thin and flexible design lets your fingers and wrist move freely rather than holding one position that keeps pressing the same sore spots. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm improve hold on small, smooth items and narrow handles near the fingertips, so you can pinch and turn with less grip strength. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps early movement feel easier after a break, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help keep the inside drier on longer wear; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You will notice that near‑nail pressing stings less, and small turns near the fingertip feel steadier with a lighter pinch.

Fit notes (protect fingertip and nail fold)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Leave space at the fingertip so nothing presses the nail edge. Keep seams away from the small joint near the nail and the nailfold; if a seam sits close to a tender spot, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Let your fingers rest in their natural curve rather than being pushed flat.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Near the nail and the small joints at the fingertip, pressing feels gentler; the first few bends after a break feel easier; and you can pinch, turn, and fasten with less sting—even in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, even warmth helps you use less squeeze as you begin again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Scleroderma (hands)

What scleroderma is and what it affects

Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) affects small blood vessels and the connective tissue in skin. In the hands this often brings strong cold sensitivity—Raynaud’s episodes (colour change and pain in the cold)—fingers that are puffy and later feel tighter, reduced bend and straightening, and tender skin at the finger ends. Some people develop tiny calcium deposits under the skin—calcinosis (small hard specks under the skin)—or fingertip ulcers. When fingers are cold, puffy, or sore, turning caps and lids, fastening, resting the hand on a firm edge, and handling small, fiddly items can be difficult. The finger pads are the soft ends of the fingers; the nailfold is the skin at the base of the nail.

Why symptoms happen

Cold can make small vessels spasm, so blood flow drops and fingers turn pale or blue and feel numb or painful. As you warm up, flow returns quickly and the sting can be sharp—especially in wind. Over time, tighter skin limits movement, so small movements feel tight and pressure lands on smaller spots. Narrow handles and a firm edge press those spots—the finger pads, the nailfold, and bony areas—so pain starts sooner. Moisture on the skin evaporates and cools the fingers faster, which increases sting as you warm up. If calcinosis is present, a tiny hard speck under the skin can make pressing feel sore from the inside.

How common and who’s at risk

Scleroderma is more often diagnosed in women. In the hands, discomfort and skin problems are more likely when:

  • Raynaud’s episodes are frequent or severe (long‑lasting or painful), because repeated vessel spasm lowers finger temperature and slows skin recovery.
  • You spend time in cold, wind, or damp conditions, because fingers cool quickly and sting more as you warm up; wind speeds cooling and damp skin cools faster.
  • Fingers are puffy or the skin feels tight, because movement is limited and pressure lands on smaller spots that hurt sooner.
  • You smoke, because it restricts blood flow and slows healing.
  • Your day involves many small, repeated touches (buttons, zips, caps), because tender skin at the finger pads and nailfold irritates more quickly.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Colour change in the cold (pale/blue), then tingling, throb, or ache as you warm up
  • Puffy or tight fingers that limit bending and straightening
  • Tender finger pads or nailfolds; pressing a small item or a firm edge stings more than expected
  • Sore areas that take longer to settle after busy periods, especially if the skin was damp and cool
  • A pinpoint‑tender bump under the skin (calcinosis) or splits/ulcers at the fingertip

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will review your Raynaud’s pattern, look for puffy or tight skin, compare finger movement, and examine the nailfolds. They may feel for tiny hard specks under the skin (calcinosis) or a faint rub as tendons move. Blood tests can support the diagnosis. Looking at the nailfolds under magnification, or using imaging, helps assess small‑vessel changes and plan care.

Things to watch out for

  • New fingertip ulcers, broken skin, or discharge
  • Spreading redness, increasing warmth, or fever
  • Episodes that last much longer than usual or colour change that does not ease with gentle warming
  • A rapid drop in finger movement or a new, very tender calcinosis spot
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

Cold, wind, damp skin, and narrow, hard pressing can keep sensitive areas irritated and raise the chance of ulcers. Even warmth, dry skin, and a softer feel on edges and handles reduce pain and lower the risk of skin breakdown, so everyday hand use is more manageable while medical care addresses the condition.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what makes hand use harder here

During an episode the finger pads and nailfolds feel numb or painful, and it is harder to judge how firmly you are holding. Many people grip very tightly and keep one position to avoid slips; that keeps pressing the same sore spots and recovery is slower. Pressing a firm edge when fingers feel numb loads those areas, so tenderness builds quickly. Even warmth, dry skin, and a softer feel on edges, handles, containers, and small controls make using your hands in cool air easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to keep warmth steady, protect sensitive fingertip skin, and help you hold small items with less squeeze—without restricting movement. A thin warm layer next to the skin helps prevent rapid cooling outdoors and reduces sharp sting as you warm up indoors. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres move light moisture off the skin and reduce evaporative cooling in wind, which helps warmth feel steadier across the fingers.

The inner fabric feels soft at the finger pads, around the nailfolds, and over bony areas, so pressing small items and brief pressing on a firm edge feel gentler. A thin and flexible design lets you bend and straighten without forcing the fingers flatter than they rest, and shaping follows your hand so you are not held in one position. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth, slippery surfaces, so buttons, clips, polished handles, and small, fiddly items feel more secure with less grip strength. In cold weather, wear these as a base under a roomy outer glove or mitten to keep warmth even without narrow bands that press the skin.

Fit notes (protect nailfold and sore skin)

Choose a size that is close but not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from the nailfolds, finger pads, and any tender calcinosis spot; if a seam sits close, position the glove slightly so it lies beside the area. Slide the gloves on and off smoothly rather than pulling at one point. Change to a dry pair if the fabric becomes damp. Do not wear over broken skin.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Fingers feel warmer, warming up stings less, and turning caps, fastening, and handling small, fiddly items feels more manageable while the skin settles. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steady warmth helps episodes interrupt you less. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Lupus (hands and wrists)

What lupus is and what it affects

Lupus is a systemic autoimmune condition that can inflame the joint lining—synovium (joint lining)—and the sheaths that guide tendons—tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon lining). In the hands and wrists this can mean aching, warmth, and stiffness across several small joints, sometimes with soreness along tendon sheaths. When these areas are active, fastening, opening containers, turning things, pressing the front of the wrist (palm side) on a firm edge, and handling small, fiddly items can feel sharper and more tiring—especially during flares.

Why symptoms happen

Inflamed joint lining produces extra fluid and increases sensitivity, so pressing around small finger joints or at the front of the wrist feels sore. When tendon sheaths are inflamed, sliding is not smooth; bending and straightening take more effort and can feel “catchy.” Holding one position presses the same sore areas, so the first movements after a break feel less steady. Narrow handles and a firm edge press small areas harder, which brings on pain sooner during a flare.

How common and who’s at risk

Lupus can start at many adult ages and is reported more often in women. Hand and wrist symptoms are more likely when:

  • There is a family history of autoimmune conditions, because inherited traits raise the chance that the joint lining and tendon sheaths will inflame during flares.
  • Overall disease activity is higher, because when lupus is active elsewhere, inflammation in small hand joints and tendon sheaths often increases at the same time.
  • Cold sensitivity or Raynaud’s is present, because reduced fingertip feeling can lead to a very tight grip that presses sore areas more.
  • Flares are triggered by sunlight, illness, or stress, because the same flare can involve the hands and wrists as well as other areas.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Morning or post‑rest stiffness that eases as you start using your hands
  • Warm, puffy small joints in the hands; wrists can be involved on both sides
  • Soreness along tendon sheaths at the thumb‑side of the wrist or at finger bases during busier spells
  • Fastening, opening containers, turning things, and using small controls feel more tiring on flare mornings but improve with gentle movement
  • Ache that builds after hand use when several areas are active together

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will ask which joints and tendon sheaths are sore, how long stiffness lasts, and whether symptoms come in flares. They will examine small finger joints and the wrists, press along tendon sheaths, and check grip and pinch. Blood tests that support a lupus diagnosis, and tests that show current inflammation, can help confirm the cause. Ultrasound may show inflamed joint lining or tendon sheaths and helps distinguish lupus‑related problems from osteoarthritis or isolated tendon issues.

Things to watch out for

  • Joints that stay warm, puffy, or very tender
  • Stiffness that lasts an hour or more after being still
  • New difficulty with fastening, opening containers, or turning things for several weeks
  • A sudden increase in wrist pain with weakness or a “catch” on straightening
  • New numbness or persistent colour change that does not ease with gentle warming
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

If sore small joints and tight tendon sheaths are pressed hard and often, pain builds, movement feels less controlled, and discomfort at rest can appear. Using softer surfaces, keeping a lighter grip, and planning short rests in flares help you keep using your hands while medical care addresses disease activity.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what makes hand use harder here

Cold reduces fingertip feeling and can stiffen sore areas, so many people grip very tightly and keep the wrist in one position. That fixed hold focuses pressure on sore small joints and tender tendon sheaths, so pain starts sooner when you meet a firm edge, handles, containers, or small controls. A thin warm layer and a softer feel on these surfaces make turning, fastening, and small handling in cool air easier.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to soften pressing over sore small joints and along tender tendon sheaths, help you use less grip strength, and keep movement comfortable—without restricting your hands. The inner fabric feels soft around small finger joints, across the front of the wrist (palm side), and along the thumb‑side tendon sheaths, so pressing a firm edge, holding a handle, or turning something feels less sharp. A thin and flexible design lets the wrists and fingers move and change position instead of keeping one posture that keeps pressing the same sore areas. This makes it easier to keep the wrist moving lightly rather than holding it still when fatigue builds.

Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth, slippery surfaces, so handles, containers, small controls, and lids feel more secure with less squeeze. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps stiffness after a break feel easier, so you do not need to grip as hard to stay in control. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the inside feel drier on longer wear; when the skin feels dry, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. You will notice that opening, turning, and fastening feel more manageable on flare mornings, with less sting over sore areas and less need for a very tight grip.

Fit notes (room for swelling; seams off sore areas)

Choose a close fit that is not tight. If swelling varies, choose the larger of two sizes. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from sore small joints and tender tendon sheaths (for example, along the thumb‑side of the wrist or at finger bases). If a seam sits on a sore spot, position the glove slightly so the seam lies beside it. Fingertip ends should not press on the nail edge; let the fingers rest in their natural curve.

What you’ll feel + our promise

On flare days, fastening, opening, and turning feel more manageable with less sting over sore areas and less need to grip very tightly—even in cool air. On steadier days, the lighter, more secure hold helps you keep effort down. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Chilblains

What chilblains are and what they affect

Chilblains are cold‑related inflammation of the small skin vessels. On the fingers they show as red or purple areas that can itch, sting, or feel tender to the touch. The finger pads (the soft ends of the fingers), finger sides, and sometimes the backs of the fingers (nail side) are most often affected. The nailfold (the skin at the base of the nail) can also be sore. When chilblains are active, turning things, fastening, resting the hand on a firm edge, and handling small, fiddly items can feel sharper and less comfortable—especially where the skin is tender.

Why symptoms happen

Cold narrows small vessels; as you warm up, vessels reopen and fluid can leak into nearby tissue, making the area sore and sensitive. Wind speeds cooling. Damp skin cools faster and makes stinging sharper as you warm up. Narrow handles and a firm edge press one small area, so those sore areas feel worse sooner. If skin is rubbed or pressed repeatedly while sensitive, soreness lasts longer and the surface can split.

How common and who’s at risk

Chilblains are more common in colder months. Risk is higher when:

  • You spend time in cold, windy, or damp conditions, because fingers cool quickly and sting more as you warm up.
  • You move quickly from cold air into a warm room, because sudden warming can bring a brief throb or itch.
  • Raynaud’s episodes are frequent or severe, because repeated vessel spasm lowers finger temperature and slows skin recovery.
  • Cuffs, straps, or bands are tight, because a narrow band slows local warming and irritates sensitive skin.
  • Gloves or skin stay damp outdoors, because moisture evaporates and cools the fingers faster.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • After time in cold or damp air, finger pads or finger sides tingle or sting and red/purple areas appear
  • Pressing a firm edge or a narrow handle makes the sting sharper
  • Warming up too quickly indoors can bring a brief throb or itch before easing
  • Handling small, fiddly items irritates sore areas
  • Sore patches can linger for days and feel tender after busy periods

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician usually recognises chilblains by their appearance, the seasonal pattern, and where they occur on the fingers. They will ask about time in cold or damp conditions and how the skin behaves as you warm up. Tests are rarely needed unless the appearance is unusual, slow to settle, or another condition is suspected.

Things to watch out for

  • Broken skin, blisters, or any discharge from a sore area
  • Spreading redness, increasing warmth, or fever
  • Severe pain that does not ease with steady warmth and protection
  • Areas that do not improve over two to three weeks despite care
    If these occur, seek advice from a clinician.

Why it matters to act

Cracked or blistered skin increases infection risk. Repeated pressing on tender spots delays healing and leaves skin more reactive the next time you are in cool air. Keeping temperature changes gradual and making a firm edge, handles, containers, and small controls feel softer helps you use your hands more comfortably and lowers the chance of sores that interrupt daily hand use.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, it is harder to tell how firmly you are holding. Many people grip very tightly and keep the same hold to avoid slips; that keeps pressing the same sore spots and stinging lasts longer. Pressing a firm edge when fingers feel numb loads those areas, so tenderness builds quickly. Even warmth, dry skin, and a softer feel on a firm edge, handles, containers, and small controls reduce stinging in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

These gloves are designed to keep warmth steady, protect tender fingertip skin, and make it easier to hold small items with a lighter grip—without restricting movement. A thin warm layer next to the skin moderates cooling outdoors and softens the sharp sting as you warm up indoors. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres move light moisture off the skin and reduce evaporative cooling in wind, which helps warmth feel steadier across the fingers.

The inner fabric feels soft at the finger pads, along the finger sides, over the backs of the fingers (nail side), and around the nailfolds, so early touches and brief pressing on a firm edge feel gentler. A thin and flexible design lets your fingers bend and straighten without forcing them flatter than they rest, so you are not held in one position. Thin silicone strips on the finger pads and palm add hold on smooth, slippery surfaces, so buttons, clips, polished handles, and small, fiddly items feel more secure with less grip strength. In cold weather, wear these as a base under a roomy outer glove or mitten to keep warmth even without a narrow band that presses the skin.

Fit notes (easy fit; protect sore skin)

Choose a size that is close but not tight. After a few minutes, the cuff should not leave indentations. Keep seams away from sore areas—finger pads, finger sides, backs of the fingers (nail side), and the nailfolds. If a seam sits close, position the glove slightly so it lies beside the area. Slide the gloves on and off smoothly rather than pulling at one point. Change to a dry pair if the fabric becomes damp. Do not wear over broken skin. Start with short wear periods and extend as skin feels comfortable.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Fingers feel warmer in cool air; as you warm up, pressing a firm edge or handling small, fiddly items feels less sharp. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steady warmth helps episodes interrupt you less. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Hand‑Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)

What hand‑arm vibration syndrome is and what it affects

Hand‑arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) can develop after long exposure to vibrating tools and equipment. It can affect small blood vessels in the fingers (colour change and strong cold sensitivity) and nerves (tingling, numb areas, and reduced light touch). People notice episodes of colour change, numbness or tingling, reduced feel at the fingertip pads, and a tendency to use a very tight grip to stay in control. When these changes are present, using your hands and fingers to hold a handle, turn a control, carry, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), and handle small items can feel less steady—especially in cool conditions or after recent vibration exposure.

Why symptoms happen

Repeated vibration stresses small blood vessels so they react more in cool conditions, limiting blood flow and provoking colour change. Nerve endings can also be less dependable, so it is harder to feel what your fingers are doing. With less feeling, many people grip more strongly and keep the hand in one position to feel secure. That firmer, longer hold increases fatigue and can make tingling build during and after hand use.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Months or years of vibrating tool use increase risk because vessels and nerves in the fingers are stressed repeatedly.
  • Cool or damp work environments raise risk because colour‑change episodes are triggered more easily.
  • Higher vibration levels and longer exposure per day increase risk because strain on vessels and nerves is higher.
  • Smoking raises risk because circulation is reduced and recovery is slower.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Fingers that turn pale and then tingle or ache in cool conditions or after recent vibration exposure
  • Numbness that makes using your hands and fingers to pick up small items, turn controls, or press buttons feel unreliable
  • Holding that feels less steady unless you squeeze firmly, which tires the hands sooner
  • Hard edges and narrow handles feeling sharper than expected, with lingering sting after busy periods

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will ask about vibration exposure over time—what you used, for how long, and how often—and about cold‑triggered colour changes, numbness, and control during hand use. They will examine circulation to the fingers and check light touch and two‑point discrimination (ability to feel two separate touches). They may also look for tendon soreness related to strong, single‑position holding. Tests of circulation and sensation may be used to grade severity and guide changes to exposure.

Things to watch out for

  • Frequent colour‑change episodes or numbness that lasts into warm conditions
  • New clumsiness with small items or repeated dropping
  • Pain or swelling along tendon lines from sustained, strong grips
  • Symptoms that continue to worsen despite lighter exposure and steady warmth

Why it matters to act

If colour‑change episodes and numbness continue unchecked, day‑to‑day control declines and some changes can persist. Holding more firmly to compensate increases fatigue and can irritate tendons, making regular hand use—holding, turning, pressing, handling small items—more tiring and less reliable. Steps that keep hands warm and make pressing feel softer help protect comfort and control.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

In cool conditions or during a Raynaud’s episode, colour change and numbness are easier to trigger. With less feeling at the fingertip pads, many people grip more strongly and keep the hand in one position to avoid slips. That firmer, longer hold presses the same areas and tingling builds faster. In the other direction, HAVS‑related reduced feel encourages strong, fixed holds to feel secure, which lowers finger comfort and can bring on Raynaud’s episodes more often and for longer. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel at the finger pads and palm help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because reduced feeling and colour change push you to use a strong grip, the glove helps you keep warmth steadier and hold with less effort. A gentle insulating layer helps keep temperature even from wrist to fingertips, so episodes are less easily set off and sensation returns more predictably. With warmth steadier, it is easier to judge how firmly you need to hold. The inner fabric feels soft across the finger pads and palm so hard edges and narrow handles feel less harsh, and light, even contact around the fingers makes it easier to notice when you are gripping too hard. The knit is thin and flexible so you can adjust your hold during use, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the hand stay drier so you do not need extra grip to keep control. In cool weather outdoors, you can position these under a roomy outer glove to keep warmth steady without creating tight lines that press on the skin.

Fit notes (no constriction; fingertip comfort)

Comfort depends on avoiding any tightness and keeping seams off pressure areas. Within a few minutes the cuff should leave no marks or indentations. Position the glove so seams do not sit over finger pads or along high‑pressure lines in the palm; adjust until those spots feel smooth. Ensure room at the fingertip ends so nothing feels compressed. If blanching, colour change, or tingling increases while wearing the gloves, remove them, warm your hands, and refit more loosely or choose a larger size. Keep a dry pair available for rewarming.

What you’ll feel + our promise

In cool conditions you will notice warmer fingers, fewer cold‑triggered flares, and steadier hand use without needing a very tight grip. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth plus a softer feel on hard edges helps you hold with less effort. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Peripheral Neuropathy (hands)

What peripheral neuropathy is and what it affects

Peripheral neuropathy means the nerves that carry sensation and movement signals are not working as they should. In the hands this can show as reduced feeling, tingling, burning, or a mix of these. Some light touches feel sharper than they should, while other touches are hard to feel. With less reliable feeling, using your hands and fingers to grip, turn, carry, press, and handle small items can feel uncertain. People often hold more firmly to feel secure or miss early signs that a surface is rubbing, which raises the risk of skin irritation.

Why symptoms happen

Damaged nerves send weak, delayed, or mixed signals. When light touch is dulled, it is harder to tell how firmly you are holding, so you may use a stronger grip and keep your hand in one position longer to feel secure. That presses the same spots—finger pads, the skin between thumb and index (thumb web), and bony knuckles—more often and for longer. When touch is amplified, even brief contacts sting. Reduced sense of finger position can make small adjustments clumsy, so using your hands and fingers to press on hard edges and narrow handles either feels harsher than expected or rubs longer than you intended.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Diabetes increases risk because high glucose can damage peripheral nerves.
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency and some nutritional problems increase risk because nerves need these nutrients to function.
  • Some illnesses and treatments increase risk because they can injure nerves.
  • Alcohol use can increase risk because long‑term exposure impairs nerve health.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Reduced feeling in parts of the fingers and palm
  • Tingling or burning that makes light hand use feel awkward
  • A tendency to grip more firmly to feel secure, then early hand fatigue
  • Red marks that last after pressing or holding, especially over bony knuckles or where a hard edge pressed
  • Small cuts or irritation that you did not feel happen at the time

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will ask about numbness, tingling, burning, and difficulty with small items, then test light touch, pinprick, and vibration in different parts of the hand. They will check strength and reflexes, and look for patterns that suggest a general nerve issue rather than a single nerve being pressed. Blood tests and nerve signal tests can help confirm the cause and guide care.

Things to watch out for

  • New wounds, blisters, or cracks you did not feel happen
  • Numbness or burning that spreads or disturbs sleep
  • Colour change that persists, or any sign of infection (increasing redness, warmth, discharge)
  • Sudden weakness or clumsiness that is new for you

Why it matters to act

Without protection and careful technique, unnoticed rubbing or pressing can lead to skin breakdown, infection risk, and growing reluctance to use your hands and fingers for accurate work. Early steps that make pressing feel softer, keep hands warm in cool conditions, and help you hold with less effort improve day‑to‑day control and protect the skin.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

In cool conditions or during a Raynaud’s episode, nerve performance drops further and it is harder to feel what your fingers are doing. Many people then use a stronger grip and keep their hand in one position to feel secure. That presses the finger pads, thumb web, and bony knuckles more often and for longer. In the other direction, neuropathy can lead to firm, single‑position holding, which lowers finger comfort and can bring on episodes more easily and make them last longer. Numbness can also hide early signs of rubbing, so marks can appear as you warm. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel on pressure‑prone areas help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because reduced feeling makes it hard to judge how firmly you are holding, the glove protects the skin and provides a steadier feel along the fingers and palm. The inner fabric spreads pressing so the same spot on the finger pads, thumb web, or knuckles is not pressed as hard on hard edges and narrow handles. Light, even contact makes it easier to tell how firmly you need to hold, so you can avoid squeezing more than necessary. A gentle insulating layer can help your hands feel more responsive in cool air, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface dry so items feel secure without extra grip strength. Copper‑infused fibres help the glove feel fresher during longer wear (not a medical treatment).

Fit notes (short initial wear and skin checks)

Comfort depends on checking skin early and keeping seams off pressure points. Start with short sessions. Take the gloves off and check for any marks or irritation over pressure points (finger pads, thumb web, bony knuckles). Choose a size that feels close on the skin without squeezing; you should be able to slide a fingertip under the cuff, feel warmth within a few minutes, and see no lasting marks after brief wear. Position the glove so seams do not sit on areas that press during holding. If you see irritation, reposition so the sore area feels smooth or choose a roomier size.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Holding feels more deliberate with less squeeze, and hard edges and narrow handles feel softer on the skin—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you hold with less effort while protecting the skin. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Fibromyalgia (hands)

What fibromyalgia is and what it affects

Fibromyalgia is a pain‑processing condition where the nervous system amplifies signals. In the hands and wrists, everyday touch and light effort can feel sharper than expected, and fatigue builds quickly. Using your hands and fingers to grip, turn, press, carry, and handle small items can feel uncomfortable even when you are not using much strength. Stiffness after a break is common, and on busy days a light task can leave your hands aching more than you would expect.

Why symptoms happen

Changes in how the nervous system handles signals can make normal touch feel painful and routine hand use feel draining. When a light touch or brief press is read as stronger than it is, hard edges and narrow handles feel harsh. Muscles around sore areas tighten to protect, which raises pressing at the same points and increases tiredness. After a break, the first few movements are often more sensitive before they ease.

How common and who’s at risk

Fibromyalgia is relatively common. Risk rises when:

  • You are a woman, because fibromyalgia is diagnosed more often in women.
  • You have poor sleep or mood problems, because both are linked with higher pain sensitivity.
  • Symptoms flare after busy days, because a higher number of light presses and touches can feel stronger than they should.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • After a break, the first few actions feel stiff or sore, then ease a little as you continue
  • Low‑effort hand use—opening small containers, turning small items, pressing controls—brings on ache sooner than it should
  • Hard edges and narrow handles feel “sharper” than their shape suggests, with lingering soreness after busier periods
  • Keeping one way of holding for long makes discomfort grow; changing how you hold an item gives brief relief

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician considers the broader pattern—widespread pain and fatigue—then looks at how your hands respond to light touch and repeated, low‑effort hand use. They will rule out joint, tendon, or nerve problems that would change treatment. The overall history matters more than any single test.

Things to watch out for

  • Sudden, focal joint swelling or warmth (not typical of fibromyalgia)
  • Tingling or numb areas that persist or spread
  • Sudden loss of strength or control in the hand
  • Sleep or mood changes that are worsening alongside hand symptoms

Why it matters to act

If light hand use keeps feeling harsh, it is easy to avoid using your hands and fingers and lose confidence. That drop in use feeds more stiffness and fatigue, so even lighter hand use can ache. Making pressing feel softer and using a lighter hold helps you keep going without a flare.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When your fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, finger comfort drops and it is harder to judge how firmly you are holding. Many people then use a stronger grip and keep the same way of holding to feel secure. That stronger, single‑position holding makes brief touches and light presses feel sharper and tenderness lasts longer as you warm. In the other direction, fibromyalgia‑related sensitivity encourages guarded, firm holding on edges and handles, which lowers finger comfort and can make Raynaud’s episodes more likely and slower to resolve. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel on the fingers and palm help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because light presses feel sharper than they should, the glove helps soften those inputs and supports holding with less effort. The inner fabric reduces sharpness when you touch, press, or hold, so hard edges and narrow handles feel less harsh on the skin. Light, even contact along the fingers and palm makes it easier to tell how firmly you are holding, so you do not need a very tight grip to stay in control. When you begin to use your hands and fingers again after a break, the thin and flexible knit moves with you so the first few movements feel easier. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps you begin again in cool air without gripping as hard, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help keep the surface dry so items feel secure. Copper‑infused fibres help the gloves feel fresher during longer wear (not a medical treatment).

Fit notes (comfort first; seam placement)

Comfort depends on a close fit without any squeezing and seams kept off tender areas. Choose the most comfortable close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes there should be no marks or indentations at the cuff. Position the glove so seams do not sit over known tender areas—knuckle edges, fingertip pads, or the skin between thumb and index. Make sure fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge. On sensitive days, wear them for shorter periods first and increase as your hands settle.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Light hand use feels less sharp, you do not have to hold as firmly to stay in control, and you can keep going longer before your hands tire—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps reduce stinging as you begin again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) — hands

What CRPS is and what it affects

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) can follow an injury, a procedure, or a period without movement. In the hand it brings pain that feels out of proportion to touch or movement, changes in colour or temperature, swelling, and sometimes changes in sweating or skin. Even light touch or gentle motion can feel sharply painful (allodynia: pain from light touch), and muscles can feel weak or uncoordinated when you use your hands and fingers to hold, turn, press, or handle small items. Symptoms can fluctuate through the day.

Why symptoms happen

After the initial trigger, pain‑related pathways can become over‑responsive, so normal touch and temperature feel amplified. Local circulation and sweating can change, which makes the hand feel colder or hotter and alters how skin and tissues respond when you touch, hold, or press. Swelling increases tightness and adds pressure inside the hand. Together, these changes make light touches, using your hands and fingers to press on a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), and the first few movements after a break feel sharply uncomfortable and slow to settle.

How common and who’s at risk

CRPS is uncommon. Risk rises when:

  • A fracture, sprain, surgery, or a period without movement has occurred, because local pain and temperature responses can become over‑responsive.
  • Early hand use stays guarded with a firm, single‑position hold, because this keeps sensitive areas under pressure and movement limited.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Light touches that would normally feel neutral now sting or burn, especially over specific trigger spots
  • After a break, the first few attempts to hold, turn, or press with your hand are hesitant and painful, then may ease slightly with gentle repetition
  • Swelling and colour/temperature differences can fluctuate; busier periods leave the hand sensitive for longer
  • Avoiding hand use to reduce pain leads to more stiffness and makes the next use feel harder

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician looks for a combination of features considered together: pain out of proportion to light touch or movement, temperature or colour differences, swelling, sweating or skin changes, and reduced motion or strength. They compare both hands, check sensation and range, and rule out other causes such as infection, a trapped nerve, or vascular problems. CRPS is a clinical diagnosis based on this pattern.

Things to watch out for

  • Rapidly increasing swelling, redness, or heat, or any sign of infection
  • Worsening colour/temperature mismatch between hands that does not ease with gentle warming
  • A sharp drop in movement or strength over a few days
  • New spreading pain beyond the original area
  • If a new skin change appears, ask your clinician

Why it matters to act

If pain and guarding keep you from using your hand, stiffness increases, sensitivity can become more entrenched, and confidence drops. Steps that make touch feel softer, keep temperature steadier, and support short, repeated hand use help you reintroduce movement without provoking strong pain, while medical care addresses the underlying condition.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When your fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, reduced feeling makes it harder to tell what your fingers are doing. Many people then use a firmer grip and keep the hand in one position to feel secure. That firmer, single‑position hold means the first light touches after a break sting more when you warm, and sensitive areas—fingertip pads, finger sides, the skin between thumb and index, or tender knuckle edges—are pressed harder. In the other direction, CRPS‑related sensitivity encourages guarded, firm holding, which lowers finger comfort and can make episodes more frequent and slower to resolve. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel along the fingers and palm help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because sensitive skin needs very gentle touch and free movement, the glove provides a soft feel along the fingers and palm and lets you move without any joint being held straight. The inner fabric makes light touches, placing your hand, and brief presses feel less sharp on sensitive areas. When you begin to use your hands and fingers again after a break, the thin and flexible knit moves with you so you can bend and turn freely. Begin with very short wear during easy hand use and increase time only as comfort allows. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps the first few movements after a break feel easier in cool air, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the skin stay dry so you are less likely to tense or hold more firmly than needed.

Fit notes (gentle fit; avoid trigger spots)

Comfort depends on a gentle fit and seams kept off trigger spots. Choose the gentlest close fit that does not feel tight; after a few minutes, the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position the glove so seams do not cross your trigger spots—common areas include fingertip pads, the skin between thumb and index, and tender knuckle edges—so those points feel smooth. Begin with brief wear (for example, a few minutes), then take the gloves off and check how your skin feels; increase time only if everything settles well.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Light touches are easier to manage, the first few movements after a break feel less sharp, and everyday hand use feels calmer—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth plus a softer feel along the fingers and palm helps brief use feel more tolerable. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Hypermobility (hands and wrists — EDS/HSD)

What hypermobility is and what it affects

Hypermobility means joints can move beyond the usual range because supporting tissues (ligaments, capsule, and connective tissue) are more elastic. In the hands and wrists, certain positions can feel less stable and effort can build during longer holds. People often notice aching after carrying, using their hands and fingers to press on handles, or bearing weight through the hands, and small, accurate hand use can feel less steady when the wrist bends far back or the thumb folds across the palm.

Why symptoms happen

When ligaments are lax, joints rely more on muscle control and skin sensation to stay in a comfortable angle. During gripping and carrying, the wrist can bend far back and the thumb can fold across the palm, where control is poorer and tissues feel strained. Holding one way for long tires the supporting muscles, so the hand settles near the end of its bend. Narrow surfaces—such as a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) or a small handle—press the same joint edges more, which brings on ache and occasional slips.

How common and who’s at risk

Hypermobility is common and exists on a spectrum. Risk rises when:

  • There is a family history of flexible joints, because ligament laxity is often inherited.
  • You meet criteria for a hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) or hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos (hEDS), because extra range makes end‑position holding more common.
  • You spend long periods holding items in one position, because joints settle toward the end of their bend and edges are pressed more often.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Fatigue and ache during longer gripping and carrying, easing when you change how you hold an item
  • A tendency for the wrist to bend far back or the thumb to fold toward the palm when you tire, making control less steady
  • Brief “giving‑way” moments with heavier or awkward items
  • Soreness after bearing weight through the hands (for example, leaning on the heel of the hand), especially if the wrist bends far back

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will review your history of flexible joints, check range at the fingers, thumb, and wrists, and note comfort and control near the ends of movement. They will look for associated features (for example, stretchy skin or easy bruising in some people) and rule out inflammatory conditions or focal tendon problems that need a different approach.

Things to watch out for

  • Repeated “giving‑way” or suspected partial slips at the wrist or thumb
  • Pain that lingers at rest after routine hand use
  • New swelling, warmth, or catching that suggests a tendon or joint injury
  • Increasing difficulty keeping a comfortable way of holding despite lighter loads

Why it matters to act

If joints settle at the ends of their bend during daily hand use, strain builds at joint edges and along tendon paths. That can feed recurring soreness, reduce steadiness, and make slips more likely. Small changes that help you notice when a joint is bending too far and that make pressing feel softer protect comfort and help you use your hands and fingers with more control.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When your fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, it is harder to feel what your fingers and wrist are doing. Many people then use a stronger grip and keep the wrist and thumb in one position to feel secure. That pattern nudges the wrist to bend far back and the thumb to fold across the palm sooner, which presses joint edges and makes careful hand use feel less steady. In the other direction, hypermobility can lead to guarded, firm holding in awkward angles, which lowers finger comfort and can bring on Raynaud’s episodes more easily and prolong them. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel at likely pressure areas help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because wrist and thumb position can drift during holding, the glove provides steady, light contact around the fingers and wrist so it is easier to notice when a joint is bending too far or when you are gripping too hard. You can then bring the wrist and thumb toward a more comfortable angle while you hold and turn. A smoother feel across the palm reduces pressing at edges, and the thin and flexible knit lets you adjust freely without pushing to the ends of your bend. When you start using your hands and fingers again after a break, even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps the first few movements feel easier in cool air, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface dry so you do not need extra grip strength to stay in control.

Fit notes (position awareness without squeeze)

Comfort depends on a close fit with no tight spots and a cuff that does not nudge the wrist back. Choose a fit that feels close on the skin; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position the cuff so it lies smoothly across the front of the wrist (palm side). Make sure the space between thumb and index feels unpinched; if it feels crowded, choose the roomier size. Position the glove so seams do not sit over bony wrist points or along tender tendon paths.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Using your hands and fingers to hold and turn feels steadier with less effort, slips are less likely as you tire, and it is easier to avoid bending the wrist far back or folding the thumb across the palm—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you feel what your fingers are doing and hold with less effort. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Oedema (hand and finger swelling)

What hand oedema is and what it affects

Oedema is a build‑up of fluid in the soft tissues of the hand and fingers. It can follow an injury or surgery, flare with inflammatory conditions, or relate to wider health issues. Swelling makes the hand feel full, movement tighter, and light touch less clear. When this is present, using your hands and fingers to grip, turn, carry, press, and handle small items can feel clumsy or tiring because the tissues resist bending and pressing on edges and handles feels stronger than usual.

Why symptoms happen

Extra fluid increases pressure inside the hand, so the skin and the layers under it stretch. That stretch limits how easily the fingers bend and straighten and makes pressing on small areas feel harsher. Because swollen tissues have less room to glide, brief hard presses on narrow surfaces—such as a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) or a small handle—are felt more. If the hand stays down by your side for a long time, fluid tends to pool, which adds to stiffness and reduces control when you start using your hands and fingers again.

How common and who’s at risk

Hand swelling is common. Risk rises when:

  • You have had a recent hand or wrist injury or surgery, because fluid collects as tissues recover.
  • Inflammatory conditions flare, because fluid and warmth increase in the area.
  • You are pregnant or have reduced lymph flow or circulation issues, because fluid management changes.
  • You spend long periods with your hand hanging down or holding items in one position, because fluid pools and tissues stiffen.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Puffiness that increases with activity or time spent with the hand hanging down and improves with rest
  • Skin that feels tight, with stiffness when you start using your hands and fingers after a break
  • A feeling that rings, straps, or cuffs are tighter than usual
  • Using your hands and fingers to grip, turn, and press feels clumsy, with a stronger bite from edges and handles
  • Marks on the skin where something narrow pressed for too long

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will ask when swelling appears, what eases it, and whether it leaves a temporary mark with gentle pressure (pitting). They compare both hands to see which areas are fuller and whether there is warmth, redness, or skin irritation. Because swelling has many causes, they will look for clues that separate simple fluid build‑up from joint inflammation, tendon problems, or infection, and consider any recent injury or surgery. Tests are used when the cause is unclear or another problem is suspected.

Things to watch out for

  • Sudden one‑sided swelling with marked redness, heat, or fever
  • Severe tightness, new numbness, or colour change in any finger
  • Swelling that does not improve overnight or worsens over several days
  • Skin that cracks, blisters, or shows signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, discharge)

Why it matters to act

If swelling is not managed, stiffness can increase, the skin can become sore from pressing, and accuracy with small, careful hand use can drop. Protecting the skin from narrow pressing and keeping movement easy helps the hand feel more usable while the cause is addressed.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When your fingers are cold or during a Raynaud’s episode, fluid moves more slowly and tissues feel stiffer. Many people then hold more firmly to feel secure, which presses swollen areas—fingertip pads, the skin between thumb and index (thumb web), and the backs of fuller knuckles—more often. In the other direction, swelling encourages a guarded, firm hold that lowers finger comfort and can bring on Raynaud’s episodes more easily and keep them going longer. Numbness can also hide early signs that pressing is too strong, so tenderness is more noticeable as you warm. These things are why gentle warmth (if your clinician agrees) and a softer feel on swollen areas help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because swollen areas are sensitive to pressing on small, hard surfaces, the glove spreads pressing across a wider area without squeezing. The inner fabric provides a softer feel along the fingers and palm so the same spot is not pressed as hard on edges and handles. Seams are positioned to avoid rubbing on swollen areas, and the thin and flexible knit lets you bend and straighten freely instead of keeping one hand position. If your clinician agrees, a gentle insulating layer can help tissues feel less stiff; breathable, quick‑dry fibres help keep the skin dry so the surface feels comfortable. These gloves are not made to compress—no squeezing.

Fit notes (size for swollen times; seam placement and skin checks)

Comfort depends on choosing a size for when your hand is most swollen and keeping seams off sensitive areas. Choose your size based on the time of day when your hand is most swollen so there is never tightness; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Do not place the cuff directly over the fullest area—position it a little higher or lower on the forearm. Position the glove so seams do not cross swollen areas such as the fingertip pads, the thumb web, or the backs of fuller knuckles; adjust until those areas feel smooth. Take the gloves off at intervals to check the skin and refit if swelling changes.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Using your hands and fingers to press on a hard edge and hold handles feels softer, bending and straightening feel easier, and the skin feels calmer as swelling shifts through the day. If Raynaud’s also affects you, gentle warmth (if advised) and a softer feel help your hand feel more comfortable in cool air. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Dupuytren’s (palmar nodules and cords)

What Dupuytren’s is and what it affects

Dupuytren’s is a thickening of the palmar fascia (supporting layer under the skin). It often starts as small, tender nodules and can form a Dupuytren’s cord (a tightened band under the skin) that gradually pulls a finger toward the palm—most often the ring and little fingers. Because the palm bears pressing on edges and handles, using your hands and fingers to grip, carry, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), turn, and handle small items can feel sharper where tissue has thickened.

Why symptoms happen

Nodules and cords sit in the load‑bearing layer of the palm, so narrow pressing and rubbing focus force on a small area and sting. As a cord shortens, it tethers the skin and reduces glide, so pressing on the palm or trying to place the hand flat increases tension along the cord. Repeated pressing on the same spot keeps tissue irritated and makes everyday holds feel sharper.

How common and who’s at risk

Dupuytren’s is relatively common from mid‑life onwards. Risk rises when:

  • You are a man or have a family history, because palmar fascia is more prone to thicken.
  • You have diabetes, because fascia can thicken more easily.
  • You have long experience using tools that load the palm, because pressing repeats along the same lines.
  • You smoke or used to, because local tissue health is affected.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • A firm nodule or tender line in the palm, often at the base of the ring or little finger
  • A sharp sting when using your hands and fingers to press the palm on a hard edge or hold a narrow handle
  • Placing the hand flat feels harder; later, a visible cord and limited finger straightening change how you hold
  • Tender skin over a nodule after busy periods

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician feels for nodules and for a cord running toward the finger, then checks how straight each finger can be set. They may use the tabletop test (placing the hand flat on a surface) to see whether the palm and fingers lie flat. It is important to tell Dupuytren’s from trigger finger (catching at the finger base) and from joint or tendon problems that limit straightening for other reasons. Imaging is rarely needed.

Things to watch out for

  • A finger that no longer reaches the table during the tabletop test
  • Rapid change in finger straightening over weeks
  • Skin soreness over a nodule that does not settle, or skin breaks over a tight fold
  • Hand use that becomes difficult because a finger will not straighten enough to wash, wear gloves, or hold comfortably

Why it matters to act

If pressing keeps provoking a tender nodule or a tightening cord, tissue can thicken further and finger straightening can decline. Fixed bending interferes with washing, glove use, and holding items that need an open hand. Reducing repeated pressing on nodules and making pressing feel softer helps calm irritation and protects hand use while you and your clinician decide if any procedure is needed.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

As temperature drops, it is harder to feel what your fingers are doing, so many people hold more firmly and keep one hand position to feel secure. That stronger, single‑position hold presses nodules and the cord line more often and for longer. Using your hands and fingers to press a hard edge while your hand feels numb loads those sensitive spots, so soreness builds quickly. In the other direction, tenderness over a nodule and tension along the cord encourage guarded, firm holding, which lowers finger comfort and can bring on Raynaud’s episodes more easily and keep them going longer. These things are why steadier warmth and a softer feel across the palm help everyday hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because nodules and the cord are sensitive to narrow pressing and rubbing, the glove is designed to off‑load those areas and keep movement easy. The inner fabric spreads pressing across the palm so edges and handles do not push into the same small spot. Over the cord line, the softer surface reduces rubbing, and the thin, flexible knit lets the fingers rest in a natural curve rather than being pushed flatter than they want to be. When you start using your hands and fingers again after a break, the palm feels softer against hard edges, so placing and holding feel less sharp. Even warmth from wrist to fingertips helps the first few movements feel easier in cool air, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres let extra heat and moisture leave gradually so the palm stays comfortable.

Fit notes (palm comfort and cord protection)

Comfort depends on keeping seams off nodules and away from the cord line. Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes there should be no marks or indentations at the cuff. Position the glove so no seam sits on a tender nodule or along the line of the cord—place seams to either side so those areas feel smooth. When you try the tabletop test (placing the hand flat on a surface), the glove should not pull any finger straighter than it rests naturally. Smooth any fold across the main palm lines so nothing feels like a narrow ridge under your hand.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Pressing the palm feels softer over tender nodules, and you can hold with a natural finger curve without pulling on the cord—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps reduce tenderness as you begin again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (thumb‑side wrist)

What De Quervain’s is and what it affects

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is irritation of two thumb tendons (abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis) and their sheath where they pass over the thumb‑side of the wrist (near the radial styloid). People notice aching or sharp pain at this thumb‑side wrist area when lifting, turning, wringing, or when the thumb moves away from the palm. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, carry, or press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) can sting where the tendons run.

Why symptoms happen

The irritated sheath narrows the space where the tendons glide. Movements that pull the thumb away from the palm or bend the wrist toward the little finger increase tendon friction. Narrow handles and hard edges focus pressing on the sore spot at the thumb‑side wrist, so ache builds sooner. After a break, the first few thumb moves feel tight until glide improves.

How common and who’s at risk

  • New or increased lifting (for example, caring for a baby) raises risk because repeated thumb‑out and wrist‑bend pulls at the sheath.
  • Frequent thumb use on small items (texting, small tools) raises risk because the same tendon path is loaded often.
  • Repeated wringing, twisting, or gripping with the wrist bent toward the little finger raises risk because tendon friction increases.
  • Inflammatory conditions raise risk because tendon sheaths are more reactive.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Thumb‑side wrist tenderness you can point to (near the radial styloid)
  • Pain on lifting with the thumb spread, wringing, or turning jars
  • Stiffness after a break that eases slightly as you continue
  • A sharp bite when the wrist edge presses on a hard surface

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician presses over the thumb‑side wrist to reproduce tenderness and may guide you through a gentle thumb‑in‑fist stretch that provokes local pain if this condition is present. They will distinguish it from thumb‑base osteoarthritis (different location and triggers) and from general wrist tendon irritation. Imaging is rarely needed unless the picture is unclear.

Things to watch out for

  • Swelling that increases and stays warm or red
  • Pain that spreads beyond the thumb‑side wrist into the forearm
  • Weakness when lifting lighter items
  • Night pain that persists despite lighter use

Why it matters to act

If the same movement and pressing keep irritating the sheath, glide remains tight and pain becomes easier to provoke. Everyday lifting and turning then need more effort. Softer contact at the sore area and lighter, more neutral wrist positions help you keep going while symptoms settle.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

When your fingers are cold, tendons feel stiffer and it is harder to judge wrist and thumb position. Many people then grip harder and keep the wrist bent toward the little finger to feel secure. That pulls on the irritated sheath and soreness rises faster. If episodes of colour change also occur, reduced feel pushes you to hold more firmly again. Keeping warmth steadier and softening contact at the thumb‑side wrist helps control discomfort in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because the soreness centres on the thumb‑side wrist, the glove softens contact there and supports a lighter hold with free thumb motion. The inner fabric spreads pressure so a hard edge or narrow handle does not bite into the sore spot. Light, even contact around the fingers and palm makes it easier to notice when the wrist is drifting toward the little finger or when grip is stronger than needed, so you can adjust without losing control. When you start using your hands and fingers again after a break, gentle, even warmth helps the first thumb movements feel easier; breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the surface feel secure without extra squeeze.

Fit notes (thumb‑side wrist comfort; space at thumb web)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should leave no marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the tender spot at the thumb‑side wrist (near the radial styloid). Keep the cuff smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side) so it does not nudge the wrist into an awkward angle. Make sure the thumb web feels unpinched and the fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Turning, lifting, and edge contact feel gentler at the thumb‑side wrist, and you can hold with less effort—even in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps reduce first‑movement stiffness. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Guyon’s Canal Syndrome (ulnar tunnel at the wrist)

What Guyon’s canal syndrome is and what it affects

Guyon’s canal syndrome happens when the ulnar nerve is compressed where it crosses the wrist on the little‑finger side (in Guyon’s canal). People notice tingling or numbness in the little finger and part of the ring finger, aching at the heel of the hand on that side, and reduced control with small‑finger tasks. Leaning on the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand or gripping narrow bars can bring symptoms on. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, steer, support your weight, or press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) can feel less steady when symptoms are active.

Why symptoms happen

Direct pressure at the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand narrows the space around the ulnar nerve. Leaning on a hard edge or gripping a narrow bar focuses force at this point, so tingling and numbness appear sooner. With reduced feel in the little finger, people often grip more strongly and keep one hand position to feel secure, which maintains pressure at the canal.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Long periods leaning on the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand (for example, on bars, tools, or edges) raise risk because the nerve is pressed directly.
  • Repeated cycling or similar bar use raises risk because the same area is loaded for long spells.
  • Cysts or swelling near the canal raise risk because the space for the nerve is reduced.
  • Previous wrist injury on that side can increase risk because local tissues are less tolerant of pressure.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Tingling or numbness in the little finger and part of the ring finger during or after edge leaning or bar gripping
  • Aching at the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand with steering or weight‑bearing
  • Reduced small‑finger control when handling small items
  • Symptoms that ease when you stop leaning on that area

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician presses over the canal on the little‑finger side of the wrist to see if tingling is provoked and checks sensation in the ring and little fingers. They look for weakness of small‑finger muscles and compare findings with carpal tunnel syndrome and with ulnar nerve issues at the elbow. Tests may be used to confirm the site if the picture is unclear.

Things to watch out for

  • Persistent numbness or weakness in the little finger
  • Visible thinning between the knuckles on the little‑finger side
  • Symptoms that continue even without leaning on the area
  • Severe pain, swelling, or a new lump at the canal

Why it matters to act

If pressure at the canal keeps recurring, sensation and small‑finger control can worsen and recovery slows. Off‑loading the heel of the hand and using lighter, varied holds protect the nerve while you plan any further care.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how each can worsen the other

As temperature drops, feeling at the fingertip pads falls and people often hold more firmly and keep one wrist position to feel secure. That stronger, single‑position hold presses the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand against edges and bars for longer, so tingling builds faster. If episodes of colour change occur, the drop in comfort pushes grip strength higher again. Keeping warmth steadier and softening contact at the canal area helps hand use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because direct pressure at the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand drives symptoms, the glove softens contact there and supports lighter, varied holds. The inner fabric spreads pressing so hard edges and bars feel gentler on the canal area. Light, even contact along the fingers and palm makes it easier to notice when you are leaning on that spot, so you can adjust your hold without losing control. Gentle, even warmth helps the hand feel more responsive in cool air, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the surface feel secure without extra squeeze.

Fit notes (off‑load the ulnar heel; no tight cuff)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should leave no marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand. Keep the cuff smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side). Ensure fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge and the thumb web feels unpinched so you do not grip harder than needed.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Edges and surfaces feel gentler at the little‑finger‑side heel, tingling is easier to settle, and you can hold and turn with less squeeze—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you hold with less effort while you protect the canal area. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Hand Eczema/Dermatitis (palms, finger webs, nailfolds)

What hand eczema/dermatitis is and what it affects

Hand eczema (dermatitis) is inflammation of the skin from a weakened barrier and irritants or allergens. It often involves the palms, finger webs, knuckle creases, and nailfolds (skin at the base of the nail). People notice itch, sting, burning, dry or scaly areas, and sometimes cracks that bleed. When active, using your hands and fingers to grip, turn, carry, or press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) can feel sharply uncomfortable where the skin is sore.

Why symptoms happen

When the skin barrier is disrupted, moisture escapes and irritants enter more easily. Nerve endings sit closer to the surface, so light rubbing or narrow pressing stings. Wet‑to‑dry cycles (frequent washing and fast evaporation) leave the skin tighter and more reactive, and sweat trapped against the skin can also sting. Narrow handles, rough textures, and hard edges focus friction and pressure on small sore areas, so discomfort builds quickly.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Frequent wet work and detergents increase risk because repeated washing and drying disrupt the barrier.
  • Atopic history (eczema, hay fever, asthma) increases risk because the skin barrier is more fragile.
  • Contact allergens (for example, metals, fragrances, rubbers) increase risk because small exposures keep the skin inflamed.
  • Cold, dry weather increases risk because low humidity accelerates moisture loss.
  • Long, sweaty glove wear increases risk because occlusion softens skin and makes friction damage easier.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Itch or sting that flares with washing, then sharper discomfort on first handling
  • Cracks at finger webs or over knuckle creases that reopen with gripping
  • Burning when you press small items or a hard edge on sore skin
  • Flare‑ups after long wet tasks or after wearing non‑breathable gloves
  • Soreness around nailfolds; tapping or pressing the fingertip end feels sharp

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician will review your hand function, washing habits, and exposures, then examine which areas are involved (palms, webs, backs, nailfolds). They may consider patch testing if an allergy is suspected and will distinguish dermatitis from psoriasis, fungal infection, or scabies, which need different care.

Things to watch out for

  • Weeping, yellow crusts, or spreading redness (possible infection)
  • Painful fissures that do not improve with care
  • Sudden clusters of tiny painful blisters with fever or feeling unwell
  • Persistent severe itch or night pain that limits sleep

Why it matters to act

If sore skin keeps being rubbed and pressed on narrow areas, cracks deepen, infection risk rises, and confidence using your hands and fingers drops. Reducing friction and sharp pressure while keeping the skin surface comfortably dry helps you get through daily handling while treatment and skincare calm the flare.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

In cool, dry conditions the skin tightens and small cracks open more easily. Feeling at the fingertip pads can dip, so many people grip harder and keep one way of holding to feel secure, which adds rubbing on sore spots. If episodes of colour change also occur, first touches as you warm sting more. Keeping warmth steady and surfaces soft against the skin helps everyday use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because barrier‑irritated skin reacts to friction and narrow pressing, the glove gives a smooth, low‑friction inner fabric and a gentle, even feel along the palm, finger webs, and fingertip pads. Light, even contact makes edges and small handles feel less sharp so you do not need to squeeze as hard to stay in control. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres move sweat away to limit sting from damp skin and reduce evaporative chill after washing. The thin, flexible knit lets you bend and straighten freely without dragging across tender creases. You can wear the gloves after emollient has fully absorbed; rotate dry pairs through the day. Do not use over weeping, actively infected skin.

Fit notes (protect sore areas; avoid shear)

Choose a comfortable close fit that is never tight; after a few minutes the cuff should leave no marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross finger webs, knuckle creases, or tender nailfolds. Roll the gloves on and off to avoid shear rather than pulling at one spot. Start with short wear, check the skin, then increase time if everything settles. Change to a dry pair if the fabric becomes damp.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Rubbing and edge contact feel gentler, fingertip taps and small presses sting less, and holding and turning feel more manageable while the skin calms—especially in cool, dry air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth reduces stinging on rewarming. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Scar Hypersensitivity (after hand surgery or injury)

What scar hypersensitivity is and what it affects

After a cut, surgery, or a burn, the healing area can become overly sensitive. Nerves in and around the scar sit closer to the surface and the skin can catch on fabrics or edges. Light touch that would normally feel neutral can sting or burn, and a brief press on a small area can feel sharply uncomfortable. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), and handle small items can be difficult until the area settles.

Why symptoms happen

During healing, nerve endings grow into the scar and the tissue may tether to layers beneath. That makes light dragging, small shifts in the skin, and narrow pressing feel stronger than they should. If you avoid touch completely, the area can stay over‑responsive; if you overdo contact, it flares. The goal is predictable, gentle touch that you can gradually increase as comfort allows.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Any recent hand surgery, laceration repair, or burn increases risk because the local nerve supply is reorganising.
  • Areas over bony points or along major crease lines are more prone because everyday use rubs these spots.
  • People with a tendency to raised or tight scars are more likely to notice dragging or sting with light contact.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Sharp or burning response to light brushing or fabric movement over the scar
  • A “pulling” sensation with bending or straightening if the scar tethers
  • A brief press on small handles or a hard edge causes a local spike of discomfort
  • After short, well‑tolerated contact, the area may settle for a while

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician inspects the scar, checks for tethering, notes colour and thickness, and gently tests light touch and pressure over and around the area. They distinguish normal early sensitivity from signs of infection, delayed healing, or a tender neuroma that needs a different plan.

Things to watch out for

  • Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or discharge
  • Skin breakdown, weeping, or a gap in the scar line
  • Numbness or a new electric‑shock pain pattern away from the scar
  • A sudden loss of bend or straighten compared with the week before

Why it matters to act

If every contact feels hard, you will guard the hand, movement will drop, and stiffness and avoidance grow. Gentle, predictable contact and softer surfaces help the skin accept touch again, so you can keep using your hands and fingers without provoking sharp spikes of pain.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

Cool air tightens skin and makes light touch feel sharper. Reduced feeling during an episode can also push you to hold more firmly or keep one hand position, which increases rubbing at the scar margins. Keeping warmth steady and making surfaces feel gentle helps first touches and brief presses feel more tolerable.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because the aim is gentle, predictable contact, the glove provides a smooth inner fabric over the scar so light brushing and brief presses feel less sharp. The thin, flexible knit moves with you, reducing drag across the scar when you bend or straighten. Light, even contact along the hand helps you hold and turn with less squeeze. Breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface comfortable so sweat does not sting. Start with short, easy tasks and increase time only if everything settles.

Fit notes (gentle fit; seams away from the scar line)

Choose the gentlest close fit that is never tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the scar or the tender border around it. Roll the glove on and off rather than pulling at one spot. Begin with brief wear, check the skin, then increase time as comfort allows. Do not use over unhealed or weeping areas.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Light contact feels more predictable, first touches sting less, and everyday holding and turning are easier while the area settles—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth reduces the jump in pain on rewarming. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Diabetic Cheiroarthropathy (limited hand mobility)

What diabetic cheiroarthropathy is and what it affects

Diabetic cheiroarthropathy (limited joint mobility) is a thickening and tightening of skin and soft tissues around the fingers and hand. People notice stiffness—especially with straightening the fingers—reduced reach, and a sharper bite from small surfaces. The “prayer sign” (difficulty placing the palms fully together) is common. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), fasten, and handle small items can feel awkward and tiring.

Why symptoms happen

Long‑standing high glucose can change collagen, so skin and joint capsules thicken and become less elastic. This reduces glide as you bend and straighten and concentrates pressing at joint borders and fingertip ends, so small handles and edges feel harsher. After a break, the first few movements feel tight until the tissues warm and glide a little more freely.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Longer duration of diabetes increases risk because tissue changes build over time.
  • Higher average glucose increases risk because collagen cross‑links form more readily.
  • Coexisting neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome can add to reduced feel or stiffness, making hand use harder.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Stiffness on first use after rest; straightening feels limited
  • A feeling that the skin on the fingers is tight, with reduced reach
  • A sharper bite from narrow handles or hard edges, especially at joint borders and fingertip ends
  • Difficulty placing the palms fully together (prayer sign)

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician checks finger bend and straightening, the prayer sign, skin thickness and texture, and looks for coexisting problems (neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome). They distinguish this condition from inflammatory arthritis or tendon disorders that need different treatment.

Things to watch out for

  • New wounds, blisters, or cracks you did not feel happen
  • Numbness or burning that disturbs sleep
  • Rapid change in range or hand shape
  • Signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, discharge)

Why it matters to act

If stiffness, tight skin, and narrow pressing keep making hand use uncomfortable, you will rely on stronger grips and single positions, which tire the hand and further reduce ease of movement. Softer contact and gentle warmth help the first few movements, allowing lighter, more varied holds for daily tasks.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

Cool air stiffens already tight tissues and reduces feeling at the fingertip pads. Many people then hold more firmly and keep one way of holding, which presses joint borders and fingertip ends more often. Steadier warmth and gentler contact at these points help first movements feel easier and holding feel more secure without extra squeeze.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because tight skin and joint borders make small surfaces feel sharp, the glove softens contact at the fingertips and joint lines and supports lighter holds. The inner fabric spreads pressing so narrow handles and edges feel gentler. The thin, flexible knit allows a natural finger curve so you are not pushed flatter than you want to be, and light, even contact along the fingers and palm makes it easier to judge how firmly you are holding. Gentle, even warmth helps the first few movements after a break; breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface dry so items feel secure without extra grip.

Fit notes (room over stiff joints; fingertip comfort; skin checks)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Leave space over joint borders and at the fingertip ends so nothing presses on the nail edge. Position seams so they do not cross tender joint lines. If you also have reduced feeling, start with shorter wear and check the skin for any marks; refit if needed. Allow a natural finger curve rather than forcing the fingers straighter than they rest.

What you’ll feel + our promise

First movements after a break of using your hands feel easier, edges and small handles feel less sharp, and you can hold and turn with less effort—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you hold with less squeeze as you begin again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Carpal Boss (bony bump at the back of the wrist)

What a carpal boss is and what it affects

A carpal boss is a firm bony bump at the back of the wrist where the base of the index or middle finger meets the wrist bones (second/third carpometacarpal area). People notice a lump that is tender with wrist extension, sharper pain when resting the back of the wrist on a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), and occasional snapping or rubbing from the extensor tendons that pass over the bump. Lifting, pushing up from a chair, or desk work with the wrist extended can ache.

Why symptoms happen

The local bony prominence concentrates pressure when the wrist is extended or when a hard edge presses directly on the bump. The thin soft tissues over it and the extensor tendons are irritated by repeated contact or rubbing. Holding the wrist far back (extension) under load tightens structures around the boss and discomfort builds faster.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Most cases occur in younger to mid‑life adults because repeated loading encourages bony overgrowth at this part of the joint.
  • Prior wrist sprain increases risk because tissue tolerance around the joint is reduced.
  • Repeated wrist extension under load (lifting, push‑ups, leaning on the back of the wrist) raises risk because the bump is pressed and rubbed more often.
  • Manual tasks with long periods resting the wrist edge on a surface increase risk because direct pressure is frequent.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • A firm bump at the back of the wrist that is tender to touch
  • Ache or sharpness when resting the wrist on a hard edge or wearing a tight strap that presses the bump
  • Pain with wrist extension or pushing through the hand (for example, rising from a chair)
  • A feeling of tendon “rubbing” or a brief snap over the bump after busy periods

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician feels the lump at the base of the index or middle metacarpal, checks for tenderness with wrist extension, and looks for tendon rubbing over the bump. They distinguish a bony boss from a ganglion cyst (soft, often transilluminates) and from general tendon irritation. Imaging is sometimes used if the picture is unclear.

Things to watch out for

  • Rapid increase in pain, warmth, or redness over the bump
  • New frequent snapping with weakness or catching of finger extension
  • Night pain that persists despite lighter use
  • A new lump elsewhere around the wrist that behaves differently

Why it matters to act

If direct pressure and extension‑loaded positions keep provoking the bump, tendon irritation grows and you avoid using the wrist near extension. That reduces confidence for everyday tasks and can shift strain elsewhere. Softer contact on the back of the wrist and lighter, more neutral positions help you keep using your hands and fingers comfortably.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

In cool conditions, the back of the wrist can feel stiffer and people often rest the wrist on an edge longer to feel secure. That keeps pressure on the bump and ache builds faster. Gentle, steady warmth and softer surfaces at contact points help blunt edge pressure and reduce first‑touch sting.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because direct pressure over the bump and extended wrist positions drive symptoms, the glove spreads contact across the back of the wrist and supports a lighter, more neutral hold. The inner fabric makes desk edges and narrow straps feel gentler so you do not press the same spot as hard. Light, even contact around the hand helps you notice when the wrist is drifting far back so you can adjust without losing control. The thin, flexible knit lets you move freely, and breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface comfortable during longer use.

Fit notes (seams off the bump; avoid back‑of‑wrist pressure)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the bump at the back of the wrist. Set the cuff slightly higher or lower so it does not press on the bump; keep it smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side). Ensure fingertip ends do not touch the nail edge and nothing feels crowded when you extend or straighten.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Edges feel softer on the back of the wrist, pushing up and desk work are more comfortable, and you can hold and turn with less bite in extension—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps reduce first‑touch sting. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For TFCC Irritation (ulnar‑sided wrist pain)

What TFCC irritation is and what it affects

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) stabilises the little‑finger side of the wrist and helps the forearm rotate. Irritation or a small tear here causes pain on the ulnar (little‑finger) side, worse with twisting, side‑bending the wrist toward the little finger, or bearing weight through that side of the hand. People notice aching with turning jars or keys, pressing on a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) near the little‑finger side, and sometimes a click with rotation.

Why symptoms happen

Twisting, ulnar deviation (wrist tilted toward the little finger), and weight‑bearing compress or shear the TFCC. Leaning on the ulnar heel of the hand focuses force on this area. Narrow handles encourage wrist tilt and keep the same fibres under load, so pain builds sooner. Guarding with one position after a flare keeps pressure on the same sore structures.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Repetitive twisting or side‑bending of the wrist (jars, tools, racquet sports) increases risk because the TFCC is sheared and compressed.
  • A prior wrist injury or a tendency for the ulna to be relatively longer increases risk because more load crosses the TFCC.
  • Weight‑bearing through the hand on the little‑finger side increases risk because the ulnar heel is pressed repeatedly.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Ulnar‑side wrist ache with turning, twisting, or side‑bending toward the little finger
  • Pain with leaning on the little‑finger‑side heel of the hand
  • A click or catch with forearm rotation that settles with rest
  • Relief when the wrist stays near neutral and holds are lighter

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician checks tenderness at the ulnar‑side wrist (fovea area), reproduces pain with gentle ulnar deviation or rotation, and tests stability of the distal radioulnar joint. They distinguish TFCC problems from tendon irritation at the same side (for example, the ECU tendon) and from nerve compression at the ulnar tunnel. Imaging is considered if the picture is unclear or symptoms persist.

Things to watch out for

  • A painful click with sudden loss of rotation or strength
  • Swelling or warmth that does not settle with rest
  • A sense of “giving‑way” at the ulnar side of the wrist
  • Numbness or tingling in the ring or little finger (suggests nerve involvement)

Why it matters to act

If shear and compression continue, day‑to‑day turning and weight‑bearing remain painful and you avoid forearm rotation. That reduces confidence and pushes you toward stronger, single positions that tire the hand. Softer contact at the ulnar heel and lighter, more neutral holds protect comfort while the area settles.

Cold and Raynaud’s: how grip and position change

On cold days, it is harder to sense wrist angle and many people grip harder and let the wrist drift toward the little finger to feel secure. That tilt loads the TFCC more and soreness rises earlier. Keeping warmth steady and softening contact at the ulnar border helps you keep a lighter, neutral position in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because ulnar‑border pressure and wrist tilt drive symptoms, the glove softens contact along the little‑finger‑side heel and supports lighter, more neutral holds. The inner fabric spreads force so hard edges and narrow handles feel gentler at the ulnar border. Light, even contact around the hand makes it easier to notice when the wrist is drifting toward the little finger so you can adjust without losing control. Gentle, even warmth helps the first turns after a break feel easier; breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface comfortable during longer use.

Fit notes (ulnar‑wrist comfort; cuff smooth; thumb web space)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the ulnar border or the groove of the ECU tendon. Keep the cuff smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side). Ensure the thumb web feels unpinched so you do not grip harder than needed, and check that fingertip ends do not press on the nail edge.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Turning and side‑bending feel steadier with less bite at the little‑finger side, and leaning on that edge is more comfortable—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you hold with less squeeze as you begin again. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Gout in the Hand (between flares only)

What gout in the hand is and what it affects

Gout is an inflammatory arthritis caused by monosodium urate crystals inside a joint. In the hand it can affect the wrist, the MCP joints (knuckles: where the fingers meet the hand), and sometimes the thumb base. A hot, very tender flare often starts suddenly and even light touch can be intolerable. Between flares, the joint may feel stiff or achy, and some people develop firm nodules (tophi) near joints or tendons that are sore with pressure. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), fasten, and handle small items can feel difficult during recovery after a flare.

Why symptoms happen

During a flare, crystals set off intense inflammation inside the joint; the capsule is stretched, the skin can look shiny, and any contact can feel unbearable. Pressing on narrow surfaces focuses force along sensitive joint margins, and if a tophus is present the skin over it is thinner and sore. As a flare settles, stiffness and a guarded way of holding can persist, so early movement feels awkward and pressing on edges and small handles still bites.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Gout becomes more common with age and is more often reported in men, because urate levels are higher on average.
  • Kidney disease and some medicines that reduce urate clearance increase risk because crystals form more readily.
  • A family history increases risk because urate handling can run in families.
  • Hand involvement is less common than the foot/ankle but can occur, especially after years of disease or with tophi.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Flares that arrive suddenly with a hot, red, very tender joint; even light touch hurts
  • Between flares: lingering stiffness and an ache that makes first movements hesitant
  • A firm, tender lump near a joint or tendon (tophus) that stings when pressed on a hard surface
  • Reduced confidence using your hands and fingers for small, accurate tasks after a recent flare

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician considers the flare pattern and examines the hot, tender joint. When possible, fluid taken from the joint shows urate crystals. Ultrasound or other imaging may show features of gout or tophi, and tests of urate levels guide long‑term care. They will distinguish a flare from joint infection, which needs urgent treatment.

Things to watch out for

  • A very hot, red, swollen joint with fever or feeling unwell (urgent assessment)
  • Rapidly worsening pain or new severe pain at rest
  • A tophus that becomes red, breaks down, or shows discharge
  • Flares that do not settle as expected

Why it matters to act

During a hot flare you need medical treatment and protection—do not press or warm the joint. As a flare settles, people often guard the hand and avoid contact, which feeds stiffness and reduces confidence. Gentle protection that softens narrow pressing and allows lighter holds helps you return to everyday hand use between flares without provoking soreness.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

Cold conditions can lower joint comfort between flares and make you grip harder or rest a joint on a hard edge for longer to feel secure. If a tophus is present, the skin over it can sting on first touches as you warm. Between flares, steady, mild warmth and softer contact help the first movements feel easier. Do not apply warmth over a hot, acutely inflamed joint.

How the gloves work for this condition

Between flares, the glove softens contact at sensitive joint margins and over any tophi and supports lighter, more varied holds. The inner fabric spreads pressing so hard edges and narrow handles feel gentler. The thin, flexible knit lets you move the fingers and wrist freely rather than holding one guarded position, and light, even contact along the hand makes it easier to judge how firmly you are holding. Gentle, even warmth helps the first few movements after a break feel easier in cool air; breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres help the surface feel comfortable. Not for use during a hot, acute flare.

Fit notes (between flares; seams off sore spots)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross a tender joint border or a tophus. Keep the cuff smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side). Start with short wear as you resume hand use after a flare; increase time only if everything settles well. Do not wear over a hot, red, acutely painful joint.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Between flares, first movements feel easier, edges and small handles feel less sharp, and you can hold and turn with less effort—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth between flares helps you hold with less squeeze. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Healed Distal Radius Fracture Stiffness (post‑immobilisation)

What post‑immobilisation wrist stiffness is and what it affects

After a distal radius fracture (broken wrist) has healed, it is common to have stiffness, reduced forearm rotation, and soreness at contact points. The front‑of‑wrist crease (palm side) or the back of the wrist can feel tender—especially if there is a surgical scar or the area was pressed by a cast. Using your hands and fingers to turn, push up from a chair, lean on the hand, or press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop) can feel sharp at those contact areas, and the first movements after rest feel tight.

Why symptoms happen

After weeks in a cast or splint, the joint capsule tightens and tendons glide less freely. A front‑of‑wrist (palm side) scar or tender back‑of‑wrist area is sensitive to narrow pressing, and wrist extension (bending far back) or leaning on an edge focuses force on those spots. Early movements after rest feel stiff until tissues warm and glide improves.

How common and who’s at risk

  • Longer immobilisation increases stiffness because the capsule and tendon sheaths tighten.
  • Surgical scars at the front of the wrist increase edge sensitivity because the skin and tissues beneath are tender during recovery.
  • Older age and higher swelling during casting increase risk because tissues are slower to regain glide.
  • Guarded hand use after the cast comes off increases risk because one‑position holding persists.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • Stiffness and a pulling feel at the front of the wrist (palm side) or back of the wrist on first use
  • Sharpness when resting the wrist on a hard edge or pushing up from the hand
  • Turning jars or keys feels restricted; forearm rotation is tight then eases slightly with gentle repetition
  • Tenderness along scar lines or areas that the cast rubbed

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician checks healing status, range of wrist and forearm motion, scar sensitivity, and tendon glide, and rules out complications such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or tendon irritation that needs a different approach. Imaging may be reviewed to confirm union.

Things to watch out for

  • Increasing redness, warmth, or swelling over a scar
  • A new click with sharp pain and loss of motion
  • Numbness or tingling in the thumb/index/middle fingers (front‑of‑wrist nerve irritation) or in the ring/little fingers (ulnar side)
  • Sudden loss of movement or severe night pain

Why it matters to act

If stiffness and edge pain make you avoid hand use, confidence drops and movement stays limited. Softer contact at the front and back of the wrist, plus gentle warmth for first movements, helps you re‑use your hand comfortably while you work on range and strength.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

On cold days the wrist feels tighter and it is tempting to rest the wrist on a hard edge for longer or keep the wrist extended to feel secure. That keeps pressure on tender areas and makes ache build faster. Steady, mild warmth and softer surfaces at contact points help first movements feel smoother without extra squeeze.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because edge pressure and first‑movement stiffness are the problems, the glove softens contact at the front‑of‑wrist crease and the back of the wrist and supports lighter, more neutral holds. The inner fabric spreads pressure so desk edges and narrow handles feel gentler. Light, even contact around the hand makes it easier to notice when the wrist is drifting far back, so you can adjust without losing control. Gentle, even warmth helps early movements feel easier; breathable, moisture‑wicking fibres keep the surface comfortable during longer use. The thin, flexible knit allows free bending and straightening rather than one guarded position.

Fit notes (cuff smooth at the front of the wrist; seams off tender areas)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Keep the cuff smooth across the front of the wrist (palm side) and position it slightly higher or lower if the back‑of‑wrist is tender. Place seams so they do not cross a scar or the area that hurts on edge contact. Start with shorter wear, check the skin—especially over scars—then increase time if comfortable.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Turning things and pushing using your hands feel easier, desk‑edge contact is gentler at the front and back of the wrist, and you can hold and turn with less effort—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps you begin again with less stiffness. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

For Healed Finger Volar‑Plate Sprain (tender joint border)

What a volar‑plate sprain is and what it affects

The volar plate is a thick ligament at the front (palm side) of a finger joint that prevents the joint from bending too far back (hyperextension). It is most often injured at the PIP joint (the middle finger joint), sometimes at the DIP joint (near the fingertip). After healing from a sprain, people can be left with sharp tenderness at the front edge of the joint, stiffness on first movement, and a bite when pressing that joint against a small surface. Using your hands and fingers to hold, turn, press a hard edge (for example, a desk or countertop), and handle small items can feel uncomfortable at that joint border.

Why symptoms happen

When the volar plate has been sprained and then heals, the front‑of‑joint tissues can remain sensitive for some time and may be tight. Pressing a small area—such as a narrow handle or a hard edge—concentrates force on the healed border. Holding the finger pushed very straight or letting it bend back even a little can also sting because the ligament resists that angle. After a break, the first bends and straightens feel tight until glide improves.

How common and who’s at risk

  • A “jammed finger” or sudden bend‑back injury in ball sports raises risk because the joint is forced into hyperextension.
  • Falls onto the hand or a sudden pull on a finger raise risk because the volar plate is stretched sharply.
  • Weight‑bearing through the hands (for example, planks or floor work) can aggravate a recent sprain because the joint is loaded near the end of its bend.
  • Returning to gripping and pressing tasks too quickly after the injury keeps the border sore for longer.

Daily pattern and signs to notice

  • A pinpoint tender spot at the front (palm side) of a single joint—most often the PIP
  • A sharper bite when the finger is pressed flat on a surface or when a small handle presses the joint border
  • Stiffness after a break with easier motion as you continue gently
  • A preference to keep the finger slightly bent to avoid the bite at full straightening

How diagnosis is confirmed

A clinician examines the tender joint, compares range to the other hand, and checks stability (side‑to‑side support and resistance to bend‑back). They will distinguish a healed volar‑plate sprain from collateral ligament injury, pulley problems, or a joint issue. Imaging may be reviewed if a small avulsion fragment was suspected during the original injury, but is often not needed once healing is established.

Things to watch out for

  • Ongoing swelling and heat in the joint or redness of the skin
  • A sense of instability or giving‑way at the joint
  • Locking, catching, or a new click with pain
  • Marked loss of bend or straighten compared with previous weeks
  • Numbness, colour change, or increasing night pain

Why it matters to act

If everyday pressing keeps targeting the healed border, tenderness lingers and confidence drops. People then hold the finger very straight or very bent to avoid the bite, which tires the hand and limits control. Softer contact at the joint edge and allowing a natural finger curve protect comfort while you rebuild easy movement.

Cold and Raynaud’s: what changes in cool air

When your fingers are cold, it is harder to judge joint angle and many people rest the finger straighter to feel secure or press the joint border against a hard edge for stability. That concentrates force on the healed area and soreness rises faster. If episodes of colour change also occur, first touches can sting more as you warm. Steadier warmth and a gentle surface at the joint border help everyday use in cool air.

How the gloves work for this condition

Because the tender area is the front edge of one joint, the glove softens contact there and lets the finger rest in a natural curve rather than being pushed flatter than it wants to be. The inner fabric spreads pressing so narrow handles and hard edges feel gentler at the joint border. The thin, flexible knit moves with you so early bends and straightens feel easier, and light, even contact along the finger makes it simpler to hold with less squeeze while avoiding bend‑back angles.

Fit notes (protect the joint border; allow a natural curve)

Choose a close fit that is not tight; after a few minutes the cuff should not leave marks or indentations. Position seams so they do not cross the tender front‑of‑joint crease. Ensure the fingertip end does not press on the nail edge, and allow the finger to rest in a slight curve—do not push it flatter than it feels comfortable. If the joint is irritable, start with shorter wear and check the skin; increase time only as comfort allows.

What you’ll feel + our promise

Pressing on small surfaces feels gentler at the tender joint edge, the first bends and straightens after a break are easier, and you can hold and turn without forcing the finger very straight—especially in cool air. If Raynaud’s also affects you, steadier warmth helps reduce first‑touch sting. If you are not satisfied, return the gloves within 30 days for a full refund.

Care and maintenance

Hand‑wash cool with mild soap. Turn the gloves inside out to wash, then back the right way to dry. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap; residues can reduce moisture‑wicking and grip. Do not wring; press water out gently in a towel, then air dry flat, away from direct heat or sunlight; reshape while damp. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying; they can damage fibres, reduce moisture‑wicking, weaken elasticity, and shorten the life of the silicone grip. Store clean and dry, folded flat rather than tightly rolled. From time to time, check high‑use areas—palms, fingertips, and the cuff—and replace the gloves if the fabric shows wear or the feel against the skin changes. If you have sensitive skin, wash before first use and build up wear time gradually.

Important information and when to act

Use with care.

  • Do not wear over open wounds or suspected infection.
  • Avoid use over marked swelling or after recent hand surgery without clearance from a GP.
  • A closer feel is not advised for some people with Raynaud’s. If you try a closer feel on professional advice, keep it gentle: there should be no pins and needles, and fingertips should feel warm within a few minutes in a warm room.
  • Stop wearing the gloves and reassess if you notice new numbness, colour change, skin irritation, or increasing pain during wear.
  • If fingertips become numb, painful, pale or blue, or feel colder during wear, remove the gloves, warm your hands, and refit more loosely or size up.
  • The design does not restrict blood flow and does not immobilise the joints.

Speak to a GP if any of the following apply: persistent swelling, heat, or redness that is not improving; new or worsening numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand or fingers; severe pain at rest or at night that is getting worse; frequent, severe, or unusually long episodes; fingertip sores or skin breakdown; symptoms not settling after a few weeks of these steps. For personalised advice on everyday comfort and use, a physiotherapist or GP can help.

    I have this 4 stars because they are very good but small. I bought a pair for my husband, normally medium fits and I even measured his hand for fitting, looked like medium would be perfect but farctoo small, they are a perfect fit for me. I’m ordering a large for my husband a hoping they’ll fit

    Bought 2 pairs for the upcoming winter months and they very warming and soothing to wear. I’m gonna buy an extra pair as we speak.

    by Sue

    They really do soothe and ease the Raynaud’s in my hands and in my opinion work much better than normal thermal gloves or “silver” gloves as they only trap heat but these boost your circulation and you can wear them underneath thermal gloves anyway for even more warmth anyway.

    They are a good fit, light and nice to wear and since getting and wearing them I haven’t had an episode of numb white finger. They are light enough not to have to take them off everytime I want to do something like getting small change out to pay someone and I am sure they would work well as a liner glove on thicker gloves when it gets colder. Hurrah!

    Bought these and I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am with them. I can actually feel my fingers outside in winter after years of suffering from the worst kind of Raynuads.

    by Esther CH

    Bought these previously and they genuinely made a huge difference to my hands in the cold weather. I no longer feared cycling in the cold as having these under my cycling gloves meant my fingers didn’t go numb. Buying another pair because I lost one of the old pair.

    Very good gloves. Over the years Iv purchased loads of different gloves that were meant to help with Raynauds disease but didn’t so I wasn’t expecting much when I purchased these but I am so glad I did. These are just marvellous and actually work!!!

    Arrived a couple days ago, they look great and wearing them has helped a lot with all this cold weather that we have been having lately.

    The support and compression that these gloves give your hands is good and does help.

    These gloves are exactly what I was looking for to help my ease Raynauds! They give good amount of compression which unlike the other so called Raynauds gloves you can buy online these ones actually works and stimulate the circulation in your hands. Having these on now means I don’t get anywhere near the level of numbness and stiffness when I go out in cold with these on. Highly recommend!!!
