Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My family tends to make use of several brace/bandage type products. These are typically for injuries related to sports activities (soccer, lacrosse, cheerleading, etc.). Typically, we will use an Ace or Futuro product.
As far as this Ace Splint Wrist Brace, here is what it is, and is not:
* It is advertised as being reversible, and it is. It comes in the package set up for right-handed use. To change it to left-handed use, simply pull the splint from its pocket, turn over the brace, and slide the splint back in.
* The brace is advertised as "One Size Adjustable." I think this is somewhat of a misnomer. It is indeed adjustable. This is easy to do, and it will expand/contract from 5 ½" to 8/12" inches at its smallest point (your wrist). The problem is when you say "One size" I think people assume it is one size fits "all", or at least "most." In the case of this brace, I would say if you are an adult female and are anywhere from petite to a little above average size, you should be fine. If you are male, if your hands/forearms are anything beyond average size, this might be uncomfortable/tight fit. As an example, I am of average height, and my wrist is a little over 8 ½", and the brace barely fits.
As far as comfort, it is a brace after all, in essence a sleeve with fasteners and a metal splint, so it will feel somewhat constrictive when on. While something that fits loosely is usually more comfortable, if a brace is loose, it simply won't work.
Construction-wise the brace is nice. It is non-latex and breathes very nice so you won't feel overly warm, or sweaty, with it on. It has three hook/eye fasteners to secure it. The inside of the sleeve is not rough. In fact, its quite comfortable against your skin.
The brace is NOT machine-washable, nor should it be tumble-dried or dry cleaned. Ace recommends washing by hand with warm (not hot) water and mild soap, then allowing it to air dry.
I find the brace provides more support for sprains CTS than does a plain Ace bandage.
All in all, this is a good product, but keep in mind the size of your hand/wrist when purchasing.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program After several years of working at a computer, my right wrist aches sometimes from using a mouse for too long. When I saw this on the Vine program, I jumped at the chance to try it. For me, it helps. It keeps my wrist in a position that stops it from aching. I don't have overly large wrists/hands, and this brace fits easily. The stretchy material gives it a nice snug fit, but I can tell that it will fit wrists larger than mine.
The brace provides good support. It's not like a cast, for sure, but it helps me keep my wrist in a proper position.
One thing that I can't speak to is longevity. I've only had it a couple of months, and I haven't done anything but use it at my computer. That said, it looks like it did on the first day.
A couple of things that I wish were different:
1) I might be pulling it too tight (but I don't think so), but after a while, my fingers tingle a bit because it's restricting blood flow.
2) I can type with it on, but using a mouse is clumsy. So, it helps my wrist feel better, but it makes using a computer more difficult.
For ~$20, I think it's worth trying if you're experiencing wrist pains. I was fortunate and got to try it for free, but now that I have tried it, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be disappointed in it if I'd paid $20 for it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Ace Splint Wrist Brace, One Size, Adjustable is good for support and if the wrist is injured. I know what to use if any of the kids injures their wrist, or just needs support.
My kids all played some type of sports of some kind, even though they were mostly academically geared, they all played enough to get injuries, plus just everyday life can cause injuries.
Good Product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This wrist bace gave me quick relief, I can wear it for few hours and I can see the difference. I have 2 small children and I carry them a lot and my wrist sometimes are sore. I also sleep sometimes it the brace because I tend to bend my wrist and can wake up with annoying pain.
The quality is really good and this brace fits me and my husband ( 5'6'' 135lb, and 5'11'' 170 lb). It's hand wash and air dry only but my hand did not sweat a lot in it so I don't have to wash it very often.

I would have rated the Flents First Aid Finger Cots much, much lower but one star was the lowest that I could rate them. I bought these assorted finger cots from the local Walmart because this was the only brand available. I tried to put one on my finger to protect a cut and the cot would not even roll up as depicted in the picture on the box. The cot will not roll up no matter how you put it on your finger or how hard you try because after a few attempts, the cot tears. I went through several, different sizes, thinking my first one was defective but none would roll up my finger and they all ended up tearing. I had to toss the remaining cots in the trash because they're absolutely WORTHLESS! Please try another brand, this one is a waste of good money.
