{"title":"Compression Gloves for Arthritis","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhy bamboo compression gloves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost compression gloves for arthritis are made from cotton-spandex or a thick synthetic knit. They work, but they can feel hot and tight after a few hours. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bamboo-compression-gloves\"\u003eFLEX+ Bamboo Compression Gloves\u003c\/a\u003e are knit from viscose from bamboo blended with nylon and spandex, so they feel smooth on the skin and let air move through the fabric. That makes them easier to keep on through a workday, a long evening of knitting or a full night of sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach glove covers the palm, knuckles and wrist with gentle, even compression and a light layer of warmth. In a large UK study of arthritis gloves, warmth and comfort were the benefits people mentioned most often. That is what we designed these arthritis compression gloves around: soft support you forget you are wearing, not a stiff brace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathable bamboo knit\u003c\/strong\u003e that stays comfortable day and night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen fingertips\u003c\/strong\u003e so you can text, type, cook and thread a needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle compression\u003c\/strong\u003e across the palm and finger joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e in Gray, Red, Blue, Cream and Performance Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFingerless vs full finger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull-finger compression gloves cover every joint, but they make small tasks hard. You lose the feel of a phone screen, a button or a page, and many people end up taking them off every few minutes. Fingerless gloves for arthritis stop just past the middle knuckles. You still get support and warmth around the joints where most people feel stiffness, and your fingertips stay free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your stiffness is mostly in the fingertip joints, or you only want gloves for sleeping, a full-finger style may suit you. For everyday wear, most people find open-finger arthritis gloves for hands easier to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose your size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a soft tape measure to measure across your palm, just below the knuckles, without including your thumb. Compare the number with the size chart on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bamboo-compression-gloves\"\u003eproduct page\u003c\/a\u003e. The gloves come in Small, Medium and Large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween two sizes? Pick the larger one if your knuckles are enlarged or your hands tend to swell later in the day. The gloves should feel snug and even, never pinching. If your fingers tingle, turn pale or feel numb, take them off and size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWearing them day and night\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany people put their gloves on at bedtime because hands often feel stiffest first thing in the morning. Others wear them during the day for typing, gardening, crafts or cold weather. There is no fixed schedule. Start with a few hours, see how your hands feel, and build up from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWash them by hand or in a laundry bag on a cold machine cycle, then let them air dry. Having two pairs makes it easy to wear one while the other dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompression gloves are a comfort aid. They do not replace the care plan from your doctor or hand therapist, so keep following it and ask them if gloves are a good fit for you. Want to know what the research says?
