Povihome Black Finger Protectors, Finger Cots, Moisturizing Thumb and Finger Covers - New Thick Version - Elastic Cracked Finger Sleeves to Protect Cracked, Peel Finger and Other Finger Pain

I work as a bartender and have had problems with little splits in the tips of my thumb from harsh chemicals that our dish machine uses.I go through a lot of Band-Aids and cheap little finger cuts and I've searched around for years for the perfect ones, THESE ARE IT!they wrap around your thumb or finger and seal water tight against your skin just like a wetsuit does,the feel of the material is very similar.I also have a good thickness and sponginess to them so that they protect a sensitive feeling area but you still have plenty of proper grip. they're not at all slippery, even when wet.if there's one downside and it's the only thing I found it's that you can't scroll or swipe or operate a cell phone screen with the digit these are on, other than that they're absolutely perfect. ***** HIGHLY RECOMMEND *****

Makes my fingers feel much better when working on hobbies

I have nerve and tendon issues in my right ring finger that was made worse when I sprained it doing housework in March. I spend much of my day working on illustrations and writing, which puts excess pressure on the upper joint of this finger and causes soreness and fatigue. I think a bit of arthritis might also be at fault. I decided to try these sleeves to see if the would alleviate some of the discomfort as I work. Fortunately, they do!I found these sleeves too long at first, as I only need to cover the top joint in my finger, but cutting them in half made them the right size (see attached photo). They reduce pressure on the joint that results from gripping pens, pencils and paint brushes much of the day. My hands feel less fatigued as a result. After cutting them in half, I also now have enough of these sleeves to last me for several months and don't expect to need replacements before the end of the year.As far as downsides go, there are a few minor annoyances that I've come across while wearing these sleeves. First, being that they are made of silicon, they can lock in moisture and make the underlying area sweaty. This can make them just a little uncomfortable when you're wearing them for an extended period of time, as I do. Second, they can also act as erasers if they slide over your paper when you are drawing or writing in pencil. Woops! I've inadvertently lifted a few pencil sketches this way. I have to remember to keep a small sheet of paper between my hand and the surface I'm drawing or writing on to avoid this, though as it also prevents general smudging, it's a good practice anyway. Lastly, they are silicone. They will hold up to light use, but I wouldn't do anything too aggressive while wearing them, as I don't think they would hold up. If you're drawing, writing or doing other typical day-to-day tasks, they should be fine.These sleeves are definitely worth trying if you need a bit of extra cushion to protect fingers over the course of the day, but they do have a few drawbacks to keep in mind. Your experiences with them may vary, depending on your needs. For me, they do the job, don't cost much and I have no major complaints.** Note: If you found this review helpful, please mark it helpful to let me know and help other buyers. Thanks! **

Because of nerve damage, I have lost some fine motor control - specifically, in this instance, the fingertip grip that is super helpful with crochet. I have learned how to grip my work with thumb and first knuckle instead. The downside of this is that when I'm working with stiffer yarn, it scrapes against my finger like sandpaper. When I started getting sores, I knew I had to find something to help.These finger sleeves are great protection. They are a little snug getting on and off, and they are a little more bulky than I'd like, but they work exactly as hoped. Bonus: When I accidentally hook the edge of the sleeve, the material has been bouncing back without getting stretched out or otherwise damaged. I'm pretty happy with them.

Great use for short time periods but it tended to slip and become uncomfortable after a while.

Due to surgery I have to hold the golf club in such a manner that my index fingers take more of a beating than before. By snipping the ends off these thick, black, soft rubber gadgets, I can now whack balls all day without the bone pain that I had been having. Also tried several other options, but the thickness and softness of these proved ideal and their lumen diameter is large enough that they don't cut off the circulation. I pull them all the way up to the junction with my palm and there's minimal "sliding down" issues.

Stupid product. Did not help with pain or stiffness at all.

I bought this to stop eating my fingers due to anxiety but it doesnt work. Makes your fingers sweat and looks like youve been in a pool for 2 hrs. It gets dirty to fast to quick because its silicone and everything sticks.

I have an arthritic finger and use these when I play Pickleball . It really helps ease pressure & pain

these are thicker and protect better than the other ones purchased on line and seem to work better . Would not advise leaving these on unattended, if covering a wound, as your finger may get infected

Got this for my boy who injured his figure nails while playing basketball. And this product protected his fingers perfectly.

These silicone finger protectors are great for larger fingers but be warned they do not come in sizes so I can only use it on my thumb and will have to buy some other protection for my other fingers. They do a good job of protecting my thumb which was being cut by sewing with fishing line.

The price is really not justified. It’s just pieces of silicone that gets slippery when you sweat because the skin doesn’t breath. When there is dirt on it, it doesn’t come out easily.
