Fagin gloves

CharlesG

Hi. I have seen recent advertisements online for fingertip cutoff gloves made from bamboo… does anyone use these, and are they any good? Worth the money? I am reviewing the situation…

Hi @CharlesG welcome to the online community.

I see you are considering trying the fingerless bamboo gloves.

This search I did on bamboo gloves might have something in it it help you:

https://community.versusarthritis.org/search?query=bamboo%20gloves&scope=site&source=community

They are all the conversations/threads on the subject.

Hopefully some of our members who have tried them might pop in to share their opinions.

Best wishes

Ellen.

I haven't tried these but have used some made of neoprene in the past which were lovely and supportive for daytime use.

As far as bamboo ones are concerned I have no experience and would definitely read those threads, but this is my theory on anything non-medical/alternative:

If I can afford it, it's clearly not a ridiculous idea and it does no harm I am happy to give it a go.

Best of luck

I used the compression gloves for my hands.They are really good. Make sure you get the right size.

Hello @Buk welcome to the online community

It is great when a new member offers support to someone on their first post. Thank you.

Hi Toni,

I'm here to support both of us. My husband has RA whilst I have unspecified arthritis in my left knee. I introduced myself yesterday but for some reason I don't see my post yet. Thanks for your lovely welcome :)

Hi Kate

Looks like your post has gone AWOL for now sometimes they end up in the spam folder and reappear later. That's bad luck both of you having a form of Arthritis. At least it means you understand each other and can empathise I suppose.

For me it's more the other way around my husband has recently discovered he has spondylosis in his neck so joining me!

Lovely to have you on board.

Take care
