When did the jar lid start winning?
Nobody decides to stop knitting. It starts with a jar you hand to someone else. Then it's the car key that stings to turn, the card you write in two sittings, the project you put down after twenty minutes. The base of your thumb decides for you, a little more every month.
A rigid splint locks the whole thumb. That's fine after an injury, but impossible to live in. A soft glove keeps you warm, but doesn't hold anything. What's missing is a pad that steadies the one joint that hurts, at the base of the thumb, while everything else keeps moving.
Made for your hands, not for a drawer
Why the base of your thumb hurts first
Every pinch, twist and grip goes through one small joint, right where your thumb meets your wrist. It works harder than any other joint in your hand. Over the years it gets loose, and every movement makes it shift a little. That's the ache you feel when you open a jar.
It rests right on the base of the thumb and holds the joint steady, so it stops shifting with every grip.
Your thumb still bends and pinches. You can hold a needle, a pen, a trowel.
Fingertips and thumb tip stay bare. You keep all your feel and all your grip.
A thin, breathable knit. No hard plastic edge digging into your palm.
On in three moves
One size, nothing to adjust. The only thing that matters is where the knit sits.
One size, stretches to fit. A question? Email us, we'll reply in English or French within 24 hours.
They picked up their needles again…
★★★★★
Three weeks. Yesterday I finished a full dishcloth without stopping once. My daughter noticed before I said anything. I showed her my thumb — no swelling, no click. She ordered hers that night.
★★★★★
I paid $60 for a rigid splint that made my whole hand useless. This one did the opposite. My wife grabbed the second one in the box before I even asked. We both wear them now when we play cards at night.
★★★★★
Opening jars was my cane in disguise. Now I just open them. Photo taken at the kitchen counter, my husband thought it was silly. I sent it to him anyway.
★★★★★
Knitting circle on Thursdays. We're allowed to complain for five minutes, then we knit. Now I don't even use my five minutes. Under my sleeve, nobody knows.
★★★★★
Retired guitarist. My fretting thumb gave out two years ago. Now I still play two sets on Friday nights at the local. My wife likes that less, but she took the picture anyway.
★★★★★
The crochet hook. Getting back to my granny squares. I'd given up on my blanket project. It's half done now. I put it on in the morning with my coffee, take it off at night, and forget it in between.
★★★★★
I didn't think something that soft could do anything. I wear it from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and forget it's there. It's my thumb joint that remembers the difference.
★★★★
Placement is everything. The first day I had it too loose and it shifted. I followed the little card in the box, pad right over the joint, and then yes.
★★★★★
I'm not saying it's a miracle. I'm saying I type through a whole afternoon without that needle feeling in my joint. For me, that's everything.
★★★★★
One for knitting, one in my project bag. I've had both for a month. I honestly can't remember the last time I stopped early because of thumb pain.
★★★★★
Last winter my needles stayed in the drawer. This winter I feel ready. Arrived in three days, nice little box.
★★★★★
Skeptical. 60-day guarantee, I had nothing to lose. At 60 days, asking for my money back isn't even on my mind.
★★★★★
My sister stopped quilting two years ago. Me, I'm still here with my hoop every evening. I want it to stay that way.
★★★★★
Three seconds in the morning with my coffee. I take it off at night. It's part of my routine now, like my reading glasses.
★★★★★
Bought it for my 74-year-old mother. She sent me a photo of the baby blanket she finished. Just that. I understood.
★★★
The first two days it felt too loose. I adjusted the fit following the FAQ and now it stays put. Just needed to know how.
★★★★★
Scrolling on my phone, typing on my keyboard, opening the car door. It's all those little movements that come back.
★★★★
Slim and flat, my sleeve hangs straight over it. I would have liked a third colour, but the beige works under everything.
★★★★★
My neighbour asked me why I wasn't stopping to rest my hand every ten minutes anymore. I showed her. She ordered that same night.
★★★★★
Christmas craft fair with my granddaughters, three hours of demos on my feet. I got through the whole day with one hand free.
★★★★★
Fast shipping, quick answers in English, a company that picks up the phone. And the product works. I ordered a second pair as a backup.
★★★★★
The second one in the box went into my purse. I'm never caught without one when the pain flares up somewhere.
★★★★★
They told me it was just age. I didn't accept that. One small pad over the joint, and I was back at my piano.
★★★★★
My wife and I each have one, that's what the box of two is for. In the morning we check whose thumb behaved better. 44 years married.
★★★★★
I had a drawer full of rigid braces that made my whole hand useless. This is one small pad. I can actually use my fingers.
★★★★★
Guitar nights with the guys on Fridays. Full sets standing up. For two years I'd been stopping after twenty minutes.
★★★
The pad shifted the first day. I figured out you have to centre it right at the joint base, not higher. Since then it stays put.
★★★★★
My grandkids say I can keep up with them at crafts now. They're my real test.
★★★★★
I'm 71, I thought guitar was behind me. My niece insisted I try this. Glad she did, once again.
★★★★★
It stays where I put it, that's the miracle. Every other brace ended up bunched around my wrist after an hour.
★★★★
Good product. I would have liked more size options for larger hands, but it stretches enough to cover and holds well.
★★★★★
My sister recommended it, now I recommend it. There are three of us in the knitting group wearing one now. That says it all.
★★★★★
Easy to slip on even with stiff hands in the morning. One motion, it's on. They thought of us.
