Bracoo Wrist Brace Compression Wrap – Adjustable Support Strap for Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, Arthritis, Pain Relief – Fitness & Weightlifting Wristband – Left or Right Hand – WS10

Bracoo wrist brace is perfect for my wrist pain. The brace is not heavy, easy movement in thumb area with great STABILITY in the wrist area which was my most concern. My doctor gave me a full wrist and thumb brace with a metal stabilizer bar built in the brace. It was heavy and super uncomfortable. I text with my thumb on my phone and it was very hard to maneuver my thumb for texting. The brace due to it being heavy on my wrist made my wrist hurt even more. I bought this BRACOO wrist brace because a family member had bought one and said it worked great for them. Their job deals with using the computer everyday. So....I decided to give it a chance. Glad I did because its perfect...comfortable, lightweight, has great wrist stability, comfortable thumb movement and it's easy to put on and take off.

I was having pain when bending my wrists (in my 70s) and looked for a reasonably priced wrist brace. I had to get another one because the other wrist started acting up as well. I bought ththis bran and was very pleased. I put them on and wrapped them around my wrist, but the part by the hole was loose. I realized after a few minutes that I had put it on wrong. It fits like a glove if you wrap it so the logo tag is on the outside. Thumb in the hole, and then wrap over the top of the hand and then around.

I purchased this wrap back in May 2012 and have since been using it almost everyday for my P90X workouts to help support my right wrist. To give you an idea what I put this wrap through, I have used this wrap while doing regular push-ups, plyo push-ups, yoga, and any other workout that required me to apply any type of pressure to my right wrist. This wrap for the most part has helped alleviate any pain I would feel without it. As other reviewers have mentioned, the wrap does tend to loosen itself around your wrist over time. This can get annoying when doing workouts or anything active. The wrap also tends to cut off blood circulation in your wrist making it uncomfortable over time but this is only natural since you are applying pressure to the veins of your wrist. I found the only way around this was to take off the wrap from time to time or try not to wrap too tight around your wrist. Since I mainly used it for my workouts, I have placed this wrap in the washer and dryer many times. After removing it from the dryer you will notice that it will reform back to its original state because after sweating and so many uses it tends to stretch a little. Now at the time of purchasing this wrap back in 2012, this was the only wrap I could find of it's kind that was affordable and wasn't too stiff. Now that my Bracco wrap has become worn and somewhat torn I have been looking into purchasing another Bracco but have stumbled across another wrap on Amazon that I have purchased that seems to offer much better support and is of much better quality: "FirmGrip Athletics Wrist Support Straps Wraps Bands (2 Pack) For Lifting Crossfit Workouts Sports Men and Women" I have been using the FirmGrip for a couple weeks now and I must say this wrap is much wider than the Bracco that it offers a much better support for the wrist. I also noticed this wrap does not loosen over time due to a much stronger velcro than the Bracco and it seems much more durable by the feel of it. The only issues I have with it so far is that since the wrap is wider it tends to cut off blood circulation in your wrist much easier and that you are forced to buy a pack of two for double the price of a Bracco. I have not placed it yet in the washer or dryer, so I do not know how well it will hold up. The Bracco is a good wrap and I definitely recommend it. The FirmGrip, so far I must say, is the better built wrap. Also, you will notice, 99% of the positive reviews for the FirmGrip were from reviewers who received a promotional discount for an "honest review." I DID NOT receive a promotional discount for purchasing the FirmGrip and have not left a review for it, not until I have used it long enough to give it a fair review.

I got this to wear while planing tennis. It allows some flexibility,and helps to support my arthritic wrist but it does slip, so it has to be rewrapped while wearing it. I believe it would be MUCH BETTER if it was about 3 inches longer and, perhaps if it had a slightly smaller thumb hole. The thumb hole stretches, increasing the need for adjustment. I have a 6 3/4 inch wrist and I don't see how this wrap would be useful for someone with a larger wrist. An added 3 inches would enable it to wrap a second time over the wrist above the thumb, and I believe that would greatly increase the support. The fabric is soft and comfortable,washes well and dries surprisingly fast. This is so close to being a great wrist wrap because it leaves the palm uncovered to not interfere with grip, and stays in place better than wraps without a thumb hole. SO CLOSE, I want it to be right, but misses the mark. TO THE MANUFACTURER: If you make these changes, or offer in a range of sizes, let me know. I will happily buy another. The price is good enough (with free shipping!) that adding a little to increase length would probably not hurt sales.

I am fond of support straps because of how unrestrictive they are yet supportive. These straps are everything ive been searching for in wrist straps. a quick break down of each one i've come across Ace brand wrist support straps are just too damn wide but made of the same material. deal breaker. Futuro Sport wrist support straps constantly slips out of place and have to be re-wrapped, and if its too tight, it makes the pain worse. dealbreaker. especially at 11 bucks a strap at the local cvs. If you ever go to Family Dollar, they have very similar straps that are made by Curad, they are 4 bucks a piece, and are not as good quality; they wear out at the thumb because its not stitched like these yasco straps, its punched with a hole puncher, the thumb hole is not too small, but just wears out too quickly, and the strap itself is not breathable and makes your wrist chafe. these best compare to the Curad straps, only they are stitched at the thumb hole, made of same layers of material as the ace straps without being too wide, and the exact length of the Curad straps. These straps are everything i wanted out of the Curad straps. i am ordering more in case i loose one which i tend to do because i drop EVERYTHING! (cts) best way to wrap your wrist is to put it on the thumb, and touch your thumb & index finger together and THEN wrap around....that minimizes how much the strap pulls backwards on your thumb.

I'll say first off that this brace isn't what you're looking for if you have serious pain/injury or if you're looking for complete immobilization: get a real wrist brace with a metal insert if that's what you need. However, as someone with occasional minor soreness in my wrists, these wraps have been great as a very comfortable, lightweight way to help me keep my wrist straight during activities like typing, driving, or playing video games. As long as you wrap it snugly around your wrist (not too high up on your hand, or too low on your arm), it provides ample resistance to any wrist movement. You could definitely bend your wrist against the resistance if you tried hard enough, but it would be very hard to do so unintentionally. And because the material is soft and elastic, I could comfortably wear these all day long, which is definitely not something I could say about any of the other wrist supports I've tried. Again, not a replacement for heavier-duty wrist braces, but this is a great supplement for those times where you just want a little bit of reinforcement without any discomfort.

Update: After fewer than 10 days wearing the Bracoo wrist wrap, the wrap stretched enough that it kept slipping down and no longer held my wrist stable. Although I like the look, the fabric and the ease of putting it on and off, it won't do the job and I will have to buy a "real" ugly, black, big wrist wrap that holds the wrist tightly and won't slip down. I bought two wrist wraps for comparison, the Bracoo for $6.99 and the Thermoskin for $16.98. I have a pinched nerve running from an inch below the inside of my wrist to the tip of my thumb. It fires off an electric shock if I twist my left wrist to the left so I wanted a wrist wrap that would stabilize my wrist. Both wraps offer very light wrist support. Both are comfortable to wear and they give me enough wrist support to do Pilates and most activities. My wrist moves up and down about half-way and side to side about half-way too. That level of support works for me but may not be sufficient for other injuries. Both wraps need to be rewrapped numerous times during the day to keep the wrist stable but it's quickly done. The Bracoo has no thumb support and the thumb can easily move around through a larger thumb hole. The Thermoskin has just a little thumb support with a smaller thumb hole but you can still move your thumb all around towards your fingers with just a little effort. (I also have a Thermoskin thumb brace which works very well to keep your thumb immobile.) The Bracoo is made for a smaller hand and wrist and it lays flat against the back of my hand. I have a 6” wrist and a 7-3/4” hand in its widest part. The Thermoskin often gaps on the back of my hand and I must carefully rewrap it to get rid of the gap which is noticeable to others, particularly because the inside fabric is bright orange. Functionally, the gap doesn’t seem to make any difference. The Bracoo is very stretchy and, after 8 or 9 days, it slipped down more. The Velcro tab sticks to the fabric of the wrap so there is no Velcro patch sewn onto the wrap itself. In contrast, the Thermoskin tab sticks to a large patch of Velcro sewn onto the wrap fabric. Because the stitching goes through the wrap, the wrap is far less stretchy. The Thermoskin is a thicker material so it slips less but is not perfect. I like that both wraps come in colors that are less noticeable. I got the Bracoo in light gray and the Thermoskin in beige. I prefer the beige color but I initially liked the Bracoo better because it was more comfortable, particularly at night. I cannot wear the Bracoo now because it doesn't support my wrist at all unless I tighten it so much that it hurts the pinched radial nerve on the side of my wrist.

I exercise regularly and do mostly cardio with light weight lifting. When I do lift weights, its usually smaller amounts in higher reptition, so I dont need a full weight lifting glove, but I was finding that my wrists would get a little sore after a workout, so I wanted something light that would give me a little bit of support. I didnt know what to get, so I ordered this along with a set of "Grizzly Fitness Power Training Wrist Wraps" that were more expensive. I love how this fits around my thumb and completely wraps around my wrist. When the Velcro is attached, it does not snag on my clothes like the Grizzly does. I am a 5'10" male of average build and weight. I would say my arms, wrists, and hands are average for my size, and this wrap fits me with room to spare. I could see if that if I had monster hands or really thick wrists, this would not fit, but I feel confident that saying averaged sized males, and all but the largest women should have no problem fitting into this. Keep in mind though, that this is just a neoprene wrap. Its not the same thing as proper weight lifting gloves, however, if you just need something lightweight to give you just a little bit more support during light weightlifting, these are perfect and a great value!
