FLEX+ Bamboo Compression Gloves

Bamboo Compression Gloves: Open-Finger Comfort for Stiff, Achy Hands

FLEX+ Bamboo Compression Gloves are soft, open-finger bamboo compression gloves that give your palms, knuckles and wrists gentle, even compression while leaving your fingertips free to type, text, cook, knit and grip. They are made for hands that feel stiff in the morning, ache after a day of work or swell in the evening, and for people who want bamboo arthritis gloves that feel soft and breathable instead of tight and scratchy.

Made for arthritis-prone hands

We designed these bamboo gloves for arthritis-prone hands that feel stiff, cold or puffy. The bamboo knit is smooth on tender knuckles, the compression is gentle and even rather than tight, and the open fingertips mean you do not have to take them off every time you pick up your phone. Wear them overnight, on cold mornings or during long stretches of typing, cooking and crafts.

What makes these compression gloves different

• Bamboo softness. Viscose from bamboo blended with nylon and spandex feels silky and breathes, so your hands stay comfortable day or night.
• Open fingertips. Keep your sense of touch for phones, keyboards, needles and buttons.
• Even compression across the palm, finger joints and wrist.
• Five finishes. Bamboo in Grey, Red, Blue and Cream, plus a smooth Performance option in Black.
• Sold as a pair, left and right.

Who they are for

• Hand osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, especially morning stiffness. Healthdirect has a helpful overview of arthritis, and also explains rheumatoid arthritis.
• Swollen, puffy hands and fingers after a long day or in warm weather.
• Carpal tunnel symptoms and trigger finger discomfort during daily tasks.
• Cold, achy hands that feel better with a little warmth and support.

Compression gloves support comfort and do not replace treatment from your doctor or hand therapist. Healthdirect has a guide to hand injuries and disorders if you are not sure what is causing your symptoms.

How compression gloves help

Gentle, even pressure around the hand and finger joints gives a warm, supported feeling that many people find makes gripping, writing and opening jars more comfortable. Light compression may also help hands feel less puffy. FLEX+ gloves use gentle to moderate compression and are not a medical-grade garment.

Compression gloves FAQ

Do compression gloves help arthritis?
Many people with hand arthritis say gloves make their hands feel warmer and more comfortable, especially in the morning. Research suggests the warmth and comfort matter more than the exact amount of compression. They are a comfort aid, so keep following your doctor's treatment plan. Read more in our guide: Do arthritis gloves work?

Are bamboo gloves good for trigger finger?
Trigger finger is a tendon problem, and gloves do not treat it, but many people find that gentle warmth and compression make a stiff, catching finger feel more comfortable during daily tasks. The open fingertips let you keep moving the finger normally. If a finger locks or stays bent, see a doctor or hand therapist.

Can I sleep in them?
Yes, many customers wear them overnight. Remove them if your fingers feel numb or tingly.

Can I use my phone with them on?
Yes. The open fingertips leave your touch free for screens and small buttons.

Are these bamboo compression gloves for women or men?
Both. The gloves are unisex and sized by the measurement across your palm, so use the size chart rather than a men's or women's label.
