I've been wearing these gloves nightly for arthritis pain (can't wear them during the day due to work - hands constantly either wet or dirty... or both) and so far they are helping with the pain. Not sure if that's from the compression or the copper but don't really care as long as something is helping. I tried the gloves that have exposed fingertips as I do like to read on my iPad in the evenings but the swelling caused by the arthritis is at the joint nearest my fingernails... in any case, these gloves don't play nice with the IPad so I have to remove them in order to read or even turn off the bedside lamp (a touch button). I'm going to search for a stylus that will work with the iPad or iPhone but it would have been nice if the gloves had something that would make working with a touch screen easy - after all dealing with arthritis is difficult enough.

I purchased the medium sized, full-fingered, non-swipe tip gloves (although I thought I remembered ordering the swipe-tip) about a month ago. I measured my hands according to their size chart, and I was just at the bottom size for medium, so I ordered those.

Some of the answers to questions (from consumers) made it look as though the non-swipe full-fingered gloves were touchscreen compatible. They are definitely NOT. Order the swipe-tip or fingerless for this. The company (further down the list of answers) makes this clear.

After receiving my gloves, the company quickly contacted me to see how I liked them. I mentioned that I thought I had ordered the swipe tip and also that they seemed a bit too loose; were they supposed to compress more? They answered back quickly and said yes, more compression. They sent along the small swipe-tip size at no extra cost and told me to just keep the medium size ones as well. Excellent service.

I have now had the smalls for two weeks or so, but when I try them, they just don't keep my fingers warm enough. I have contacted the company and told them this. It's good to keep in mind that I live in WI with currently below zero temps. I also had frostbite years ago, and do not have joint pain.

Here's a quick summary:
-If you need touchscreen capability, buy fingerless or swipe-tip. Full-fingered regulars won't work.
-If you are at the edge of two sizes, I recommend buying the smaller one.
-The company has fantastic service. They will work with you to get you the right product. Message them with questions before buying.
-Most reviews say they are great for arthritis and temp regulation. I have no reason to doubt this.
-I don't have joint pain. I had frostbite years ago and my chief complaint is cold and numb fingertips. For whatever reason these gloves don't keep my hands as warm as I need them. Also keep in mind I live in WI and it's the middle of winter. Fluffy gloves and hand warmers are working better for this need.
-The swipe-tip is finicky. It's a small surface area and you have to finagle it just right to use it.
-In my readings, most people with arthritis recommend having a few types of compression gloves for various needs and seasons. Keep in mind these might not be the "one glove fits all" option but more of a "this glove fits a specific need".

I am giving these gloves four stars mostly because of customer service. They don't work well for my needs; however, they are a quality product with great service.

These gloves are great! I have osteoarthritis so my hands really start to hurt when I have to grip something for long periods of time during the day or sometimes I wake up with pain in my hands when I'm sleeping. These take care of those problems. They are not too tight but really relax the joints in my hands. I've had a regular pair (without the swiping tips) for about a year now & although I've never noticed a problem with my touch screens when wearing them I wanted to get another pair anyway so I thought I'd try these with the swiping tips. What a difference. I barely have to touch the screen for it to respond. I guess I never noticed I was pressing down more with the regular gloves. If you have pain in your hands I'd definitely recommend these, and if you use touch screens on your phones or tablets you really want the swiping tips. I wear my regular pair every day & like I said they are still holding together with no problems. The pair I bought before these from another company started coming apart after the first week. I only got this new pair with the swiping tips today but I'm sure they will hold up as well as the first regular pair.

Sturdy stitching, I chose large which is appropriate for my big female hands. Great fit up to wrists. I wear because I have cold fingers when in air conditioning especially becomes painful. I love that I can use my mobile phone and computer without removing them. I sleep with them most of the time and the stitching is still holding with the constant on and off.

10 stars not sure why the negative reviews! They have a 1 year warranty so sign up! Comfortable helps me 100% I drive 12 hours a day and I can feel the difference when I take them off and drive. Helps 100% for carper tunnelI and arthritis, I wear a small but ordered a medium. I also have long nails hard to find gloves that can hold up ordering more pairs for back up! Thank you amazon!
