I certainly had reservations about ordering these thimbles. If they had not been so inexpensive, I'm not sure I would have even tried this style. I have been sewing for more than 60 years, and that's about how long I've been looking for even an acceptable thimble. The traditional ones simply have never worked for me. They are uncomfortable, awkward, and ineffective. I thought I had tried just about every kind of thimble available, and never found one I thought was great. The one that came closest to working well was the thimble that is a metal disk, with dimples on it, and with little round sticky pads that allow you to stick the thimble on the end of your finger. I've used those for years but have not been totally satisfied with them because the sticky pads have to be replaced so frequently, and they still allow the thimble to slip around on my finger. I finally decided to research thimbles one more time. This thimble that I purchased on Amazon, the one that is open on one side, is a design I have often seen but have dismissed without even trying. I do not have long nails, and I really thought this thimble would not fit well and would not stay in place well. However, out of desperation, I decided to try the ones on this site. I read reviews in which customers complain that the thimble is hard to adjust, requiring needle nose pliers. I have not found that to be true. The ones I received were very easy to adjust, but not so easy that I have to worry about the shape not holding during use. I was concerned that the fit would not be comfortable, because I have a writer's bump on my thimble finger, and on the other side of that same finger, I have a cist that is about the same size as the writer's bump. I was sure that the thimble would not fit, or that even if it did, it would hit right at those bumps, be uncomfortable, and not stay on my finger during use. I have experienced none of these problems. The thimble stays on while I'm sewing, it fits comfortably, and it is not at all awkward to use, as I had feared. I think I have finally found the thimble that is perfect for me. No more nasty sticky pads to deal with, and no more thimble slipping around or falling off my finger during use. I'm glad Amazon sold this package with two small and two medium thimbles. I would have guessed that I would need a medium, but that is not the case. The small is the perfect fit for my hand. It's nice to have two, in case I misplace one. I hope this review helps someone else who has been searching for a comfortable and effective thimble.

I have bigger lady hands. I wear women's large or XL gloves, and men's small gloves. These are all the same size and don't fit my thumbs. They fit all my other fingers well, but my thumb is unhappy in there. I don't have out of proportion thumbs. Besides that they're great thimbles.

Like that the pack comes with a couple different sizes as well as being adjustable.

These are so much more comfortable and functional than traditional thimbles

Well, not quite sure how to rate these. I tried using taking only one with me when I went out of town. When I went to use it, it seems rather big and fell off. I know they are adjustable but at the time I needed it, I wasn't quite happy. Will try again with a smaller one next time
