COMFORTABLE AND DOES THE JOB

WELL MADE WIDE WRIST SUPPORT......

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 injured my wrist - hyper extended - playing basketball so I was looking for something a bit more substantial than an Ace bandage but not as restrictive as those longer Velcro braces that contain a hard, plastic stop that prevents either flexion or extension.The product I received is as it looks in the photograph. But as others have said, the thumb hole is very large. And the wrist wrap itself is a bit short. I have small wrists. I could wrap the wrap as it is shown - one full wrap. To gain any support you should be able to wrap it twice. That would have been much better. I constantly try to move the wrap about trying to find a good position for support. And as I said, I have small wrists.As far as the thumb hole is concerned - it is very large. You can try to twist the wrap around your thumb but it makes wearing the wrap a bit uncomfortable. The problem is I have not found a better alternative. This one is fair but not great. I would be much better if the thumb hole diameter was a bit smaller and the wrap itself was about 7-8 inches longer allowing for one additional wrap around the wrist.

The media could not be loaded. Very comfortable. Thick but thin enough, padded and stretchy. Recommended 👍.The padding around the thumb hole is a little too wide, but do not get discouraged as it creates durability. The stitching is also quite nice.As a female weight lifter and in the restaurant industry, my wrists often hurt a lot from carrying heavy objects or even bench pressing. This feels very nice.

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.
