I have a pinky finger with arthritis in the upper joint. It always feels swollen and I have tried to ice it while I work at my desk using a regular ice pack. I was looking for a way to keep working while icing. This was the perfect solution. They freeze very well and slide on easily. However, I have skinny fingers and this thing is very snug on my small pinky finger. It's so snug and presses tightly on the swollen joint which is a little uncomfortable. I can't leave it on for more than 5 minutes. But, it does help and I like it. It is a little easier to put on if I wait 5 minutes after removing from the freezer before putting it on. If your fingers are large, it may be a problem.
My pointer finger joint swells on a semi regular basis, Ice packs reduce the swelling but are hard to keep on and work at the same time. So this two pack worked out really well for me, I keep one at work and one at home when the swelling begins I throw the finger pack on for about twenty minuets then put it back. Its semi awkward to use because its too cold for direct contact with the skin so I usually use a paper towel wrapped around my finger then the pack around that which works great.
I bought this because of the arthritis in my thumb joint and was tired of making my own small cold packs. I could not get it on to my thumb at first but found that once the product defrosted some I was able to get the product on. While you should place a cloth between the product and your skin, do to the very secure fit I was not able to do this. So I wait until the product is pliable and not just out of the freezer. Even then I can only keep it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Do I get relief? YES. Do I recommend this product? YES
These have come in very handy over the last few months. They are sewn together well and hold the cold for a reasonable amount of time. The fabric is soft enough not to bother your skin but thick enough to not cause cold discomfort.
Like having cold satin pillows soothing your tight, painful osteoarthritic joints. They immediately make my two middle fingers feel better. Thank you for creating these, God bless you. I'm able to put these on for a few minutes bringing comfort to my joints and then keep it moving. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!

Love it I am recovering from a dislocated finger and this has helped big time
Very helpful for a hyperextended thumb. Soft and comfortable.
I like that it fits my fingers & thumbs really well and that it stays cold for a long time.
works great
These finger gel packs are really helping with my post surgery edema control.
I had a hard time doing frequent physical hand therapy on my finger due to the swelling that happens post stretching/strengthening/sraightening exercises. Icing my finger was difficult to do with a bag of ice because my hand would freeze before the finger would get cold and benefit from it.
The gel pack fits perfectly on my finger and actually lasts about 10-15 mins, which is perfect for a cooling off session post hand therapy. I am now able to bring the swelling down quicker and do more hand therapy sessions for my finger.
Make sure you wrap your finger in a piece of thin cloth to avoid frost burn. Use a thin fabric. I cut a piece out of an old sweat proof gym shirt. That worked really well, as the fabric was thin and smooth and allowed my finger to easily slide inside the gel pack.
