12 Pack Buddy Tape Finger Straps With Padded No-Slip Hook and Loop Are A Washable and Reusable Finger Splint Solution To Support Injured Fingers (Black)

These convenient buddy tape finger splints work great. For those who don't know what "buddy tape" is I will explain how it typically works without these handy straps. You take the affected finger and tape it to the finger next to it above and below the knuckle and you need to put gauze or some other material between your fingers to absorb moisture and prevent rubbing. What happens is your finger is splinted to a buddy finger to give it some support without restricting the joint. It provides protection while allowing it to heal. I have a tendon injury to my finger that does not require surgery and this protects it from sideways movement so that it can heal on its own and isn't painful. These splints have been wonderful and unlike the messy tape and gauze I can quickly and easily remove it to wash my hands and shower. The tape and gauze used to get wet and I would have to redo it several times a day which was a real inconvenience. These straps are so easy to put on and remove which I can do on my own with one hand. They allow the joint to still bend which prevents stiffening of the joint and loss of function. They are very comfortable, slightly padded and help my pain. These straps are easily washable/hang to dry and can be used over and over again. This multi pack will last a very long time.I highly recommend these if you do not need to immobilize your finger to prevent bending the joint.

Returned didn't correct my torn tendon problem

Does not work for me. Medium sized female, 5ft 5in, 140lbs. Typical female hand and fingers. They are too wide to fit on knuckles/ joints. When they are cut in half, as suggested, then not enough of strap end is left to stay stuck to the velcro. Straps not long enough to strap securely around index and middle finger. Cannot use.

I was hoping this would be a good fit for replacing athletic tape for my fingers and toes when I go to Jiu Jitsu as I often need to tape up some of them for extra protection.Sadly I think I will still be using athletic tape for now.The fabric is nice and comfortable and does not have the rough texture of hook and loop. This definitely helps since it will be rubbing up against other fingers or toes. You can cut them to size and this helps if you want to use them for toes.The thing that did not work for me was that they have a tendency to slip during training. Where you put these items makes a big difference on how well it stays put. For example if you put it on a knuckle, it will fall off eventually, but if you put it between knuckles, it will hold much better.I realize this is not what this item was designed for, but the fact that they will slip if on a knuckle will happen if I'm training or just wearing it.Overall it's a fine item, but is not a replacement for athletic tape for me.

This is great if you have small hands. Feels very comfy on my smaller fingers, but doesn't work on my middle finger, and is tight on ring and index finger. The loop is just not big enough and the strap not long enough either. There should be a version of this that is larger. When I have the loop on my index or ring finger, the strap barely reaches to engage on the velcro.

OVERALL: I think every ball-sport coach, athlete, or parent (esp. basketball, football, and volleyball) should keep a few of these handy for jammed and sprained fingers. They are washable, reusable, a great price, and WAY more comfortable than tape for immediate and long-term recovery and protection.I'm typing now wearing two of the straps after spraining both pinky and ring fingers. The straps are useful on their own as simply buddy-staps, but I'm using them now in combo with (wrapped over) the individual flexion finger splints. The material is soft and comfortable for all-day and overnight wear. The sticky hook-and-loop stays put and does not fall apart when it gets wet, sweaty, or during casual day-to-day activities. I've worn them to the office, to the beach, and running, but not yet for high-impact sports.SIZE: These buddy finger wraps are sized for adults. I have narrow fingers and can safely say that they'd be too big/loose for most children, but OK for teen athletes, and definitely still comfortable for men with large hands (but probably too small for XL-hands). They're advertised as also useful for toes, but since I can fit 2 toes in the loop, I'm not so sure about using them for any toe other than the largest one.

They look nice but stretch not holding the fingers together.

Cheaply made. Cuts into your finger. Very uncomfortable
