Effective wrist brace and excellent customer service
I highly recommend this brace for effectiveness, comfort, and great customer service.I found the brace effective for the initial stages of healing a TFCC injury as well as for returning to intensive athletics. It immobilised my wrist very well in the days after my injury and enabled me to do everyday activities I couldn’t before I received it (e.g. turning doorknobs, holding moderately heavy items). It was also comfortable, as far as good braces can be. After about 6 weeks of wearing it constantly, my wrist healed well enough that I could take it off. When I started climbing again without it, I felt some pain, but when I put the brace back on, the pain was mostly eliminated.I have been impressed by the functionality of the brace but chose to write this review primarily because the customer service was excellent. I reached out via email, and the team was responsive and addressed my issue quickly and politely. Great customer experience.

Really effective but really over priced
If you have a tfcc tear this support really does help ease the pain and allows you more use of your wrist. Also feel like my wrist has started to heal a lot more in the last month compared to very little improvement in the previous 6 months so I can't really complain at its effectiveness, it has really helped BUT as others have said it is really over priced for what is effectively a bit of velcro and microfiber cushioning. You should at least get 2 per pack and that would not seem like as bad a deal. The item itself must cost pennies to produce. It's not like they will have spent millions on R&D, it's a very basic concept. If it was say £10 I would happily buy more in the future if needed but at £25 I feel its just the principle and being over charged doesn't sit right with me. I could probably make my own in the future if I really wanted to

Would recommend
I have suffered from RSI related pain on the thumb side of both wrists for more than 20 years, but about 18 months ago I experienced a really sharp pain on the ulna side of my left wrist (when turning a door handle that I didn't realise had been tightened!!). I strapped it up with one of my many wrist supports I already had and rested it as much as possible. The pain pretty much went away, but a few months later I experienced exactly the same pain (this time from turning he shower knob!!). Out came the variety of wrist supports again for another couple of months. Pain lessened, but never went. Twisted it again on the shower knob a couple of months later!Did some research then about ulna sided pain and came across the wrist widget. (you may ask at this point why I didn't visit my doctor, but that's a long story involving many years of frustration...). Thought I'd give it a try, even though it was a bit priceyWell, at first the pain worsened for a couple of weeks, but then there was a low but noticeable improvement. I wore it 24/7 (either just got it wet in the shower, or wore a plastic bag over my arm. Didn't want to risk the shower knob without it on!!) After a few months I would say the pain had pretty much totally gone.It was at this point I realised I'd actually been wearing the thing the wrong way up for all those months!! The instructions are basic to say the least, and even after watching the videos of how to put it on I has somehow been getting it wrong. I had the harder side against my skin, and the softer side outwards. Ok, I know that seems daft, but it seemed to follow the pictures...I was wearing some "underlay" underneath to stop it scratching too much.So then I started wearing it the right way round, just for security really as the pain was pretty much gone (with the other issues I have with my wrists. it was hard to tell definitively which bit was hurting...). After about 6/7 months I weaned myself off it, and went cold turkey with no strapping. This lasted a glorious couple of months, then some pain came back, not really sure what caused it, thumb or ulna side, so went back to some general strapping.A year on from buying it, I am back wearing it again, but again it is really just for security. Having had 20 years of RSI issues, it kinda feels weird not having strapping on, so I'd rather wear a small inconspicuous thing like this and feel happy. I can report it is still going strong, not too tatty, velcro still holding. Wear it 24/7 EXCEPT in the shower - I am now braving turning the knob very carefully!So although £20 something sounds a lot, I have had my money's worth I think!

Waste of money
Tried this out after being recommended it online for a suspected ECU subsheath tear. This flimsy piece of Velcro did nothing to support my wrist so I've returned it only to not receive a refund, so I feel like I've been robbed out of £23. Avoid and buy an actual wrist splint.

Overpriced but functional
Seems to do the job, but considering how cheap the material is (my girlfriend got a load of cable tidies for pence made out of the same stuff) it seems rather overpriced
