I purchased these once I started to get painful swelling from pregnancy. My fingers would be rock hard and fat like sausages. I work at a therapy office and asked them what they suggested so they said fingerless isotoner gloves. I have small hands and ordered them in a small they fit great and work great too. I wear these gloves to work and my hands and fingers no longer hurt all day. The swelling as not reduced without them on but at least I don't have to be in pain while I type at work. My only con is that they don't come in another color. I really wish I could get them in black or gray because this beige color is ugly but the benefits are worth it.
