Is this brace comfortable to wear on bare skin? Is it washable as well?

I don't care of this one when I bought it because the size I couldn't fit well. One size for men and women but women's hip are different besides it is too heavy for me.

I wore the brace on bare skin only once, because I forgot to wear an under shirt. It was not comfortable, and kept moving out of place. I usually wear it over a this cotton shirt. I haven't had to wash it yet, but my friend has had his longer and washes it when needed.

I always wear it on my bare skin. If I use it at work, then I try to sneak away during lunch and remove the brace for a few minutes. It does get a little sweaty and uncomfortable, but for the most part it's great. It provides me with the support I need and improves my posture. I haven't tried washing it, my only concern would be rusting the metal springs.

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

haven't ever washed it but it looks like it would be OK. It is comfortable to wear on bare skin but it does get a little sweaty. Otherwise it is a great product.

I usually wear an undershirt with the brace over it and I have never washed it.

Hi I always have a t-shirt on with this brace,i move lots of furniture and it gives me the support I need. You can hand wash it only with a mild detergent,then air dry. Hope this helps

I have not tried it without the braces. Its basic use is to protect mouth areas from brace wires and brackets that are causing pain. It starts out soft, then rubberizes a bit. I stick it into the brace to hold it in place. Its a bit like keeping a piece of gum in your mouth. Therefore, It should be used in a non visible place. Unfortunately, front bottom teeth are not an ideal spot.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

I would say yes. I mostly wear mine to work. I'm a CNA so at work I'm on my feet with lots of getting up and down and lifting. I'm not a runner, but it's a really nice brace

There's an adjustable vel-cro snap that keeps it secure. However after wearing it a few times it does stretch a little until you wash it. Very soft material, so it doesn't rub your skin.

First, I place it next to my skin and wear all clothing over it. I strap it fairly tight and at a bit of an angle (so that it's a bit tighter at the top). I can sweat in this and even ride my horse wearing this and have never even had it shift. Perhaps my particular leg shape works well with this brace, but I love it.

You put the main part if the brace on and adjust with Velcro. Then there is another set of elastic bands that you pull over this for more support and it also attaches with Velcro. It provides great support that you can adjust to your comfort.

Sorry I cannot give an honest answer since I have only worn it for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I can say it is more supportive and more comfortable than my DonJoy brace that is similar.

No, it is not. The washing instructions are as follows: Remove metal splint from inside of brace and close all fasteners prior to washing. Hand wash with mild soap in warm (not hot) water. Rinse well and air dry.DO NOT: machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use bleach or fabric softeners.http://www.futuro-usa.com/3M/en_US/Futuro/Products/~/FUTURO-Night-Wrist-Sleep-Support?N=4318+3294508029+3294529207&rt;=rud

You don't need to step into this product. There is a simple velcro fastener. The additional straps are to tighten the brace. I have found the brace to be comfortable, but a little warm after a few hours. However, it is cooler than other braces I have worn.

I had a wrist sprain from a fall. I tried sleeping without the brace on, but I would usually bend my wrist in my sleep and wake up in pain. I did wear it a little looser for sleep, though. The brace needed to be laundered after about 10 days of summer wear. I put it in a mesh bag and washed it in my machine in warm. It air dried quickly. I feel that the brace really helped me be more functional while I waited the six weeks it took for the sprain to heal.

The answer is quite simple. If you keep the brace on it traps fluids which produces rashes bacterial fungal . The preventive measures consist of periodically opening the brace to drying it out . Using baby powder & or antiperspirant is helpful in keeping the brace & producing less skin irritation

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.

Hey there. I'm wearing it right now actually. I'm another customer. Its plastic, FYI... But yes over clothes and skin is fin. Its pretty comfortable. Its all very adjustable. I recommend this brace. Charlie

Honestly this brace is very flexible and not really stiff at all. It's something more for casual every day wear, it's not something I'd work out in because the stability it offers is very minimal. If you don't get it tight enough the brace slips down your knee, it's great for walking or jobs where you're on your feet a lot like I am, but not great for exercise or any real intense level of activities.
