CMCcare Liners and Straps

I am in the final stages of osteoarthritis in my right thumb joint. My current support brace wasn't cutting it anymore and I needed something more firm that I could wear all day. This is a good brace. Cutting my pain by at least 30% which is a big deal for me. I have been unable to do anything without pain for months. I bought extra liners and straps and I'm glad I did. It's not comfortable without the liner, at least for me. I like that I can wear it all day. Even when wearing kitchen gloves. With other support, I had to remove often and they weren't able to get wet. It's a little bit more than I wanted to spend, but I'm glad I did. I would recommend this brace for moderate to severe CMC arthritis.

I have been using the CMC brace for a few years. I find that it has decreased my pain considerably and made it possible to avoid surgery.

These liners have made a huge difference in the comfort of my thumb brace. Thank you for your magnificent invention! I can play golf with a lot less pain now!!!

These have helped me a lot and I appreciate getting them in the mail!the cost was good!

I've bought three sets for both hands. That way I can change them out and wash them but still have a set to wear on both hands. These braces and liners have made a world of difference. I forget I even have them on. The best part is no more pain. I wear them every day. And they don't get in the way. I can even wear gloves in the winter. Thanks for making them available!

I have always found that the large closure tab that came with my brace was too bulky and uncomfortable. It caught on my clothes too. The thinner one is fantastic! The strap lies flatter and looks better, with no problem of it catching on things. Thanks for making the change!

OMA:  Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you are happy with the new tab.

I love the fact that I don't have to replace the whole brace when the velcro wears out and the liners make the brace easy to wear. I wear a brace on each hand. My pain has gone.

I tried several things to make my CMC brace less irritating on my skin with little luck. These liners are perfect! The are only slightly visible (how about a lighter color to go under the gray brace?) and easy to wear. Bought a second set when I needed to wear a brace on my other hand, as well.

It is so nice to have an extra pair of liners so I can wash one pair and wear the other one. I wear the thumb braces on both thumbs every day. Now I don't have pain all the time.

The thumb brace and liners enabled me to play the violin again after not being able to play for months. Great product!

I have both of these and they are great! I love that I was able to buy an extra set of liners to use with the brace. There is no rubbing and the brace fits great. It has definitely made my thumb feel better.

These CMC Care Liners are great. They really make the braces comfortable. I also like that they come in packs of more than 2. But I have to ask, why 5? Why not 6? It's easy to swap them out each day. Anyway, I ended up ordering 2 packages, so now I have 10.

I’ve been using Basco braces for a few years. I really can’t live without them. The initial straps had a heavy connect sure that these replacement straps don’t have But I like these so much better! They are lighter and they stick well and they just don’t seem so bulky! Plus it’s so worth getting some extra straps so you can wash them and still wear a brace.

I play guitar finger style which means my thumb is essential. The CMC brace has made it possible for me to continue playing and making daily life much more pleasant.

Because I have severe arthritis in my dominant left hand, I have to wear this brace daily. Because the brace is expensive, the ability to buy replacement parts is a great benefit. So glad you have this product. Thank you.

I found the brace helpful. After wearing a couple of days, I was able to skip some days because thumb felt much better.

These liners are perfect for relieving the rub if the hard plastic of the brace. I can wear this brace comfortably, and it relieves almost all my thumb pain. Order arrived quickly and in good order.

I find that the brace with the liner are so comfortable that I wear it throughout the day. I ordered the extra liners as it tends to get damp when I wash my hands.

Makes big difference if used on a regular base.

I have worn this brace on my left thumb for 2 years now, mostly at night. It has provided much pain relief as I no longer accidently grab the covers wrong. The soft velcro straps had become after wearing it that much. The replacement straps are easy to insert and the liners (which U didn't get with my original brace) really make it more comfortable to wear.

I asked for sizing details for this product, as I have very small hands, and in response, your company sent me a sample, free of charge. That kind of customer service and kindness is impressive and greatly appreciated!

I have a brace to stabilize my thumb joint (from another provider) that I had been wearing with no liner. I had stuck some pieces of moleskin inside the brace but it only helped a little bit and it made the fit of the brace tighter. Then I ran across these cozy liners on ohmyarthritis. These make my brace so much more comfortable! And I love the fact that there were 5 in a package. I always have a clean liner now to wear in my brace.

OMA: We're delighted to hear the Cozy liner has helped make your brace more comfortable. The 3pp Cozy Liners were specially designed to add an extra layer of cushioning to the CMCcare Thumb Brace, without adding any bulk or changing the fit.

Still wearing the first one while i decide to send them all back. Not at all as described. Dont help at all with comfort. No cushiness at all. Why bother? Wear brace most of day and this doesnt help at all. BTW, too much money for what you get.

OMA: We're sorry to hear you are disappointed with your cozy liners. Our customer service team is available at 1-888-378-7763 or [email protected] to discuss your situation and offer possible alternatives or adjustments.

The extra straps really come in handy especially since i'm in a situation where i need to take my braces off several times a day.so when i need replacing these are spot on.

The cozy liners work so well - I use them when wearing my cmc braces for intensive gardening, so my hands are muddy/wet (in spite of wearing gloves!) much of the time. The liners keep my braces from slipping AND they dry quickly.

The 3pp cozy liners are a must. Without them the cmc support is uncomfortable. My hands are wet frequently and the liners dry fast. I read about a gel liner? I will be looking for them.

The replacement straps are good to have, as the work I do is hot and strenuous. By having replacements in able to wash them out as needed and allow time to dry. It would be nice to have a small mesh bag for throwing them in the wash. The straps need to be a tiny bit wider to prevent the closer from chaffing the back of my hand.

I love the liners for the hands braces. They make the braces so much more comfortable.

Before using the cozy liner my cmc thumb brace irritated my thunb but now it doesn't

This made wearing the CMC brace so much more comfortable. It also stopped sweating under the brace.

I could never adjust my CMCcare thumbe brace to make the brace quit hurting. This fixed that problem, pain free now

Thanks to the thumb brace for my husband, he will be able to continue to work until he has his surgery on his hand at the end of the month. The replacement straps are priceless bc it enables him to continue to use the brace.

This felt great when I first put it on but 3 hours later when I took my gloves off? If you're doing anything strenuous, the liner has a tendency to get damp and "squirm" around under the brace and becomes irritating.

I just received the 3pp cozy liner for my CMCcare Thumb brace ... What a difference this liner makes! I put it on right away with my thumb brace and it makes it so much more comfortable than without it. With this new 3pp cozy liner I will be able to wear my thumb brace for much longer due to the added comfort it gives. Thank you for making this 👍🏼😉 Sincerely, Dolores

I am happy with the replacement straps. I had hope to get a new strap like the one that comes with the original product.

The replacement straps package doesn't include a new black tab. In order for me to have everything new, I was separately sent from the warehouse a new black tab at no charge. I was also given free shipping on the replacement straps. The CMCcare Thumb Brace is working really well for me. I just need to be really careful not to get the strap dirty so the closure will adhere well to the strap.
