3-Point Products 3pp Buddy Loops for Jammed and Broken Fingers (1/2" Wide (Pack of 5))

These are the perfect solution to buddy-taping fingers. They go on and off easily and provide plenty of support yet are stretchy enough to not feel overly restrictive. They are soft and comfortable, even for wearing all day and night. Plus, you can put them on in different ways depending on whether you want space or padding between your fingers or not. I bought a multi-pack and when they got dirty or sweaty I put on another pair. I also carried some spares with me. They are washable but they do get beat up. I wore these for several months and a 25 pack was just about right.If you read another review and are tempted to feel guilty for spending money on this ingenious product, think about this... You are probably reading this because you have broken fingers, right? Who wants to mess around on a DIY sewing project with broken fingers? Not me. Plus, these are not made out of the scratchy stiff velcro you'd buy at the fabric store. It's has medical grade comfortable neoprene backing, with a soft cushy texture. Don't waste your time on a hobby project with crappy materials, just buy these and focus on healing instead.

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!Let's not get overly complex or critical here. If you're looking at these it's because you are wanting stabilization for finger issues. They do the job very well and are comfortable. I like to wear them a particular way to maximize comfort so that the strap is in just the right position but after a few uses, they are easy to put on and off. They do tend to stretch a bit but that is expected, you can just tighten them a bit more using the velcro.These are great little devices for stabilization, especially considering the price.

I purchased the 1/2 inch loops as they are the exact same ones given to me by my physical therapist who happened to run out of them. They are soft, comfortable, slightly stretchy and the Velcro holds unlike the other brand of buddy loops I mistakenly ordered. I’m so happy I was able to find these.

Works as expected. Fast delivery. Easier to find here than at the store. These are great for sports sprains and help to keep you playing.Product: 3-Point Products 3pp Buddy Loops for Jammed and Broken Fingers 1/2", Black (Package of 5)

After injuring several fingers and going to consult an orthopedist, I was told to tape or wear a finger strap to hold 2 fingers together for 8 weeks. I tried the strap from a finger injury kit and several different types of tapes before finally ordering the Buddy Loops. I love them! they are comfortable, easy to use, durable and come out of the washing machine looking clean and new. So glad I bought them!

I had a tendon slip off my index finer knuckle and the hand surgeon recommended buddy taping the index finger to the middle finger, as my index finger would not elevate upwards past horizontal. I was using kinesiology tape but with hand washing and all, it was difficult. The I saw these. They are great and comfortable. I take them off for hand washing, if they do get wet, I blot them dry and keep a dry back up and switch. The foam is comfortable, but does wear out in about a week. Seems to work better putting one finger in the loop then wrapping the "tail" of the loop around the second finger.

I was recommended these as an alternative to using plain old medical tape, and in that sense they've been a success. Instead of using up 30 or so days-worth of tape, I used up 5 of these bands.However, by the end of those 30 days the plastic part that attaches to the velcro was sticking out on all of the bands. Why is that a problem?Well, you have these things wrapped around your fingers, so if a hard plastic part sticks out, it constantly colides with whatever your hand passes. Plus, if you're like me you'll find yourself constantly trying to press them flat, which makes for a new (annoying) habit.In terms of enviornmental impact I'm honestly not sure which is worse: using these or using 30 days of tape. But either way, don't buy these expecting them to last longer than that: they're too cheaply made.P.S. Also the actual bands themselves sort of shrink in places after use. So you wind up with bands that hug a bit too tightly (at the parts that shrink).

My daughter dislocated her finger playing volleyball, and after getting it reset, the hand specialist suggested using this wrap to keep her finger stabilized until he could assess whether surgery would actually be needed. Definitely easier to use than trying to tape two fingers together.

Very useful for finger stiffness

Great product! My son has been using these for several months while practicing and playing basketball. They work way better then taping the fingers together!
