Hand Stabilizers Questions

How do I find my size? +

Measure around the widest part of your dominant hand, across the knuckles, not the wrist.

Size S fits 14 to 16.5cm (5.5 to 6.5 inches). Size L fits 16.5 to 19cm (6.5 to 7.5 inches).

If you fall between the two, choose the smaller size. It should sit snugly at the base of the thumb, which is where the support comes from.

Do I get one for each hand? +

Yes. Every order comes as a matched pair, one shaped for your left hand and one for your right, so you receive both. We are not able to split pairs or sell two of the same side.

How do I put it on, and how long should I wear it? +

Slide your hand in like a fingerless glove, with the firmer contoured part sitting snugly across the base of your thumb where it meets the wrist. Your four fingers stay free to knit, work a hook, or hold a cup of tea. For the first few sessions, wear it for 15 to 30 minutes so your hand settles into it. After that, wear it for as long as you are comfortable.

How do I wash it? +

Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, then lay it flat to dry in the shade, out of direct sunlight. Please skip the tumble dryer and do not use bleach.

What is your guarantee and returns policy? +

Every order is covered by our 60 day money back guarantee with free returns. That gives you plenty of time to wear it through a few sessions and see how it suits your hands. If it is not right for you, write to us and we will sort it out.

How do you ship, and what will I pay? +

Orders are usually dispatched within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within about 5 to 7 business days after that, depending on where you are.

We ship internationally. Your price shows in your local currency, and all shipping costs and totals appear at checkout before you pay, with no hidden fees.

A tracking link follows by email once your order is on its way.

What payment methods can I use? +

You can pay by debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), or with PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. You do not need a PayPal account to order.

Hand Stabilizers:

Honest answers to the questions we get most

What is it made of? I have allergies and sensitive skin. +

 It is made from a blend of synthetic materials: polyester fibre, nylon, spandex, and a foam insert. It is latex free and contains no wool, no lanolin, and no mammalian derived fibres, so it suits those with an alpha gal allergy. If your skin reacts to polyester or spandex specifically, please know they are present before you order.

Will it help with arthritis at the base of the thumb, De Quervain's, or trigger thumb? +

It is shaped to support the areas most affected by these. It runs along the thumb side of the wrist and cradles the base joint at the inner palm, and it supports thumb movement where catching sensations like trigger thumb are felt.

It is a daily support to wear during activity, not a medical device or a cure, so if you have a complex hand history we would always suggest a word with your hand specialist first.

Many customers came to us after rigid splints and compression gloves did not suit them, and found this a gentler, more comfortable support.

Heated Gloves:

Honest answers to the questions we get most

I have poor circulation / Raynaud's / arthritis. Will these work? +

They're made for you.

Three heat settings let you adjust to exactly what your hands need, whether you're out for errands or relaxing outdoors.

Do I need a smartphone to use these gloves? +

Nope! No smartphone needed at all.

Our gloves are completely standalone — no apps, no Bluetooth, no phone connection required.

I've tried heated gloves before. They died after 20 minutes. Why are yours different? +

Ours don't.

8+ hours on a single charge, guaranteed*. If they don't last all day, send them back for a full refund.

*on the lowest heat setting.

Are they waterproof? +

Our gloves are showerproof and snow-proof — light rain, snow, and damp conditions are no problem.

However, because they contain lithium batteries, we don't recommend submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain for extended periods.

For everyday use — dog walks, errands, gardening, shovelling snow — they'll keep your hands warm and dry.

What if they don't work for me? +

60-day guarantee. Wear them, test them. If your hands are still cold, full refund. No questions.

Are the gloves touchscreen compatible? +

Yes — the fingertips work with smartphones and tablets. No need to take them off to answer a call or check a message.

Will these actually warm my fingertips? +

Yes. Our heating elements run through each finger—not just the palm. Warmth goes directly where you need it most.

Can I actually use my hands while wearing these? +

Absolutely. Grip a steering wheel, hold a coffee, use your phone. These are built for daily life, not just ski slopes.

Can I use these for running? +

Yes — our gloves can be used for running.

They're great for cold morning runs when you need warmth but still want to use your hands (adjusting your watch, holding your phone, etc.).

That said, if you run hot and only need gloves for the first 10 minutes, you may find them warmer than you need once you're moving. They're best for runners who struggle with cold hands throughout their run.

Can I use these for cycling? +

Honestly? It depends.

Our gloves are flexible enough to grip handlebars, and customers tell us they can hold a steering wheel and coffee cup without issues.

However, they're not specifically designed for cycling. For precise brake and gear control, they may not feel as nimble as thin cycling gloves.

Our suggestion: Try them with our 6-month money-back guarantee. Take them on a short ride — if they don't work for brakes and gears, send them back for a full refund. No hassle.

Heated Products: Battery & Specs

Batteries, charging, and heat settings

Do they come with batteries? +

Do they come with batteries?

Yes! Everything you need is included in the box:

  • 2 rechargeable 4000 mAh batteries (one for each glove)
  • Wall charger
  • Your gloves, ready to go

Just charge, slide the batteries in, and press the button. No extra purchases needed.

What sizes are the batteries? +

Each glove uses a compact rechargeable lithium-ion battery — small enough to slip into a pocket inside the glove without adding bulk.

Battery specs:

  • Power: 4000mAh
  • Size: About the size of a small phone power bank — fits comfortably in your palm

They're lightweight, rechargeable via the included wall charger, and designed to keep the gloves slim and comfortable while still delivering longlasting heat.

Are the gloves rechargeable? +

Yes! The gloves come with two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (one for each glove) and a wall charger included.

Just plug them in, wait a few hours, and they're ready to go again. No need to keep buying disposable batteries — one charge gives you up to 8 hours of warmth.

What temperature do the gloves reach? +

The gloves have three heat settings you can switch between with one button:

  • Low: 45°C (113°F)
  • Medium: 55°C (131°F)
  • High: 65°C (149°F)

Most customers find low or medium is plenty for everyday use — walking the dog, errands, gardening. High heat is there for extra cold days or when you need to warm up fast.

The higher the setting, the more battery you'll use — so many people start on high to warm up, then switch to low to keep warm all day.

How quickly do the gloves heat up? +

Within seconds. You'll feel warmth almost immediately — no waiting around in the cold.

What exactly gets heated? +

The heating elements run all the way to your fingertips — not just the palm like cheaper gloves. That's the key difference for people with circulation issues.

How long does it take to charge the batteries? +

Around 3-4 hours for a full charge.

About the Company

Why are you called Hand Hearth? I thought it was a typo for Hand Health. +

You are not the first to read it twice, but it is intentional. A hearth is the warm center of a home, the place people gather.

For people who knit and craft, the hands are where comfort and making things live. Hand Hearth is a small warmth for hands that have been working a bit too hard.

Yes. We are a small business with a small team, and we read and answer every message ourselves.

If anything feels unclear, write to us and a real person will reply.

Where are you based, and where does it ship from? +

We are a small American brand that ships from partner warehouses in several countries including the UK, Canada, and Australia, so most orders travel a shorter distance to reach you. Your shipping cost and delivery estimate show at checkout before you pay.

How do I reach you? +

Just write to us. A real person on our small team will get back to you, whether it is about sizing, your order, or whether the support is right for your hands.
