Finger Cots

Hi

Just wondering if anyone here has ever bought the A*F finger cots from Cousins? I've tried various other cheap ones before, but they are usually too tight. The A*F ones come in S,M,L & XL, but it doesn't say what these sizes equate to. I'm interested in getting some, so if anybody can advise on the size of these it would be helpful. Thanks

I have chubby fingers and find Medium a little tight, so will be ordering Large next.

I bought  medium and they work  for my long fairly thin fingers . Size 10-10,5 in normal gloves. But sometimes a large could work better at least for my thumb. The latex finger cots are stretchier then most other cots i tried? 

I stick with medium next time as it is a little work to have to sizes around. Usually only have a finger cots on my index finger when i work on the movement .

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. Interesting that you say they are stretchier than others, could be what I need. What is the diameter on the medium ones, before putting on and stretching? The ones I have at the moment are about 2cm and I find them too tight, particularly on the thumbs.

Rather than throw them out Stephen, use them and cut the thick rubber ring with a pair of scissors when fitted.  This greatly reduces the pressure and will at least allow you to use them.  This is exactly what Inam doing just now to work my way though some tight ones.

Have two types. The natural color is from somewhere on Ebay.  And sits a little to tight. And is not so comfy.  The medium pink one is AF and about as close to 2 cm in diameter as you can get.

Thanks again for the responses. Excellent tip there, as you say no point in wasting what I've already got :). Also interesting to see those finger cots are roughly the same size, but the A*F one fits better.
