While many joint support products are unisex, there are also many that are designed for a specific gender, and that is exactly what we have here with the Wellgate PerfectFit Wrist Brace For Women.
Not only is it designed for a specific gender but also for a specific wrist, which in this case is the right wrist.
Wellgate PerfectFit Wrist Brace For Women
With Wellgate we have a brand that produces products that are specifically designed for women, and that means they are made to suit the contours of women’s bodies and also take greater account of the differences in size between males and females.
This specific product is a wrist brace, designed for use on the right wrist. Don’t worry lefties, they have the same brace in a version for left wrists too.
Wellgate’s range includes joint braces not only for wrists but also knees and ankles too.
Their support products are recommended by an NYC physical therapist and given the huge number of positive reviews these products have received, including the wrist brace, they seem to be extremely popular with those who use them.
Who is This Product For?
With their full brand name being “Wellgate for Women” the most obvious thing to say about this wrist brace is that it is for females. While this specific one is for right-handed women, there is also a left-handed option too.
In terms of the support the brace provides, there are two stabilizers which means that it can be used for wrist conditions that go beyond mild strains. Those with conditions such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome should also find relief when they wear this wrist brace.
Beyond these, any female who feels their wrist needs additional support due to excessive use, or due to soreness will benefit from wearing this Wellgate wrist brace.
What’s Included?
As with virtually all joint support products, the only item included inside the packaging is your Wellgate wrist brace.
Overview of Features
We’ve already mentioned that this wrist brace is for women, so it should fit better, and feel more comfortable, than most unisex wrist braces, as it has been designed especially for the shape of women’s wrists.
In terms of its use, it is extremely easy to put on, and once you have adjusted it so it fits perfectly, it can be worn throughout the day and the night.
Its design also allows you to use that hand assuming none of the tasks you plan to use it for will add any additional strain on to your wrist.
Soft materials and memory foam ensure that the wrist brace should feel comfortable at all times, and this comfort is further enhanced by the breathable nature of the materials preventing your wrist from feeling too warm.
The light color does mean the wrist brace can become grubby rather easily, however, it can be hand washed whenever needed, with mild soap and cold water.
How to Use It
The procedure to wear the wrist brace is the same whether you are using it on your left or your right hand.
First, slide your hand into the wrist brace ensuring that the mesh part is on the back of your hand and facing you. Next, place your thumb through the thumb hole.
Finally, tighten the straps so that the wrist brace is held securely around your wrist, but also feeling comfortable as well.
You can wear this brace throughout the day, and also at night when you are sleeping, although you may want to take it off occasionally if you feel your wrists are too warm and want to get some air around them.
Finally, in terms of looking after your wrist brace, it can be hand washed in cold water with a little bit of mild soap and then allowed to air dry.

Alternative
We often hear from those frustrated with a right or left brace, as they want one to wear occasionally on either hand, so they then have to purchase a second brace.
One option that solves that problem is a product like the Vive Dual Wrist Brace which has a reversible design so it can be worn on either the left or the right wrist.
It is particularly suitable for those with carpal tunnel and other wrist conditions such as tendonitis, arthritis, and sports injuries. It is can be worn by adults, children, and all genders.
Conclusion
This is a wrist brace that lots of women have already purchased, and it is easy to see why it has been a bestseller and a top-rated product since its launch. It offers excellent support for a number of wrist injuries and conditions with the added advantage of being extremely comfortable.
