Product is great, but priced too high compared to other websites.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013

The Thermal Thimbles work great. No more finger burns. However, after ordering the package of 3, I found packages of 6 on several non-Amazon websites for quite a bit less including shipping. The product is great, the pricing not so much. I will definitely look at non-Amazon sites before I order from now on.

Where have these thimbles been all my life?

Great protection for 3 fingers when ironing something while holding it down (think hems, etc). They don't offer total immunity to heat so I would not touch them with a hot iron, but they give enough protection to hold the fabric in place while the point of the iron is very close.

in terms of sizing, I wear women's glove size 8-8 1/2 and two of the fingers fit perfectly and one is slightly tight but wearable.

I am immediately ordering another set!

Good for brief insulation

One of the finger fits great while the other two are a little too big. They are good for brief insulation from heat but if you are really close to the iron (for pressing) for more than a few seconds they do get pretty hot. Not bad for the price.

Thick enough to protect fingers, thin enough to feel the project

I loved these thimbles, they did a fabulous job protecting my fingertips while ironing tiny mask seams. I could still feel the fabric, and some of the heat, but not enough heat to burn. My cats liked them also, and eat parts of all the thimbles..... I will be ordering more and hiding them better. ;)

Excellent for hand embroidery

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012

I do a lot of hand embroidery, I have a habit of poking the side of my middle finger with the eye of the needle when I am working on an intense piece of work or I have a deadline so am stitching for several hours at a time over a few days. It always seems that once I poke that spot on my middle finger I keep re-poking it and stitching becomes quite painful.

I don't like thimbles in general, but I will use one once I poke the finger. :-) I've never found one that doesn't drive me crazy until I tried these thermal thimbles. I've worked on two intense projects since buying these thimbles and as soon as I poke the finger I put one of these thimbles on and I haven't yet had a problem with the finger getting sore and infected. I haven't had the eye of the needle pierce the thimble material, either. I get used to these thimbles fairly quickly especially considering the painful alternative. They don't impede my stitching.

I still don't use a thimble until I have to, but these have made my stitching life so much easier. I highly recommend them.

Nice protection

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018

I purchased these as thumb protectors while working with a buffer and sander. My poor thumb nail was getting buffed off. It works perfectly. You have a lot of dexterity and your thumb is protected. It gives you three sizes and the large fits my thumb perfectly. Too bad they don't sell them separately. So glad I found these.

I think small and medium hands will be very happy with these

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2015

I really wasn't expecting much from these but they turned out to be quite effective against the heat. I use them to handle hot glue with my fingers. I just couldn't stand the burns and blisters anymore. I wasn't expecting them to work as well as they do. You feel warmth through them but not heat. The 3 sizes worked well for me. My fingers are small so I used the smallest on my index finger and the medium on my thumb. The larger one intended for most thumbs was too big for me. I think small and medium hands will be very happy with these. Large hands might find they fit a little snug but if you're not working for hours on end, it should do the job.

Saves My Fingers!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I wish I had come across these years ago! These are wonderful at protecting my fingers when I need to iron something while holding it down. These thimbles aren't completely immune to heat of course, but are protective enough that I haven't come close to sacrificing my fingers. The only thing that I don't like about them is that they are HUGE. I expected this, as I have very small hands and very skinny fingers, but they're large enough to fall off if I'm not paying close enough attention. That said, the large size makes them easy to slip on and off. Overall, I'm very pleased!!
