Troubleshooting

Finger guard feels too tight or too loose

Try the guard on a different finger, as finger sizes vary. These are Size 2, so if they are consistently uncomfortable, they may not be the right size for your needs.

Guard slips off during use

Ensure the finger is clean and dry before placing the guard. If it continues to slip, consider a slightly smaller size if available or a different type of finger protection.

Plastic feels uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If the material itself is the issue, consider alternative finger protection materials. This model is made of flexible plastic.
