Parasilk Paraffin Wax Therapy Treatment Glove Medium | Made in the USA

I am going to use this product often!

Super messy. Doesn't leave my hands as soft as a salon paraffin wax

These are a good gloves that work well but they truly are very messy

-These make such a mess. Ends don’t seal well enough to lock in the oil and wax. Almost impossible to close second glove when your first hand is already in a cumbersome mitt. These aren’t the thin gloves they use at nail salons. MAYBE if you had another person to pull them super tight around your wrists. Got oil on dress and sofa.-When I heated them the recommended time, the wax wasn’t melted nearly enough. Did 30 more seconds as recommended, and the plastic on two of the fingers melted together so I couldn’t use those holes (without risking poking a hole in the outer glove with my nails)-And they NEVER solidified on hands. Kept them on 30 minutes or more. They were still liquid (mostly oil) when I took off.Just a waste of money in my opinion.

While noting some of the flaws listed below (particularly the insufficient heating instruction, I had to heat much longer than they indicate, will adjust on next use), I was in terrible pain yesterday and could use my left hand very little. I thought, why not try it? I got some relief last night and woke up with pain 90% relieved. What works for one person may not for another, but it has been effective for me. I like that the gloves come loaded. It looks like a lot of work and mess to break up the paraffin for one of those machines and load the gloves, yada yada. So for me this is a good treatment method and the pain relief ie, well, if you have chronic pain, you know what relief is worth without drugs.

Hard to do on your own. Super messy and the amount of oil left after treatment was so much I had to wipe off a lot of excess because it was dripping everywhere.

These gloves have multiple purposes. If you are hard on your hands or just need help after too much dish washing or dry winter air, they make them nice and soft. I also sent them to someone with rheumatoid arthritis. It's a great design and much more sanitary than using a communal paraffin pot. I like that you can use them multiple times too!

When you first warm these up, do it in stages, unrolling the gloves as you go. While the top appears sealed, its more of a 'tamper-evident'. For reheating, place upright in a bowl so the contents don't leak. Other than needing better heating instructions, the product itself is great. I like that the plastic has a heat indicator showing when the wax is too hot to put your hands in.
