Chronic Illness on Sidechat | Fellow wheelchair users, how do you deal with gloves rubbing your wrists raw? My wrists are really slim so I have to tighten them really tight to prevent them from pulling off when I stop. I was thinking bandages but will that reduce mobility?

Not a wheelchair user but I’ve dealt with something similar from a job, get some tight athletic ankle socks, cut off the foot part and keep the tighter long ankle part to wear between your wrist/forearm and the glove

Do you mean a quarter sock? Ankle socks don’t really have any ankle part. Like a sweat band from the 70s? Does that rub too?

Like quarter or crew, long enough to go a bit past your wrist. Sweat bands don’t rlly work the same way, part of what that section of the sock is designed for is to reduce chafing from the edge of shoes on the back of the heel/ankle
