   Hi Jen,
   You're a tough call! Normally we tell people right on the line to go with the bigger size. But since you are probably done growing, and you tell me you have tiny wrists, I'm gonna say go with the small!

4. Sand or waterproof?

   Posted by Emma on 6th May 2012

   I am a cheerleader for my school and I recently suffered a severe wrist fracture from tumbling. Generally I tumble on mats that aren't springy, but they are of similar texture to a gymnastics floor. I like the look of the Sand color because it matches my skin, but I am not sure if the Waterproof one would be better for tumbling. Which one would be more effective in this kind of environment?

   I think you will be fine with the sand Paws Emma. The waterproof Paw is nice for outdoor use, and has more abrasion resistance, but with a smooth indoor surface, the sand ought to work for you. Support is the same for both!

6. What does the exchange credit cover?

   Posted by Unknown on 2nd May 2012

   I was just wondering what the exactly the exchange credit covers? Will it cover me shipping it back to you and you sending out new ones? Is ok to exchange paws that have been tried on but not used yet?

8. Sizes?!?!?!?

   Posted by Missy Flips on 30th Apr 2012

   Hi,
   I am 13 gymnast and am 5'4" and I weigh 110 pounds. Do you think the small or medium would be the best for me? I don't really want to find out the straps dont reach or they don't fit and have to pay extra to exchange them so I want to get it right first try.
   P.S My friend has some and they are small and the straps don't reach on me but I think they are another brand, here in Australia we call them panda paws and hers don't have the tiger paw logo so I think they are made by a different company
   Thanks :)

   Hi Missy Flips,
   I'd stay with the small. If you were right at the cutoff of 115 lbs, I'd say go medium, but the small should work for you just fine. There is a lot of overlap between sizes, the strap length won't be a problem for you.

9. Question-how to wear

   Posted by Elisa on 28th Apr 2012

   Hi,
   This seems like a silly question but how are these paws worn? My friend at gym has them and she wears them so the part with the Velcro and the pocket for the foam and plastic inserts is on the palm of her hand. Is that correct and how do they offer the most support?
   P.S This is for gymnastics if that makes any difference
   Thanks,
   Elisa

   Hi Elisa,
   Your friend is wearing them backwards! We've heard of this before, but she's not getting the support she should wearing them this way. The pocket with the foam and plastic insert should be on the back of the hand. This provides the most support when flexing the hand backwards, which is what the Paws are designed for.

10. Relief from wrist pain for my daughter!

    Posted by Mama Deb on 26th Apr 2012

    After several sessions of aggressive massage therapy and lots of icing, my daughter's wrists still felt like they were gonna "snap" after any kind of tumbling in gymnastics. She tried a friend's Tiger Paws at practice and was pain free. Ordered a pair for my daughter that night and received them in three days, in time for her next competition, which she did great at!! Great product!!! Do not need to pursue physical therapy now! Pain is gone!

    HI Mama Deb!
    
    That's great news! It's common for us to hear stories like this, amazing what a little wrist support can do isn't it? So great that your daughter can enjoy her gymnastics now. :-)
