HOW TO PLACE YOUR HAND IN THE STRAP?
Our straps are designed for continued contact with the hand (no fold). The contact surface is:
If your strap has a fold over your hand, it is twisted. In this case, take the time to untwist it to enjoy maximum comfort.
For velcro straps: if you remove the strap from the plastic buckle, make sure you put it back the same way (without twisting it). Otherwise the strap will have fold on your hand.

It is very easy to adjust a strap with velcro: open the velcro and reposition it at the desired length. Check that the 2 velcro strips are positioned one over the other (laterally) to avoid the velcro touching and irritating your skin.
