Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
These thumb picks are praised for quality and value, ideal for fingerpicking. Customers said they are "excellent" and "practical." However, sizing runs small - even the medium size is tight for average fingers. Some find them fragile. A helpful tip: soak in hot water to soften and adjust fit. Overall good product at an affordable price.

Is the tab too tight? It's okay, put it in hot water to soften it and adjust it to your thumb!

Classic size (“m”) and yet it's already too tight when I have quite thin fingers! Otherwise good and solid product.
