Will this relieve pressure on the lower thumb joints (CMC joints)?

Thank you for your question. And, yes, the Wrist Buddy yoga blocks promote a more neutral position for the wrist, hand, thumb, and finger joints, including the C-MC joints. This block design has been shown to shift pressure from the wrist and C-MC joints to the larger surface area of the palm. I hope you enjoy the benefits of this design upgrade for a long time and continue to make progress in your yoga practice.

Can you tell me what country they're manufactured in?

Ashley, Thank you for your question. After a thorough, but failed, search for a US firm, our manufacturing was done in China. This decision allowed us to obtain a high-quality product at a favorable consumer price, keeping in mind that creating a contoured block is much more complex than creating a flat, rectangular block. I hope you get a chance to put your hands on these blocks and experience the difference. Respectfully, The Wrist Buddy Team

I found these unstable and painful in downward facing dog and I’ve tried several adjustments. How is anyone having success with downward dog?

As I don’t know the physical challenges you may have, I will only speak for myself. I would do downward facing dog with the lower level of the wrist buddy and at that level, I don’t experience any instability and the wrist buddy is certainly more supportive than a regular block and less stressful than the floor. That said, I personally would not use the wrist buddy for downward facing dog simply because I can do this posture without them. This may simply come down to what works for one person does not work for another. I suspect that you have physical issues which just don’t make these blocks the right choice for you.

Is it formamide free?

After checking, I have found that formamide is not present in Wrist Buddy yoga blocks because they must have a higher density and hardness to support the user's full or partial body weight. Formamide is used in play mats and foam toys to make those items have a purposely low density with a softer, squishier feel.
