thanks for the website info. i'll have to check them out, but you know what really bothers me....thimbles are like jeans, you really need to try them on!! even in the store it's usually impossible to do so also because of the way that they seal them in packages. so, i've been a little leery lately about buying a thimble that i can't try on--that's why those pads are wonderful-one size fits all!!
