Essentials to Keep You Cool This Summer

Summer’s here—and while sunshine brings joy, for those of us living with chronic joint pain, staying cool and comfortable takes a little extra care. Whether you’re managing arthritis flares or just trying to keep your energy up through the heat, these gentle summer essentials will help you stay refreshed, supported, and feeling your best.

Here are a few of our favorite cooling companions:

1. Cold Therapy Compression Sleeve by Grace & Able

Soothing comfort for thumb and wrist pain

Joint pain and summer heat don’t mix—but our Cold Therapy Compression Sleeve offers cooling, gentle relief when you need it most. Designed by a hand therapist, this soft, stretchy sleeve delivers targeted cold therapy with a thick gel pad that cushions and supports your thumb and wrist.

Pop it in the freezer before use to reduce swelling and inflammation from arthritis, carpal tunnel, or trigger thumb. Whether you're crafting, working, or just trying to rest, this reusable sleeve offers comfort you can count on.

Pro tip: Chill it for 1–2 hours, then slip it on for soothing, instant relief.

2. Townie Lilac Rose Quartz by OESH

The dress flat reimagined—with science and style

Say hello to one of the most thoughtful shoes ever made: the Townie Lilac Rose Quartz by OESH. Made entirely in Virginia, this breathable, stretchy cotton flat is designed using 3D printed honeycomb soles inspired by women’s movement research.

It’s not just beautiful—it’s functional, secure, and incredibly comfortable, especially if your joints are feeling sensitive or swollen. Bonus: it's washable, handcrafted, and made on demand.

Perfect for staying active, supported, and stylish—all summer long.

 

3. Wide-Brimmed Hat

Your first line of defense against the sun

A wide-brimmed hat isn’t just a fashion statement—it’s a must-have for protecting your skin and keeping your body temperature regulated. Choose one made from breathable fabric, with a soft inner lining that won’t irritate sensitive skin.

Slip it on before heading outside and enjoy the shade wherever you go.

 

4. Insulated Tumbler

Stay hydrated, stay strong

When you're living with chronic pain, hydration makes a world of difference. An insulated tumbler keeps your water (or herbal tea) cold all day long, even under the summer sun.

Look for one with a straw or easy-open lid—your joints will thank you.

 

5. Hand-Held Fan

A little breeze goes a long way

Lightweight and portable, a hand-held fan can be a game-changer when you’re running errands, riding in a warm car, or dealing with a mid-day flare. Choose one that's rechargeable and quiet, so you can cool down without disruption.

 

6. Sunglasses

Comfort for your eyes—and your head

Bright sun can be draining, especially if you're prone to migraines or fatigue. A lightweight, UV-blocking pair of sunglasses helps protect your eyes and reduce strain. Bonus points if they fit comfortably at the temples and bridge—no pinching or pressure, please!

Perfect for driving, walking, or just relaxing with less glare and more ease.

 

Final Thoughts


Summer doesn’t have to mean discomfort. With the right tools in your bag—from cooling compression to breathable flats—you can enjoy everything the season has to offer while taking care of your body.

Stay cool, stay gentle, and remember: your comfort matters.
