There are three gauges and I keep all three around, just in case a song pops up that could use one. I don't usually use just a thumb pick. Sometimes, though, a mixture of fingerpicking and strumming or flatpicking is best for the song and I use one of these. I recommend the light for banjo, medium for guitar strumming, maybe the heavy for more technical flatpicking.
The big feature is the ease with which you can change from one style to another. It's seamless and effortless.
I find these things comfortable and they stay in place without being tight. For anyone who finds that they slip out of place, maybe you have a thin thumb, I would suggest using a small strip of medical tape, which is what I always do with the Bumblebee.

Love this pick. I'm not great with picks as my fingers have become less nimble, and liked the idea of being able to switch easily from pick to fingerpicking. This is really comfortable and pleasing to use. Wish I'd discovered it years ago.

Allows me to " play " again. I'm a 79year old with osteo arthritis who couldn't hold a pick. Really comfortable to wear after " tweaking ' thumb clip in hot water.

Love this thumbpick. The one with the extra strong spring suits me. Probably will go for thicker pick when I’m more proficient.

I love the principle and precise location with this thumb pick. Hpowever the original model was too stiff, then I got a medium one. This one is too thin si in future I would go for the medium one. It gives me adequately smooth chords but good definition when playing runs on the bass strings.
