What you’ll need:
- A flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.
- A ruler or a measuring tape with inches or centimeters.
Step 1: Prepare the Measuring Tape or String
If you have a flexible measuring tape, simply unroll it and ensure it’s ready to use. If you don’t have one, a piece of string or even a strip of paper will do the job.
Step 2: Wrap the Measuring Tape/String Around your Wrist
Start by wrapping the measuring tape or string around your wrist just below the knobby bone on the side of your wrist. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight. If you’re using string or paper, mark where it overlaps and hold it steady.
Step 3: Measure the Length
If you’re using a measuring tape, simply read the measurement in inches or centimeters. If you’re using string or paper, measure the marked section with a ruler or measuring tape.
Step 4: Determine Your Wrist Size
Now that you have the measurement, you need to determine your wrist size. Use the following guidelines:
- Small wrist size: Less than 6 inches (15 cm)
- Average wrist size: 6-7 inches (15-18 cm)
- Large wrist size: Over 7 inches (18 cm)
Tips for Measuring Your Wrist
- Measure your wrist size in the afternoon or evening when your wrist is at its largest.
- Always measure the same wrist that you plan to wear the accessory on.
- If your measurement falls between two size ranges, consider personal preference. Some people prefer a snug fit, while others prefer a looser fit.
