Here are a few practical tips to measure your fingers:
-
Always measure your fingers at the end of the day, when they’re the largest.
-
If you’re hesitating between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.
-
It’s possible that your fingers may shrink by up to a size in cold temperatures.
-
Two things may cause your fingers to swell: Salt, and alcohol. For best results, don’t take your measurements after consuming salty foods or alcoholic beverages.
