How to measure your wrist for a medical ID bracelet

A good fit keeps your ID where responders can see it and comfortable enough to wear every day. It takes one minute with a string or a strip of paper.

Measure your wrist

Wrap a piece of string, a phone charger cable or a strip of paper around your wrist, just above the wrist bone, where you'd wear the bracelet.
Mark where the end meets. Keep it snug, not tight.
Measure the length with a ruler or tape measure (or use the printable ruler below).
Add comfort: add about ½ inch for a snug fit or ¾ to 1 inch for a looser fit. That total is your bracelet length.

Most of our bracelets are adjustable. Check each product's details for its exact range; for example, our mesh bracelet adjusts from 6 to 8 inches.

Slide or clasp to your size. Great if you're between sizes or share the bracelet with family.

No clasp to open, easy to put on with one hand. Good for kids and anyone with limited hand movement.

Comfortable for sleep, sweat and water. Choose a snug fit so it doesn't slide over your hand.

Open on one side and bend gently to your wrist. Measure and go for a comfort fit.

Fit your own watch or smartwatch band. Check the band width listed on the product.

Measure every few months; children grow fast. Elastic and adjustable bands grow with them.

Length	Where it sits
16 in	Around the base of the neck. Short and close.
18 in	Just below the collarbone. The most common length for women.
20 in	A little lower, easy to wear over clothes.
22–24 in	At or below the chest. Common for men and dog-tag styles.

Print this page at 100% (no "fit to page"), then check that the 1-inch mark measures 1 inch with any ruler before using it.
