How to measure disposable glove size?

1. If you already have gloves, just try them on. But if you're shopping online or making custom gloves, it's useful to know your hand size.

2. Hands up. If someone measures for you, hold out your palm as a greeting; If you're measuring by yourself, it's easier to have your palm facing you. Keep your fingers open and your thumb relaxed.

3. Measure the width of your hand. Use a soft tape measure to measure the thickest part of the palm, where the finger meets the palm. It is generally measured from the outside of the palm (below the little finger) to the inside of the palm (between the index finger and thumb). Don't measure the outside of the thumb, just the palm. If you don't have a soft tape measure, use a piece of string or a long piece of paper instead.
