SIZING GUIDELINES FOR A MEDICAL ALERT BRACELET OR MEDICAL ALERT ANKLET:
To obtain an accurate size for a medical alert bracelet or medical alert anklet, wrap a soft tape measurer around the smallest part of your wrist or ankle (not too tight and not too loose), then ADD A HALF inch to that number. For example, if your wrist or ankle measures 8”, then your bracelet size or anklet size is 8.5”. Please view our convenient sizing chart at the bottom of this page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the soft tape measurer begins at one inch. Some tape measurers manufactured outside the United States do not begin at one inch. It is paramount that customers do not use any other measuring techniques to provide a size. The “string” and "ribbon" methods work only for flat or chain bracelets and anklets. Measuring a flat or chain bracelet or anklet will yield a size too small. Medical alert bracelets and medical alert anklets with medical alert tags, and beaded jewelry in general, require a different measuring protocol because more room is needed between the beaded bracelet strand or beaded anklet strand and your wrist or ankle.
SIZING GUIDELINES FOR INTERCHANGEABLE BRACELET
If a customer already has a medical alert tag and is purchasing an interchangeable bracelet strand or interchangeable anklet strand without a medical alert tag, please read the following Sizing Guidelines. Because Alert Medical Bracelets™ has customers who purchased medical alert tags elsewhere and many of our own customers purchase more than one medical alert tag, Alert Medical Bracelets™ must rely on the customer to provide an accurate size when ordering interchangeable bracelet strands or interchangeable anklet strands. Do NOT provide a size that includes the medical alert tag; instead indicate the length of the bracelet strand or anklet strand only per the instructions below.
Instructions for Obtaining a Size for an Interchangeable Bracelet Strand or Interchangeable Anklet Strand: Remove the medical alert tag from the bracelet or anklet. Stretch the bracelet strand or anklet strand on a flat, level surface and measure it with a soft tape measurer from the top of the clasp to the top of the other clasp. If the bracelet strand or anklet strand curves, then hold the bracelet strand or anklet strand against the top of the soft tape measurer, beginning at the top of the clasp and stretching the bracelet strand to the top of the other clasp. This measurement will be the “size” to indicate in the “Size” option.
Your Wrist Size Bracelet Size 6 inches 6.5 inches 6.25 inches 6.75 inches 6.50 inches 7.00 inches 6.75 inches 7.25 inches 7.0 inches 7.50 inches 7.25 inches 7.75 inches 7.50 inches 8.00 inches 7.75 inches 8.25 inches 8.0 inches 8.5 inches 8.25 inches 8.75 inches 8.50 inches 9 inches
Again, do not use any other measuring techniques to provide a size for interchangeable bracelet strands or interchangeable anklet strands.
