My waist is 39 1/2"; should I buy a small and an extender? or go for a med. and hope it will fit?

Well my waist is like 30" and I got a small and it is pretty snug so yeah I'd say medium for sure.

I would say go for the medium. My hips measure at 33" to 35" depending on where exactly I measure, the time of month, recent pig outs etc. Since the 35" is at the end of the size small measurements I wondered the same thing. But the small fits me great. I usually wear it on the last set of hooks (it has 3 sets just like a bra does to customize the fit), but sometimes wear it on the middle set. You want it to be snug to keep your firearm secure but not too tight to where you can't wear it comfortably. I'd say go with the medium, try it & then if you need to you can order an extender. Can Can has great customer service, if you find you do need an extender I'm sure they'd be very helpful in getting you fixed up. Enjoy your new holster. I love love love mine. Highly recommend it. Best $ I've spent!

That is my size and the stretchers will work fine...in fact, they will adjust to even larger sizes. The waist size doesn't have much to do with the way they work. You will love them. You adjust them small, put them in the pant leg, then adjust them outward till they are tight. Do this first on the cuff end then the top. You will have a perfect crease. Saves wear and tear on clothes. I hang mine on a shower rod and turn a fan on them.

I'm about the same size. Perhaps a little smaller. I got the large and feel pretty sure that the med would not fit me. I really like the best by the way

The details on Amazon says it fits up to a 51" waist. My 40" has no problems.

Go for the next size, better safe than sorry. It actually adjusts. Good luck!

No, you need a larger size. 14/16 would be for waist of 40 to 42 inches I think. I bought 18. I would say 20 or 22? You do have some stretch though, so you could buy small. Edited to add: the vendor is very friendly. You should email them directly and ask.

If you want true compression with 31" waist, small. I'm 32 with a tape measure and have the small size. I do prefer to roll the waistband down when wearing them.

That is why I stated in my review that you should buy two different sizes. They manufactured the elastic bands too short. Hopefully the larger size has bands equivalent to waist size. The other brand I used had longer bands, but they are no longer selling. Next time I am buying a large. For all you out there contemplating a operation, research before you buy. The Hernia Institute in England is a treasure of info. For some reason England is far more advanced than the US, according to the information on their website. The mesh they use in america is not a great idea. It is prone to movement within the body, it is painful for quite some time, and can get infected. I have talked to people who have used this method. Many negative reviews. Any way you look at it, hernia's are a bitch. If I knew a place that had a perfect cure that lasted a lifetime, I would have been there long ago. Next I will see what's available in Canada and France. Somewhere in this world there has to be the right solution................ GOD Bless You All.

I don't know if I would suggest a small.I too have a 30 inch waist and a medium fits perfectly.The entire velcro piece wraps back around to secure properly.I would think a size small would secure using a portion of the velcro but not all.When exercising I would want the belt to be secure as possible.

I have a 27" waist and there is maybe 4 more inches it could go down. I tend to wear it around my hips.

Make sure you measure the outermost point. We made a measuring mistake and ordered one too small. The return was easy and we got another one. It fit just right. I can only speculate, but based on my experience I would get a bigger size, because even the correct one was tight and there was little if any stretching. Good luck.

I have a 26" waist. I almost bought the xs because I read the strap is long. I ended up getting the sm because I was nervous the xs would be a little short but it would have been perfect because the strap is very long. Overall it still tightens well and I like it. I would get the medium.

Susan...I just measured the mid section of my dog and it was about 16 inches...and the small fits fine....but I worry that especially for a 19.5 inch waist the small might be too snug and uncomfortable for your dog

I am thin and have a 30 waist and am 5'9'.I find the small snug the way I feel they should fit and slightly long.So I would think you should go with the 34 waist and hope the length will be long enough.

I wear a 36 waist and the medium Sportaid (35-41") worked fine. So, I would safely suggest the small per the link to the sportaid site.

Possibly the smaller. I am 5.2 and 140 and I use the 42 inch. It seemed big at first but the larger size makes it easier to keep going. I have lost several inches from my waist .

I would go with the waist measurement. But to be sure call the company and ask them then you can also ask about returning it if it does not fit.
